Tesla expands direct sales model reach with Kentucky being the latest state

Tesla has secured a direct sales license in Kentucky after state authorities banned it from certain sales, according to Tesla Owners of Kentucky.

BREAKING NEWS: I just got word that @Tesla’s sales license has been granted in Kentucky within the past hour!! We’ll be selling from Louisville soon! I also found sales openings on their career page. pic.twitter.com/XyyTf5k6Ix

At the time, Kentucky regulators contended that the Musk-led company’s direct-to-consumer model violates particular legislation that mandates vehicle sales to occur only in a franchised dealership.

The renewed list of automotive dealers Kentucky released on Friday backed the claims that Tesla has finally received a sales license in the state. As you can see in the document, Tesla is located at 11701 Gateworth Way in Louisville. It would not be surprising if Tesla decided to build an actual store and service hub in Kentucky soon.

Tesla breaks down dealer barriers

Kentucky officials previously limited Tesla’s operations in the state despite allowing it to sell its vehicles directly to customers.

For instance, the electric automaker faced constraints on vehicle leasing and certain service operations.

The restriction basically deterred the Musk-led company from leasing its electric vehicle models to customers. It also prevented Tesla from conducting service operations in the state, forcing owners to go to other states to get the service they needed.

With the attainment of an official direct sales license, Tesla has broken down these barriers that used to impede its sales in the state.

Hiring underway

As you can see in the Tesla Owners of Kentucky’s X post, Tesla has also been conducting recruitment in Louisville.

Open positions include the following:

  • Tesla Sales Advisors
  • Vehicle Readiness Specialists
  • Sales Managers
  • Service Technicians

Tesla outlined in the job advertisement that successful candidates for the Tesla Sales Advisor position will be responsible for “consistently delivering an educational, immersive, and exciting experience to both current and potential customers.”

Tesla’s attainment of a direct sales license in Kentucky is undoubtedly a significant feat, potentially enabling the brand to further expand its footprint in the state. Tesla may launch physical stores and service hubs in the state soon, bringing its products closer to local customers. With hiring underway for various positions, Tesla is indeed capitalizing on this new opportunity.
