Not available in Virginia

Tesla cars are stylish and sustainable—the all-electric sports cars can go hundreds of miles on a single charge. They’re also pretty expensive, starting at around $60,000 and moving up in price about as quickly as they drive.

They’re in limited supply too, available locally only at a D.C. showroom at 11th and K Streets NW. And as WTOP reports, that’s not about to change anytime soon:

Virginia officials have rejected a request from electric car maker Tesla Motors to operate its own dealership at a Tysons Corner mall.

State law requires manufacturers to sell cars through a dealer, unless the manufacturer can show that no dealer is available.

Tesla sought an exception, saying its unique model for selling cars would not be attractive to a traditional dealer. The showroom would be more of a “design studio” where customers would use touch screens to customize options. No inventory would be on hand, and customers would wait up to six months to receive their vehicle.

The California-based company was certainly expecting that the store would be approved—it’s listed on its website, after all.
