Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk has taken to the company blog today to oppose a ruling by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission that it would no longer be able to sell directly to customers. The ban was put into place utilizing a law designed to protect franchise owners from outside pressures by car manufacturers.
Musk says that this law is being used incorrectly — and too broadly — in New Jersey, and says that Tesla is considering legal action in order to open sales back up in the state.
“We are evaluating judicial remedies to correct the situation. Also, if you believe that your right to buy direct at a Tesla store should be restored, please contact your state senator & assemblyman…” says Musk in the post.
