It's going to summer study, after which it will likely come up again.
IMO, that's a big win and gives us plenty of opportunity to rally with a public education effort.Pretty clear that today is just going to be testimony in favor. At least it's going to summer study... Again.

Indiana certainly isn't the only state where protectionist dealer bills come back. Pulling the amendment sets up a pattern of hearing/rejection, should it come up again however. So, I think this is good news, even if the plane needs to stay warmed up for Atty. Chen.
I'd be interested in knowing why they failed to go forth with the study with Tesla's cooperation last year. Instead, the legislature seemed to try to achieve their means with HB 1254 this year. Will have to look at the history of SB72 from 2015.
Listen to the beginning of Jim Chen's statement, he says that SB72 last year was referred to summer study and assigned to interim study for the Committee on Roads and Transportation and that never happened. He says that Tesla stood ready to come in and to work with that committee and to present all the information before the legislature.

I used to be on the pro Tesla camp on this but given the crap I've seen about Tesla not selling parts or providing repair documentation, I'm completely on the other side of this now. The model that Tesla has chosen is anti competitive and makes them the sole supplier of everything else related to owning and operating a Tesla after the sale. I know a bunch of you are going to ream me for my opinion but if Tesla was sold through franchised dealerships, you'd never see the kind of walled garden crap we have now.
The owner of the Hubler GM dealerships testified how they protected the consumer and provided a competitive landscape.
Soooo... how is it competitive when they own all the GM dealerships in the area?
