If it was already illegal there(according to the governer) why was Tesla allowed to sell there in the first place?

As awful as it sounds, in some ways I am cheering for more sales bans. Because the more there are in place, the sooner this is forced to a national level where it would be impossible to defend in light of the interstate commerce clause of the constitution.
Republican governors side with the dealers
Democrat governors side with the unions

Yes it puts the problem and the way interstate commerce law and state law comes in direct conflict in the spotlight. The petition to the White House seemed to have no effect what so ever. The dealership lobby have deep pockets and at lot of politicians on their pay-roll. In what form could this be handled at a national level? Is it Supreme Court material? Federal Trade Commision? What is the most likely place for the issue to end up eventually?
One solution... Elon Musk for president!
As a Norwegian, and not quite well versed in US law, what does the Michigan bill actually mean? Michigan customers can still configure and order their car on the web site, or? And have it delivered to their home?
Just order them over the web and collect them at the service center... not really any different.
Service Centers are banned in Michigan. Michigan has the most restrictive law. No Sales Centers. No Service Centers. No Galleries.
Dodged the issue. Expectable, but disappointing. Looks like he's like most executives who find themselves in this position: too weak to deal with the racketeering dealers and the feckless/corrupt legislature (IMHO). Too bad.Michigan Gov. Snyder signs anti-Tesla bill into law.
Does it have any effect on supercharger locations?
