That is essentially why Tesla won (for now) in MN. The wording of the law is that a manufacturer cannot compete directly with its own franchised dealers. Since Tesla has no franchised dealers in MN, the factory can sell directly here. Legislators were unwilling at this time to rewrite the law to exclude Teslas sales model.The law was designed to protect current franchises‘, form the big 3 going rogue. Tesla has no franchises that need protecting. I think they will win.
