In a free market economy, their should be no reason that Tesla would not be able to sell directly to its customers. However, some states have franchise laws that prohibit direct sales of cars and only allow cars to be sold by dealerships.Tesla uses the direct sales model to reduce costs and the hassle of the buying experience. Anyone who has purchased an ICE vehicle knows what I mean by the hassle of the buying experience.Here is some added information on on direct sales by state:States with total direct sales bansNew Mexico (also bans service centers)In January 2019, the Public Affairs Committee approved the Tesla-friendly Senate Bill 243, but it died on the Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee calendar. House Bill 294 died in the House Commerce and Economic Development Committee.Alabama (also bans service centers)Alabama regards manufacturer-owned new motor vehicle stores and service centers as "unfair and deceptive trade practices".In August 2016 State Senator Tom Whatley introduced Senate Bill 22, assigned to the Senate Tourism and Marketing Committee, which would allow a manufacturer of alternative fuel vehicles to sell and lease its vehicles directly to the public. The bill died in committee.South Carolina (also bans service centers)South Carolina bans manufacturer ownership of new car dealerships and manufacturer service/repair of cars they do not own. A bill was introduced in 2019 to allow electric only manufacturers to sell in the state. However, Tesla does offer mobile service in the state.LouisianaLouisiana enacted a law in June 2017 that bans direct to consumer sales of vehicles. A service center is planned in New Orleans.TexasTexas enacted laws make it illegal to buy a car from Tesla in person, at a Tesla Gallery. Thus, all Texas orders are taken via the internet or over the phone. Texas residents can still easily buy a car from Tesla, but the purchase is handled as an out-of-state transaction and must be completed before the vehicle ships to Texas. Tesla recently added the ability to include tax, title, license, and registration in the sale price of the car so the purchaser doesn't have to pay that separately once they receive the vehicle. In 2015, Tesla lobbied the Texas Legislature to modify the law to allow Tesla to sell directly to consumers, and specifically allow Tesla employees to discuss "financing, leasing, or purchasing options" at the firm's existing galleries in Austin, Dallas, and Houston.Texas considered legislation in 2015 to allow Tesla to operate in the state but legislation was not passed.As of 2016, most of the GOP delegates support direct sales while Governor Abbott prefers the current system. According to Texans for Public Justice, Tesla spent $1.3m on lobbyists while dealerships spent $1m.ConnecticutConnecticut does not allow manufacturer direct sales, but does allow direct leasing. Tesla operated a gallery in Greenwich that the Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association successfully got shut down via a lawsuit. In March 2018, Tesla was appealing a ruling that they operate the Greenwich gallery as an unlicensed dealership, but later dropped the appeal. The gallery was shut down in March 2019.In December 2019, Tesla started offering leases at their showrooms which allowed them to provide test drives for customers discussing leases.In 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 bills were introduced in the legislature to allow licensing electric vehicle manufacturers as dealers.West VirginiaWest Virginia does not allow Tesla-owned stores or showrooms.In January 2019, House Bill 2219 was introduced that would allow a manufacturer to be licensed and operate as a new motor vehicle dealer if the company is ZEV-only and manufacturing since 2008.WisconsinAuto manufacturers are not allowed to sell directly to the public under Wisconsin law.In late 2017 a legislative bill named "Electric Vehicle Freedom Act" was introduced to allow only electric vehicle manufactures to sell directly. The bill is opposed by the Wisconsin Automobile Dealers & Truck Association.NebraskaNebraska prohibits auto manufacturer direct sales, but Legislative Bill 830 was introduced in 2018 in an attempt to change the law.There is a new bill being pushed into Legislation from Vargas again. LB51 - Change license applications, prohibited acts, and franchise restrictions under the Motor Vehicle Industry Regulation Act. On January 8th, 2020 - Title printed. Carryover bill.OklahomaOklahoma currently bans direct sales by auto manufacturers, but legislation was introduced in February 2018 to attempt to allow it.States with limited salesVirginia(2 stores, unclear if more would be denied)[edit]In Virginia Tesla has obtained license from the (DMV) for a single direct sales dealership (Tysons Corner). Upon learning of Tesla's attempt to obtain a second dealership in the state, the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association filed a lawsuit in March 2016 against both Tesla and the DMV to prevent the licensing of the second dealership.In September 2016, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (VDMV) recommended ending Tesla direct sales, as at least 11 dealerships were interested in selling Tesla vehicles.The VDMV later allowed Tesla to open another shop (Richmond), as Tesla has no dealerships to compete against; the 11 interested dealerships would not be able to compete on undiscounted prices, as Tesla has the same price online and in shops.Third-party profits could come from servicing as is traditional, but Tesla already has satisfactory servicing.The Virginia Automobile Dealers Association continues to use the legal system in an attempt to prevent Tesla from opening more than a single store and appealed the ruling by the Commissioner of the Department of Motor Vehicles allowing the second store to be open. However, in June 2019 a judge in the Richmond Circuit Court ruled against the Dealers Association.The Dealers Association also had state Senators remove a governor-appointed Tesla employee from the Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, created in 1995, that regulates car dealers in the state.Ohio(3 store limit)In December 2013, days before Tesla was to open its first store in Ohio, a one line amendment to a draft bill was proposed at the urging of the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association that would have prevented Tesla from selling directly to the public in the state. This amendment was dropped a day later.A group of auto dealers then sued the state to try to get Tesla's license rescinded. This suit was dismissed less than two months later. Shortly thereafter a legislative bill was introduced that would ban all manufacturers from owning dealerships, not just those with existing frachisees.A deal reached between Tesla and the Ohio Automobile Dealers Association in March 2014 allowed Tesla to have three stores but blocks all other auto manufacturers. The Ohio Senate approved the bill in April.New Jersey(4 store limit)On March 10, 2014, it was announced that New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and Governor Chris Christie's administration held a meeting to pass a new proposal into law. This new proposal, PRN 2013-138, was announced one day before it was to be put into law. Tesla responded by saying that the proposal "seeks to impose stringent licensing rules that would, among other things, require all new motor vehicles to be sold through middlemen and block Tesla's direct sales model," and that "[Governor Christie's] Administration has decided to go outside the legislative process by expediting a rule proposal that would completely change the law in New Jersey."The law was passed, and "Tesla will no longer be able to sell electric cars in New Jersey, effective April 1". Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla Vice President of Business Development, said, "Worse, it has done so without any reasonable notice or even a public hearing."Forbes contributor Mark Rogosky said, "The state's new rules protect its auto dealers from having to compete with Tesla's direct sales model"; he points out that this is a direct contrast from what Christie said earlier, "We are for a free-market society that allows your effort and ingenuity to determine your success, not the cold, hard hand of the government." Kevin Roberts, a spokesman for the Christie administration, responded by saying "it was the [Tesla Motors] company, not the governor's office, that was attempting to bypass normal procedures.".In March 2015, a new state law was signed allowing zero-emission vehicle manufacturers to sell at up to four location and require a minimum of 1 service center.2018 session Senate bill No. 3493 was introduced to increased the number of allowed sales locations to 14 by 2023, but increases the mandated retail service facilities to seven. It died in committee.In September 2019, the New Jersey auto dealers association, the New Jersey Coalition of Automotive Retailers, sued Tesla and the state to stop Tesla from selling cars by its current methods in the state.Maryland(4 store limit)In May 2015, Maryland approved, through House Bill 235, direct Tesla sales to customers beginning in October 2015, though limiting the statewide number of stores to only four. The legislation was crafted specifically for Tesla and allows only four manufacturers of electric or non-fossil fuel burning vehicles without existing franchisees to be licensed to sell direct to the public.Pennsylvania (5 store limit)Pennsylvania enacted a law in 2014 that allows Tesla to open up to five stores.New York (5 store limit)In 2014, New York banned direct sales but grandfathered in five Tesla stores. Tesla operates two galleries in addition to its five stores.There is proposed legislation (Senate bill S6600A and Assembly bill A8248A) to allow more stores. The Eastern New York Coalition of Automotive Retailers is opposed to this as is the Rochester Automobile Dealers Association.Georgia (5 store limit)Since 2015, Georgia law no longer restricts Tesla to 150 car sales per year but limits sales to five locations.North Carolina (6 store limit)Tesla's first store in North Carolina was in Raleigh. In 2016 the state would not grant Tesla a dealer license for a second location in Charlotte. A previous legislative bill that would allow six Tesla stores was shelved in 2017.In July 2019 a bill was passed allowing Tesla to