"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."

I'm an atheist, I live in NJ and I LOVE the blue laws. It makes for some peace and quiet at least one day per week. Every few years there's a vote to repeal and people always vote it down. I also love the fact we don't have to pump our own gasoline and it costs lees than in other states to boot.
The firings and offshore outsourcing will not stop until morale improves.
