"End Tesla Exception Act"; repeals statute permitting Tesla and other zero emission vehicle manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to consumers.

This bill, the "End Tesla Exception Act," repeals Section 6 of P.L.2015, c.24, which permitted Tesla and other zero-emission vehicle manufacturers to sell vehicles directly to consumers in New Jersey. It would require these manufacturers to sell through franchised dealerships rather than direct sales, aligning zero-emission vehicle sales with standard motor vehicle sales rules. The bill specifically targets the exception that currently allows direct sales by zero-emission vehicle manufacturers. This change would affect Tesla and other zero-emission vehicle manufacturers operating direct sales in New Jersey.
