So why do the righties have their hate on for Tesla? Its innovation, a modern car startup. They borrowed money from the government and paid it back. What gives?

The Republican Party has for years insisted that they were the party of capitalism, of the free market. However, when the opportunity to show this appears, they instead do everything they can to prevent a free market from forming. Tesla Motors is now calling them on it, after North Carolina voted on a bill designed to eliminate their direct sales model, which bypasses the traditional 3rd party dealer system. As reported by the News Observer, the new law would ban direct sales, forcing auto makers to sell through a dealer even if it is a direct purchase from the manufacturer. This directly injured Teslas ability to sell in the state, but even more concerning, it limits future innovation in the auto sales industry.
