Tesla Inc. (TSLA) will be able to sell and service its cars to Michigan residents under a settlement that would dismiss the company's lawsuit against Michigan state that prevented Tesla from selling directly to consumers through company-owned stores as well as from opening service centers.

The settlement on Wednesday will allow Tesla to sell its vehicles to Michigan customers "as long as the sales contract indicates the sale took place in a state other than Michigan," the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's office said in a statement.

The attorney general's office said Tesla can also indirectly own service-and-repair facilities in Michigan through a subsidiary, Tesla Michigan.
