Would it be any different than how it is currently? I think it really could just reduce transportation cost I suppose?

  Not really? They still have to ship them out of Texas to another state that will allow them to sell directly. Then customers will have to drive back to Texas.

    That seems like the kind of thing Texas might change if Tesla does actually move production there in a major way.

      Not likely. Crony capitalism that helps the major car dealership owners but limits economic progress For all. Collectively, these owners will likely donate far more to political campaigns to keep the rules in place than Musk can.

        From my experience Texas is all about Texas and there are few states they love to shit on more than California. Are you telling me that if they bring a plant into Texas and start churning out cars with 'Made In Texas' on every one of them, that there isn't going to be a mutiny on whatever bullshit economic contraption was used to rationalize not directly selling products Made In California? You might be right, who knows, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Reminds me of the fact that Jack Daniels is produced in a dry county.

    At least the FSD cars can drive themselves out of state, await paperwork, then drive themselves to customers.

    Is that how it works now? I see tons of Teslas here in Texas and I cant imagine that is the process for everyone that owns one.
