Tesla, known as the electric car to the stars, is getting ready to open its second store in Georgia. At the same time, the car company is getting push-back from the state’s automobile dealers.

With entry-level pricing upwards of $70,000, not everyone is in the market for a Tesla — even with Georgia’s $7,500 electric car incentive.

But Tesla Motors already has a showroom and service center in Marietta and is gearing up to open another one next week on Church Street in Decatur.
