I'm glad to see a conservative Governor that believes in free market Capitalism

Florida bans Direct to Consumer car sales
quote:
A new Florida law changes how cars can be sold in the Sunshine State, hampering the nation's largest automakers while boosting electric vehicle makers.
Gov. Ron DeSantis this week approved HB 637, which bars legacy automakers from offering a direct-to-consumer or online sales option if the company already sells vehicles in the state through dealership. That means companies with existing car lots — like Ford and General Motors — are included in the ban.

Volkswagen sales?

I'd like an explanation for this besides cronyism but I bet there isn't one.

That's dumb. Someone explain why this is good

Tesla got an exclusion from this

So basically the old school dealership type companies aren’t allowed to convert over to direct to customer in order to protect salesman’s jobs?
Sounds like a win for Tesla

Between this and the hate speech bill it’s pretty clear who is pulling his strings.

Not one person who supported tariffs supports free market capitalism.

Without doing research into this bill I’m pretty sure why the Florida House and Senate passed it and Ron signed it.
The auto dealerships paid the politicians to screw the consumer and make a ton of money for the dealership which they will share with the corrupt politicians.
I’m not talking about Ford and Chevy headquarters. But I am talking about Big Teds Chevy Dealership located next to the mall.

Pretty rough move. I assume he'll spin it as providing more options for Florida residents / protecting jobs for Florida car salespeople, but is a grotesque government overreach.
It's just like how Tucker said he would ban self driving trucks because the economic impact of having tens of thousands of adult men unemployed in a short span would be devastating. This is just really buying time for Florida to hopefully start drawing down that industry, because there are thousands of car salesmen who will lose their livelihoods over the next decade.

1. I don't like this.
2. If you like tariffs you should love this. It's the exact same principle.

I don’t see what good this does but it was passed almost unanimously through the Florida legislature. DeSantis wouldn’t have been able to stop it

Ron is not Conservative

Man why do conservatives always shite things up?
They can’t get out of their own fricking way sometimes.

That’s definitely a bad look.