operate a maximum of six stores, unlimited galleries and repair centers.States for which Tesla gained the right to mostly unrestricted direct sales:New Hampshire (2013 law change)In 2013, New Hampshire passed legislation to allow auto manufacturers with no existing franchise dealer in the state to engage in direct sales.Minnesota (2013 law interpretation)The Minnesota Department of Public Safety ruled in 2013 that the original dealer law "does not prohibit a manufacturer from becoming licensed as a dealer in Minnesota".The dealership association in the state failed in their attempt to get the law changed to block Tesla.Washington (2014 law)A 2014 Washington state law outlawed direct sales but grandfathered in Tesla.Massachusetts (2014 court ruling)After an almost two year court battle with the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association, a September 2014 ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court allowed Tesla to begin selling directly in the state. The court ruled the law only protected franchise dealers from abuse by manufacturers they already buy from; since no franchise dealers were selling Teslas at the time of the suit, the court ruled the Association had no standing to sue.Missouri (2017 court ruling)A Missouri circuit court ruled in August 2016 to end direct sales, confirmed in late December 2016, and delayed in early January while the Missouri Department of Revenue appeals the former verdict.]In December 2017 an appeals court reversed the circuit court's decision, saying the Missouri Automobile Dealers Association did not have standing to sue. However, the Dealers Association is backing new legislation that would allow it to sue.Wyoming (2017 law change)Wyoming banned direct sales until a law change in 2017 that created a direct sale manufacturer's license.Electric cars were seen as a way to promote the use of coal mined in the state.Arizona (2017 court ruling)Arizona blocked direct sales until June 2017 when an administrative law judge ruled that the Arizona Department of Transportation interpreted the law incorrectly. This was after a years-long legal battle by Tesla.Indiana (2017 law change)Indiana allows a service center and manufacturer sales for 30 months, ending direct Tesla sales by the end of 2017. A legislative proposal had further restrictions, opposed by Tesla.The Roads and Transportation committee approved a modification that grandfathered Tesla, but maintained the ban on all new direct sales by other automakers.Rhode Island (2017)In December 2017, Tesla was granted a license by the state of Rhode Island after DMV lawyers concluded that the law blocking direct auto sales only applied to manufactures that have franchise dealers. Tesla planned to begin sales in 2018 in Warwick, but this was pushed back to 2019.Utah (2018 law change)As of March 21, 2018, Utah Governor Herbert signed a bill into law allowing Tesla direct sales in the state.Michigan (2020 legal settlement)After a change of political leadership in Michigan's executive branch, on January 22, 2020, Tesla and the state of Michigan agreed to settle Tesla's 2016 federal lawsuit against the state for unfair vehicle sales and service restrictions. The agreement allows Tesla to sell and service cars within the state. Previously Tesla could not sell or service vehicles in Michigan. Tesla may deliver vehicles within the state, but they must be titled outside of Michigan and transferred to a new title after purchase. Tesla may not own a service center directly, but a wholly owned subsidiary may own a service centeColorado (2020 law change)Tesla opened its first and only Colorado store in Boulder in 2009. A 2010 revision to the state dealership law removed the word "franchised". This closed the loophole that Tesla had used to open a direct dealership but grandfathered in the existing singleThis limitation was supported by the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association.The store moved from Boulder to the Park Meadows shopping mall in Lone Tree in 2011. Showrooms/galleries have since been opened in Aspen, Vail, and the Cherry Creek Shopping Center in Denver, though these have since closed. There is a service center in Denver and a service center and showroom in Littleton. A large service center and store was built in Superior, Colorado in Boulder County, targeted for spring 2019 opening,, and opened in February 2020.A bill to allow direct sales died in the House in 2019, for which the Colorado Auto Dealers Association claimed credit. 2006 New Mexico Statutes, Section 57-16-5-V prohibits manufacturers like Tesla to be licensed as a dealer, directly or indirectly performing warranty or other services. Despite Tesla owners' pleas to change the law, they still currently depend on out-of-state centers such as Arizona and Colorado for Tesla sales and services.Hope you find this information useful.

