The State Of New York Is Picking A Really Dumb Fight With Tesla

• A New York State Senator wants to repeal Tesla's licenses to operate stores in the state.
• The licenses only exist because state leaders chose to protect their car dealership friends from competition, a sign of money's hold on politics.
• While Tesla has five stores in the state, companies like Lucid, Rivian and Scout are still barred from setting up sales centers anywhere in New York.
