"Following the ban on Tesla direct sale in New Jersey, Elon Musk wrote a message to the people of New Jersey on the Tesla Motor's blog, explaining why they don't want to go through dealers and what will happen next with the stores in New Jersey. To put a context around the issue: Tesla soared in consumer satisfaction, while Ford dropped and it's likely to continue dropping.
The post:
- explains why Tesla don't want to sell through dealers, claiming a conflict of interest between selling and servicing gasoline and electric cars.
- explains what will happen with their presence in New Jersey; the stores will be transformed into showrooms, with no info on price being offered, and servicing will not be impacted by the new regulation.
- tells people what they can do - buy online and receive the car delivered interstate or buy from across the river in Manhattan; They can also contact their representatives if they want back the right to buy directly from a store."

Blog post titles do not - as in this case - automatically make good headlines for news sites.
Here's a recent one: the Soylent headline was "Uptake of SDN Routing Hurting Conventional Sales" which was a marked and informative improvement over the linked article's "SDN Spawns Shift, Slowdown"
Blindly copying and pasting from a linked article is Slashdot's MO.
Headline length limits notwithstanding - the submission page appears to allow for 50 characters - it could still have been more informatively written:
