MADA is out of touch with the consumer of today. No way should Tesla be prohibited from selling any car they wish. Waiting for a test drive.

Open competition is the US way.

I believe Tesla's brilliant engineering can bring us great cars to help wean us off our addiction to Middle-east gas and oil. Help us Tesla, we need you!!

All businesses should be free to offer their products to consumers at their best prices. Minnesota has an opportunity to remove archaic laws that suppress disruptive technologies, prevent competition, and raise prices for consumers. We have an opportunity to become an innovation, technology, and business leader. Please keep Minnesota's doors open

I support open market, clean automobiles, and want to stop road blocks that limit innovation.

There is no reason to deny Tesla the same opportunity that other business owners have which is to grow their business and target other markets. The only reason the MADA is stopping this is because of the greed and protections to nationally recognized auto dealers. Why try to stop something that helps not only on a environmental factor but creating more growth and opportunity.

The Tesla S is a automotive marvel in every sense of the word. It totally leaves the other auto manufacturers of electric or gas-electric cars in the proverbial dust. Mr. Musk's manufacturing facility out in California truly sets a new standard in automobile manufacturing. He is a real class act in seeking absolute perfection. If you have the money, and can afford it, get a Tesla S! There is NOTHING else like it. Hopefully, some time in the future, he will make an all electric car for "the common man."

I've owned a retail store for 25 years in St Paul. Let Tesla sell cars without the forced "used car salesman" approach. Move forward. Thank you. Nate Westgor Willies American Guitars

Great technology should be encouraged in the US. Innovation makes our country great--so does competition. Minnesota is traditionally a place where new technology is welcomed. I look forward to seeing more Teslas and charging stations here.

This country was founded on free enterprise, our representatives should be reminded of the definition. Tesla stands behind their vehicles, they recognizes when there is a problem and voluntarily corrects that problem. MInnesota Auto Dealers Association MADA) is more of a proponent for the auto dealers than for the consumer

Keeping Tesla and their particular business model out of Minnesota would be a win for special interests and a major loss for consumers across the state. As a young member of our state, and a farmer in our rural outstate region, it may be a long time before I can afford and/or justify a Tesla. However, ensuring this innovative company is able to sell their products in as many markets as possible will not only bring the next generation of transportation to more people, it will accelerate the adoption of the technology, creating opportunities for greater economies of scale. Minnesota has a grand opportunity to be a catalyst for the next generation of transportation. Please don't let special interests and protectionism disguised as the law get in the way. Some people do what's right for them, other people do what's right.

Please, please, please... Allow the electric car alternative be available in Minnesota- so we can lead the country in new-energy concepts, rather than relying on old technology that harms our environment.

We need innovative new cars and freedom for competition, especially with a car company that offers zero emissions and electronic automobiles. Go Tesla If I could afford it I would buy one today!
