Motor Vehicle Commission approves regulations banning Tesla stores in state | NJBIZ
By Andrew George
The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission unanimously voted Tuesday to pass a series of regulations in conflict with Tesla Motors' business model, essentially banning the electric car maker from operating any further in the state.
The regulations require all new cars to be sold by a franchised dealer rather than directly through the manufacturer, which Tesla currently does through corporate-owned stores.
Also included in the regulations are stipulations that all dealerships offer at least 1,000 square feet for their showrooms and maintenance areas. Tesla, however, does not incorporate service centers at each of its stores. For example, the company maintains two New Jersey stores in the Garden State Plaza and Short Hills Mall shopping complexes but only offers service at a separate location in Springfield.
