Tesla has officially petitioned Wisconsin courts to allow direct sales of cars, joining ongoing efforts against state bans on direct automaker sales. This move, part of a broader struggle that includes competitors like Rivian and Lucid Motors, reflects tensions between automakers and dealer associations. Currently, Wisconsin law requires consumers to purchase Tesla cars out of state, a situation faced by 22 states with similar restrictions. A hearing is scheduled for March 24, as Tesla aims to overturn these laws following recent victories in Kentucky and Louisiana.
"Tesla has filed an official petition with the state of Wisconsin to allow the company to sell cars directly to consumers, challenging existing dealership laws."
"Currently, Wisconsin is just one of many states in which Tesla buyers must drive out of state to purchase and pick up one of the company's vehicles due to laws requiring dealership sales."
