Tesla Motors Inc. has deflected an attempt in Indiana to force it to sell its electric cars through conventional dealers, The Wall Street Journal reports.
A proposed amendment to a bill about dealer licensing and regulation would have revoked Tesla’s two-year-old license to sell its EVs direct to buyers if it failed to switch to a system of independent dealers by the end of 2017. Legislators agreed to remove the amendment.
Tesla complained at a hearing last month that the proposal was actually written by General Motors Co., which has said it opposes any seller operating under different rules than other carmakers. GM says it will “continue to work on this issue.”
