Minnesota’s Car-Salesman-in-Chief, a.k.a. Gov. Tim Walz, has finally been given the go-ahead to sell automobiles his way. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a case brought by the folks who actually sell cars. In effect, that means that Walz can run the car lots, not that he should.

The Car-Salesman-in-Chief believes that the main thing preventing Minnesotans from embracing electric vehicles is that they cannot walk onto a lot, kick the tires and take EVs for a test spin. The problem, as he sees it, is that car lots have insufficient EV inventory sitting there.
