Is House Bill 5605 accurately described as being ‘anti-Tesla?’ Well, that depends on who you’re talking to. Michigan Governor Rick Snyder doesn’t seem to think so, and State Representative Aric Nesbitt, who introduced the bill itself, has specifically stated that it’s not directed at the electric-vehicle manufacturer.
