This is the single dumbest thing Musk could do. A big F to the state that has promoted him to where he is, that contains the vast majority of his fan and customer base. All to save some taxes.
I used to promote Tesla to friends. That’s certainly over.

- gleenn 5y agoIf you think subtle signaling based on being able to have a dealership is more important than the huge tax implications, production line materials, and labor costs, you are mistaken on how mega corps are run. Follow the money. Tesla hasn't cared about dealerships ever.
- kodah 5y agoTheoretically, by being in Texas they could make a strong case to lobby the legislature to change that. I believe this sort of thing was fought by Michael Dell as well, since these laws don't just affect cars. It's also good to remember that that law was put in place because people would buy cars and there was nowhere to service them. Much of Texas is still rural to some degree.
