Traditional auto dealers applied the emergency brake last year when Tesla initially sought approval for a sales location in Virginia.
The president of the state auto dealers association, Don Hall, said his group doesn’t oppose Tesla, it just wants the company to heed Virginia rules of the road for car buyers’ own good. What would happen, Hall wondered, if Tesla failed and left cars in circulation without the network of service technicians to maintain them, such as those at franchise dealerships?
