Tesla Applies for Dealership License in Michigan - Fortune

In a statement, a Tesla spokeswoman said:

"As recently amended, current Michigan law prohibits Tesla from being able to license its own sales and service operations in the state. Submission of the application is intended to seek the Secretary of State’s confirmation of this prohibition. Once confirmed, Tesla will review any options available to the company to overturn this anti-consumer law."

Yep. Looks like they're establishing standing to sue. Makes a whole lot more sense than all the other wild speculation.

I fully support Tesla on this action and hope that they will be able to open their own stores that they have full control over in Michigan. The dealership laws are outdated and need to be done away with nationwide.
