"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:

  1. explains why Tesla don't want to sell through dealers, claiming a conflict of interest between selling and servicing gasoline and electric cars.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 never said that was why they were called blue laws. Use some reading comprehension.

    You said:

    > It's called "Blue Laws", something that you only find in Democrat-leaning blue states like NJ, because apparently Democrats are really big on religious-based laws for some reason

    If that isn't what you meant, you should have said something like:

    > It's called "Blue Laws." You only find them in Democrat-leaning states like NJ, because apparently Democrats are really big on religious-based laws for some reason.

    Please don't accuse me of being unable to read when your writing is ambiguous.

    Anyway, I don't think that's necessarily true about them being mainly in Democratic states. And as the Democrats lean more and more toward atheism, it will become still less true.
