Eh, he just needs to touch up his PR when it comes to labor relations. > Do you know that Texas where Tesla is building its next factory does not allow to sell Teslas? You think you can't buy a Tesla in Texas? What planet are you on?

  Yes, Texas does not allow direct sale of cars. You have to buy your Tesla out of the state and Tesla will deliver the car to Texas. https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/texas-law-keeps-teslas-made-in-the-state-from-being-sold-directly-to-texans https://cbsaustin.com/news/local/texas-law-keeps-teslas-made... https://insideevs.com/news/510302/tesla-no-sales-allowed-texas/ https://insideevs.com/news/510302/tesla-no-sales-allowed-tex... Biden administration is explicitly designing laws to prop up other car companies and exclude Tesla. It's not just about labor PR, they want to force Tesla to unionize. But Tesla will not unionize and they will be the only ones without subsidies. Extremely shitty lobbing. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/29/energy-secretary-defends-tesla-ev-tax-credit-exclusion.html https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/29/energy-secretary-defends-tes...

  > What planet are you on? Uhh, Texas? You cannot buy a Tesla in Texas. Technically speaking, the transaction happens out of state and the car is shipped to you in Texas. Legally speaking Tesla has never sold a car in Texas. They have Tesla "galleries" where you can look at cars, take test drives, customize your order, and they'll help with the paperwork for you to buy it out of state. I don't think Texas is alone in their dealer franchise laws.
