A measure to end Tesla's ability to sell to consumers was introduced in Washington state Legislature
Senate Bill 5377, sponsored by Sens. Rebecca Saldaña (D-Seattle) and Mike Chapman (D-Port Angeles), strengthens consumer protections and promotes fair practices among manufacturers, distributors, and local auto dealers. It closes a decades-old loophole that limited consumer choice and created an uneven playing field for manufacturers of clean-fueled vehicles in Washington state.
Unfortunately, legislators didn't have the spine or public backing to get it out of committee, so it died early.
