Ohio dealers — with 830 dealerships, 50,000 employees and $2 billion in payroll annually — say their businesses can only prosper when the law separates manufacturers and dealers.

What other industry in the fucking world operates like this? "We can only succeed if you remove direct sales from the manufacturer." Yeah, no shit.

Ohio made a deal with Tesla. I'd love to know the particulars.

The agreement with the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association was negotiated on Tuesday and approved by a Senate panel.

The bill allows Tesla to keep its existing stores in the Columbus and Cincinnati areas, and allows a third to open in Cleveland. It prohibits the company from opening any other stores.

The bill allows no other automaker to operate manufacturer-owned stores in the state.

Glad the Ohio automobile dealers association can write legislation.