Yes, Bill Gates is still richer than you -- and everyone elseNo surprise, Mark Zuckerberg also makes Forbes' annual list of the richest Americans.ANDREW MORSEJUNE 21, 2017 12:00 PM PDTThey're worth $165.1 billion. Monica Schipper / GettyCongratulations Bill Gates. You're a wealth triple threat.The Microsoft co-founder topped Forbes magazine's annual state-by-state list of American moneybags, ranking as the richest man in his home state of Washington, as well as the country and the world. His total worth: a cool $88.9 billion.Unsurprisingly, Silicon Valley types made more than cameo appearances on the who's who of fat cats. Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg won first place in California with a worth of $62.4 billion, $7 billion more than Oracle's Larry Ellison. Zuck, at 33, was the youngest person on the list and the third wealthiest person in the country. (Nebraska's Warren Buffett, who's worth $76.2 billion from Berkshire Hathaway, was the country's second wealthiest individual at the state-by-state level.)Charles Ergen, the co-founder of Dish, topped Colorado with a fortune of $18.8 billion. (Ergen's net worth grew faster than any other person on the list, according to Forbes, rising 41 percent from the previous year.) North Carolina's James Goodnight, a founder of business software maker SAS, was worth $10.1 billion. And Pierre Omidyar, a founder of eBay, was Hawaii's richest person and the state's sole billionaire with a net worth of $8.9 billion.The 52 folks (there were ties in two states) on the list had a combined worth of $747 billion.Whether the list will see a shakeup next year remains an open question. Washington state's Jeff Bezos -- you might remember him from such hits as Amazon.com and The Washington Post -- has a net worth of $83.3 billion. If Amazon shares continue their rise, he might over take Gates.Tech Enabled: CNET chronicles tech's role in providing new kinds of accessibility.Batteries Not Included: The CNET team reminds us why tech is cool.SHARE YOUR VOICE3 commentsTAGSCulture Tech Industry Bill GatesMark Zuckerberg eBay Facebook MicrosoftCLOSEDiscuss: Yes, Bill Gates is still richer than you -- and everyone elseBe respectful, keep it clean and stay on topic.

Quite possibly it was in 1999 when three disgruntled employees destroyed one with a baseball bat in the movie Office Space.Enrique Lores, head of HP's printer business, wants to give you a better attitude. He's happy for you to swipe through the photos you like on your phone. But for the photos you love, he wants you to make something you can feel with your hands and stick on your fridge so you can relive the good times.To get us there, he's trying to make printers that are easier to use -- especially from your phone -- and that aren't plagued by ink cartridges that you discover dried out when you dust off your printer for your kid's school project.Lores has grander ideas in the pipeline, too: social printing at parties with HP's tiny Sprocket printer, individually customized magazines, augmented reality coding that'll reveal whether that Louis Vuitton purse is or isn't a counterfeit, and printers that emblazon doors, shirts and curtains with new designs. HP's even part of a Japanese hotel project that will customize your hotel room's floor, walls and furniture if you visit during the 2020 Olympics.What consumers want is to print a photo of the person they love.Enrique Lores, HP printer chiefAnd perhaps most radically, he wants to build a printer that you'll actually be happy to see."To our disgrace, we have seen that consumers spend more money in furniture to hide the printers than in buying the printer," Lores said. If HP's investments in design succeed, you'll be proud to show off your next printer.Lores, a trim man with a lilting Spanish accent, oversees a business that pulls in $20 billion a year selling not just the cheap inkjet printers sitting in your home office but also the hulking printer-copiers in offices and the mammoth Indigo presses that can print high-quality custom photo books from companies like Shutterfly. And if you're a photography enthusiast, he's got some large-format fine-art printers he'd like to sell you.Lores discussed his business with CNET. The following is an edited transcript of the conversation.Q: People see printers as utilitarian things that take up space in the office. Are they a boring product category?Lores: This has been the case for a long time, and this is one of the things that we have started to change.Excitement will come more from the output than from the printers themselves. What consumers want is to print a photo of the person they love. Something we haven't done enough of is to redefine the category and make the printers look cool. If I look at the printers we used to do 29 years ago and the printers we do today, they're similar. As the leaders in the category, we have not done enough to reinvent it. This is something that we are doing today.We launched Sprocket last year, a small printer for consumers. We like this not only because it's a great business, but because it's bringing energy to the category. It's showing consumers new things, new ways of experimenting with the printed document. It's making printing cool again.For young generations that have never used printing before, it's showing them what it is possible. We have an initiative called social printing that is about how can we create those experiences. We [will enable] what we call party mode -- several people can connect to it and print their photos to the same [Sprocket] printer to make sure it becomes a social experience.The portable HP Sprocket Plus printer is designed to be used with phones. HP is working on a social printing mode to let multiple people use it at parties.HPSo the printer is a means to an end -- spotlighting memories. Can you give examples of what's going to happen that you can't do today?Lores: The best example is photos. Think about how many photos are taken every day by all of us with our phones. The big, big, big majority are never seen again. You forget you have them. We have lost the joy of seeing photos that we took. With printing you can bring that joy back. When you have a physical photo at home or on your fridge, that photo brings back the memories of the instant you took it. Physical experiences are important because they really help you to live again those memories that you really enjoy.How about a subscription service where your photos get automatically uploaded and you get a page with a bunch of pictures?Lores: We are working on many of these directions. For example, we are enabling voice management. You come back from a trip, you see your photos on Google Photos, then you say, "Print this photo."How big a business is printing at HP?Lores: It's about $20 billion per year -- around 40 percent to 45 percent of the revenue of the company and about 80 percent of the profit of the company. Since the separation [splitting Hewlett-Packard into Hewlett-Packard Enterprise and Lores' company, HP], the business has started to grow again. We have been growing for the last five quarters. Before that, we had not grown since before 2011.You've switched some ink purchasing to a subscription model. What fraction of customers are on that plan?Lores: We don't release the amount of customers, but it is growing for the last four or five years. It's starting to be a significant part of our business.With the subscription model, it's 70 percent cheaper to print. And HP monitors amount of ink in the printer, so before the printer runs out of ink, we ship our new cartridge to the consumer. We make sure that the printers are always working.Is this how everybody will buy supplies at some point? I imagine some people are nervous about that because they think they're going to get hit with costs they don't expect.Lores: Many customers don't like to give their credit card or don't like subscription services in general. So I don't think we'll ever be at 100 percent, but for a very large portion of consumers, yes.I'm curious about your technology for custom printing things like photo books and magazines and photo calendars. Tell me what you guys did with the April issue of Elle with Kim Kardashian.Lores: Every cover has a special, unique message. This one is "Hi, Enrique," with a signature from Kim. Every subscriber got a different magazine with a special dedication. It was about helping them to build a different connection with their subscribers. This is just the beginning, because in the same way we have personalized the cover, we can personalize the full magazine.Customized issue of Elle for Enrique Lores, head of HP printing divisionStephen Shankland/CNETAll these magazines have a lot of information about subscribers. They know the articles they like, the articles they don't like. They know the type of products that could be interesting and the type of products that are not interesting. They could redesign the full magazine and create fully personalized magazines. But you cannot personalize 100 percent, because there is also value in the unexpected -- but you also can personalize the unexpected. Eventually it will happen.We can produce personalized textbooks. You can choose the lessons. This will completely change the teaching experience and the learning experience.Augmented reality is interesting. How do you fit into that?Lores: We have printing technologies that can embed in images special codes that are invisible to the human eye but are visible to sensors. When the sensor sees the image, you get emails or you get a digital experience. All the Sprockets we sell today have this technology built in. For example, you can take a video of a bird and print one of the frames. When you see that frame through your phone, you will see the full video.Most of the content today is in our mobile devices, but how do we make printing easy from mobile interfaces?Enrique LoresWe are going to be embedding that in other technologies. We are doing that for packaging. This can also bring security, and security is very interesting for office documents.In packaging, you will get a lot of information about when something was produced, or whether it was produced in this factory or that other factory. You can use this for security and anti-counterfeiting. If you think about medicines, for example, anti-counterfeiting is really critical. All these technologies will really help to simplify that.I was covering a patent trial -- Apple v. Samsung -- and every morning people would wheel into the courtroom these huge carts with three or four dozen binders, each packed with 300 or 400 pages of paper. Most of them just sat there, these inert lumps of dead trees. Is this the right way to be doing things?Lores: Let me talk about the dead