"The real quagmire of unintended consequences here seems to be

dealership jobs."
Tesla going direct to consumer in most states is really only a matter of time. Assuming this is true, that eventually dealers are going to go the way of the dodo. And if that is the case, wouldn't if be best to bet on 6500 jobs that are likely to stick around in the future and keep bringing in revenue for the state, than let another state get that factory and one day you have neither the dealership jobs or the factory jobs in your state. Plus, it's not like those dealership jobs are going to disappear overnight.
