Appeals Court Revives Tesla's Challenge to Louisiana Direct Sales Ban

The ruling allows Tesla to pursue its claim against the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission for alleged bias and collusion.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal of Tesla's due process claim.
Tesla alleges the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission is biased and colludes with local dealerships.
Emails from the commission's executive director to Tesla's competitors were cited as evidence of bias.
The case now returns to the federal district court in New Orleans for further proceedings.
The ruling could expose systemic issues within state vehicle commissions and impact similar laws nationwide.
