Actually, it does.
FTFA:
State law requires auto dealers to be licensed, and by offering test drives, Tesla was acting as a dealer
Actually, that is not anywhere in the law. As I said, I read the law. The law explicitly states that in order to sell cars retail, someone must be licensed by the DOT. That sentence you quoted is the interpretation of the DOT, NOT something written in the law.
Until then, Tesla has to cease and desist because what they were attempting to do is illegal, am I right?
No, you are wrong. They had to cease and desist because a bureaucrat ruled that what they were doing was illegal...even though they were not doing what the law the bureaucrat based that ruling on said was the illegal act.
I will give you an example that may help you understand. I have a friend who made some renovations to a house he bought. The township building inspector came by and said, "These renovations were illegal because you didn't get a building permit. " Your answer would be, "See, what he did was illegal because the building inspector said it was illegal." However, my friend had a copy of the township ordnance on what types of renovations required a building permit. The township ordnance explicitly stated that you only needed a building permit if you increased the number of doors and/or windows or expanded the footprint of the house. My friend had decreased the number of doors and windows as part of his renovation and did not change the footprint of the house. The fact that a bureaucrat says that something is illegal does not meant that it is illegal.
it should be a crime to use drinking water to flush a toilet.
This is the type of generalization that is the problem with all central planners, including those who advocate doing so in order to "save the environment". Where I live the amount of fresh water available so far exceeds the needs of the population and the environment that the additional costs in energy and other environmental impact exceed any value gained from using "grey water" to flush toilets. Not only is the rainfall more than adequate, the landscape is such that the rain which does fall is able to soak into the ground sufficiently to replenish the ground water levels.
Living on Earth may be expensive, but it includes an annual free trip around the Sun.
