Tesla has applied for a dealership license in Michigan
What's the old adage? If you can't beat them, join them? Well, it seems that's exactly what Tesla is doing. The upstart EV automaker has applied for a dealership license in Michigan.
This is a change, of course, for Tesla because, up until now, it has been selling its cars around the country in company-run showrooms that sell direct to customers — thereby circumventing the dealership model. However, in 2014 Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder signed a bill into law that banned direct sales of vehicles, closing the loophole Tesla has been exploiting around the U.S. to avoid opening dealers.
