A surge of anti-Tesla legislation is emerging across states like New York, Missouri, California, and Colorado, aimed at regulating driverless vehicles amid community safety concerns. These bills target Tesla's direct-to-consumer sales model and impose requirements for human drivers in autonomous vehicles. Critics warn of lobbying firms that work for municipalities while simultaneously receiving funds from Elon Musk, creating a conflict of interest. The evolving landscape of driverless technology regulation raises questions about safety, labor, and the influence of corporate lobbying on legislative decisions.
The wave of anti-Tesla legislation is, I think, one of the more effective responses to [what] Elon Musk did at DOGE. He's obviously desperate to detoxify Tesla and desperate to get back to business as usual.
In New York and Missouri, lawmakers have taken aim at Tesla with proposals to require all new cars and trucks to be sold through franchised dealers, a move which would effectively force the closure of the company's direct-to-consumer showrooms.