trees. Sustainability is more and more important for all of us. Today, printing has a stigma of not being sustainable. Believe it or not, it's not right.The HP Envy printer line, introduced in late 2017, is designed to make photo printing better and easier.HPWhen you think about the dead trees that were being carried in the courtroom, you have a visual from probably 50 or 100 years ago, when paper was coming from trees that were in forests. Today, 90-plus percent of paper comes from trees that have been planted to become paper. It's actually, if the printer demand declines, all those trees will never be planted. It's a difficult story to explain because it's totally counterintuitive, but a lot of trees that are planted in the world today are planted because there is a demand for paper.It's something we're working on right now -- how do we communicate that in the right way so consumers understand that actually print is sustainable.But millennials supposedly want less physical stuff. In the long run will people value that as much as they do today?Lores: This is where we go back to the value of the physical experience. In fact, millennials are the ones using Sprocket and enjoying it. This value of having something that you can touch, you can smell, you can play with -- it's true for everybody. When you interact with something printed, you are engaging with more senses than when you look at something on screen. And it's about using your tactile sense and your smell. You relate to objects in a different way than you relate to screens.Right, the smell of a book when you open the new book. But I mostly stopped buying paper books. You can fit a lot of books on one your phone these days. Are we moving more toward a paperless world?Lores: What we see is the number of pages of office documents printed per person in developed countries is going down because many processes are becoming digital. But when we look at the total number of pages printed in the world, it's actually stable. The decline in developed countries is compensated by the economic growth, mostly in emerging countries.HP has a lot of researchers. What are the pains you expect to see vanish? Inkjet cartridges that don't go dry? The end of paper jams? Printer drivers that don't suck?Lores: Making printing as easy and convenient as possible. Most of the content today is in our mobile devices, but how do we make printing easy from mobile interfaces? As we all go to voice interfaces, you will see a lot of work in that space.To our disgrace, we have seen that consumers spend more money in furniture to hide the printers than in buying the printers. Making printers that look cool and that you and I would be willing to have in the living room is another thing you will see us doing -- there's a lot of investment.To me, printing is a necessary evil in my life.Lores: You need to think of the positive. It brings your memories back to life.HP's Indigo products are mammoth, complicated printing presses used by companies like Shutterfly to make custom photo books.James Martin/CNETLet me explain a cool thing that probably I shouldn't. We have been working in the last years to help hospitals decorate rooms where kids are being treated. We did some technology to print posters and wallpaper. It is the only technology that can be used in a hospital. So now, in many departments for cancer treatment, they have been decorated so when kids go through the big machines, they are like space shuttles. What we are doing now is embedding AR technologies on those posters, so when the kids are waiting to be treated, they can go through a scavenger hunt. This help them to forget what is happening really with them. It can bring very cool experiences that can really help people to go through very difficult times.You're not in HP's 3D printer division, but you are expanding beyond printing on paper. What other media are in the future?Lores: By the end of the year, we will be shipping our first textile printer products. We are also launching this year a printer for corrugated cardboard. We can print on almost any type of plastic material. The amount of substrates we cover is very broad, and we are going to continue to expand that.This year we are also launching the first printer that will be able to print on rigid material. You can put a door through it and we will be printing on the door. It's up to 3 meters wide. It's going to be used a lot for either decoration and advertising.With fabric printing, the first thing that sprang to my mind is custom T-shirts.Lores: Our interest in textile is going to be more in sportswear, because for every kind of fabric you need to have special type of inks. You can print curtains or big textile signs. We will be expanding to T-shirts or other types of garments when we a design new type of ink.Who are the customers for that?Lores: It could be Nike printing sports shirts. We also see companies where you upload your photo or your design and they will print it for you. For example, most cycling teams have their own shirts for the club.CNET DAILY NEWSGet today's top news and reviews collected for you.I have read and agree to the CBS Interactive Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
