I guess we've got a "both sides" situation. What other companies will NY state restrict from doing business (for purely political reasons)? This isn't the right way to play. Innovative business models to save money are not welcome in NY state.

Actually, sounds like they have only Tesla an examption so they are just putting Tesla in the same category as other manufacturers. This seems reasonable (why would Tesla have an exemption in the first place?). I mean, you can reasonably argue whether it’s a good rule or not, but it doesn’t seem wrong to treat Tesla like everyone else.[/quote]

Look, the car dealership lobby (the dinosaur companies) have a chokehold on the politicians. Any new business model (and it can be for ANY product) could be locked out of business in a state because of this kind of lobbying. It hurts AMERICA because we cannot develop new models that are competitive. Any car company could decide to use Tesla's model for selling cars. Why should Tesla have to sell like other manufacturers? It is not reasonable at all. Do you want to continue to pay too much for your car? Tesla is not like everyone else. EV cars do not need the same infrastructure as ICE cars. Why penalize them for not having it? I would not vote for that governor if I lived in NY.

Rivian has the same model for selling EVs. [/quote]

Every car maker has EV cars along with ICE and hybrid.    Tesla which is currently failing shouldn’t be given special favors.  [/quote]
