Tesla owners are outraged I'm sure. How will they afford the new tax?

actually the NC General Assembly is also trying to ban out of state automobile sales, which directly targets the Tesla so there's that too
A legislative proposal, backed by the N.C. Automobile Dealers Association, would make it illegal for Tesla, or any other car maker, to bypass dealerships and sell directly in the state. The proposal cuts at the heart of Tesla’s business model: selling luxury cars over the phone or Internet and then delivering them to the front door of high-net-worth customers.

That's fucking stupid. Is it a dealership lobby or is the state POed about lost sales tax revenue on the 2 or 3 Teslas that are sold to people in their state?
It's the car dealership association realizing they are going to be out of jobs soon. You can drop ship cars just like anything else, and with the information available online, we no longer need them. And the NC government is trying to get them to build a production plant in-state.
It's self-preservation for them not stupid.
I understand that, but how much business are they really losing as a result of this? I would think it would be a negligible amount, if that.
Interesting. One would think that the auto industry, much like every other industry, is eventually going to need to adapt to the Internet marketplace
