Forbes:
"Yesterday, in a blow for capitalism and common sense, the Ohio House declined to attach the amendment to the bill. For the moment, Tesla is free to open dealerships there, but the battle isn’t done. The legislature wants to look at the issue in greater depth again next year.
But in Ohio, existing franchise law made that leap impossible. The only reason an anti-Tesla law was needed was because the company had no existing dealerships to compete with. GM, Ford, or Audi already couldn’t open a corporate-owned dealership in Ohio whether or not the new law passed. But that didn’t stop Rhett Ricart, owner of a dealership in Groveport, Ohio from hyperbolically declaring: “Tesla is Armageddon” and insisting the legislation was needed."
