Do you want to see Tesla here in Connecticut? Tesla wants to be here! Yet, due to CT law, the automaker cannot directly sell to consumers here in the state- rather if you're an CT resident and want to buy an American made, grade A, electic vehicle, you have to head to Massachusetts or New York to get it. Tommorow, join me in the House Transportation Committee at the Capitol in Hartford at 10:00 A.M. to help Raised Bill No. 7142 continue through the legislative process. I will be giving testimony in favor of the bill which would allow manufacturers like Tesla to sell their cars directly to the consumer through online purchases - something CT dealerships don't want to allow - yet doesn't Connecticut want to see the best electric cars on the market come to this state and help our economy? Tesla has been fighting here in CT for a long time, to help us and itself - it's a win win for CT, so let's finally get it done. Here is the bill in it's entirety: https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cga.ct.gov%2Fasp%2Fcgabillstatus%2Fcgabillstatus.asp%3FselBillType%3DBill%26bill_num%3DHB07142%26which_year%3D2019%26fbclid%3DIwAR3YkCwQAzF_f0linCjjbUv9OI8WV_2e1iHOaPEq3DiZ-pudPS36bAPmduU&data=02%7C01%7C%7C9be47a167f6f42853a1e08d69a96c7f4%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636866369719723037&sdata=AILk9JMa2K23RTmXOE3Hq2VyMigG1YAvSd%2B%2FBelf8Xw%3D&reserved=0 (Photo taken at Tesla store in Washington D.C.) #tesla #teslamotors #ct #ctgov (at Tesla Motors) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuR7ElcnKmu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2ktv5jn8m5vr
