I just received an email from Tesla (I own a model x) telling me to support this bill. They say:
Does anyone know if this would help Lucid as well? I don't want to support a bill that helps only Tesla.
This bill could be heard in a House Transportation Subcommittee as early as next Tuesday, and the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association (VADA) is actively working to kill it. The bill simply allows a manufacturer like Tesla that has already gone through an administrative hearing for a sales location to open subsequent locations without requiring additional administrative hearings, which are expensive and time-consuming affairs for companies and the state. Tesla has gone through this process multiple times, and the DMV has repeatedly found it is in the public interest for Tesla to own and operate its own dealerships.
