What's the story with GM creating dealer protection laws? Don't those laws exist to protect dealers from the manufacturers.

That's how they started(and with a heavy lobbying effort from dealers), but it's lately been used to attack Tesla's business model, which does not use in independent dealers.

The dealers, I'm sure, are doing more lobbying against Tesla than the other manufacturers.

They're going to be the face of the lobbying because they're local to legislators being lobbied, but I wouldn't assume that means anything about who pays the bills.

You're correct. Edited above. Made a mental association equating NADA with the manufacturers and that's inaccurate.
