Tesla electric car direct application rejected by US state of New Jersey

[Guide] The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Management Board voted in Tuesday to ban motor vehicle manufacturers from selling motor vehicles in the state. Tencent Science and Technology Ming Xuan March 12 compiled Tesla Chief Executive Elon (Elon Musk) has been hoping to be able to direct sales of Tesla electric cars to New Jersey public. But the New Jersey Motor Control Board voted in Tuesday to ban motor vehicle manufacturers from selling motor vehicles in the state. That means Tesla cannot sell its electric cars directly to customers, but must sell them through distributors. In Tuesday, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Management Commission confirmed that the proposal to ban the direct sales of motor vehicle manufacturers in the state last October was formally approved on that day. This means that, in New Jersey, it is necessary to have a dealership qualification to sell a car. Tesla said the decision by the New Jersey Government and the DMV would undermine Tesla's model of selling cars. The New Jersey government argues that Tesla has long been aware that New Jersey's laws must be adjusted to suit the company's sales model. At present, the vast majority of car manufacturers are authorized agents to sell cars. Before the New Jersey Motor Management Board approved the proposal, Tesla posted a blog on the company's website saying the governor's office "violated his promise to postpone the adoption of the anti-Tesla rule," which means that New Jersey would use legal weapons to limit Tesla's direct sales to the state. Tesla, which owns two outlets in New Jersey, said the immediate rule would force the stores to stop selling and hinder the company's future opening of new stores in NJ. "New Jersey has previously issued two dealer licences to the company, but it completely subverts the long-term stance of the New Jersey Motor Management Board on Tesla's retail outlets," Tesla said. Tesla also said the company believes "it is critical to use retail outlets to market its own electric cars, because electric vehicles are relatively new technology." The direct marketing model is not just to sell more electric cars, or to provide the best consumer choice, but also to inform consumers of the benefits of using electric cars. "The Musk in Tuesday said that New Jersey auto dealers were overturning democratic procedures, trying to ban Tesla's sales in New Jersey and hoping to get support from New Jersey customers and the public." It is reported that the New Jersey motor Vehicle retailer Alliance is the main block for Tesla's development in New Jersey, which spent 155,000 of dollars last year lobbying for a boycott of Tesla's direct sales in the state. New Jersey became the third state that banned Tesla from selling cars directly to customers after the Alisanra state and Texas. Tesla will stop direct sales in New Jersey from April 1 this year, according to the rules. Tesla's shares fell 1.9% per cent in conventional trading in the Nasdaq Stock market in Tuesday, at $234.41.
