SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Tesla says it’s disappointed that the Utah Supreme Court has ruled against the company in its push to sell sleek, all-electric vehicles in the state.
The company said in a statement Monday evening that it will pursue all options to sell in Utah, including working with the Legislature.
While Monday’s ruling means Tesla can’t currently sell its new cars in Utah, Tesla says it will continue offering service for Tesla cars in the state.
Utah’s Supreme Court upheld a 2015 decision denying Tesla a license to sell new cars, citing a state law that bans car manufacturers from owning dealerships. A message seeking comment from Tesla on Monday was not immediately returned.
