Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA) To Open Dealership In Virginia
Tesla applied for an exemption to Virginia’s law...although Virginia DMV commissioner Richard Holcomb rejected the company’s bid. After that, the automaker sued. Last month after negotiations with the state and the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) agreed to withdraw its lawsuit. In exchange, it will be allowed to apply for just one license to sell vehicles in the northern part of Virginia.
