Bud Cox is who I spoke with today, personally. We, TSLaA owners, are not legal. He is awaiting a ruling from his legal dept. after issuing the caveat that he is not an attorney, which we all understand. Bottom line, is you can tell it to a judge after you deal with the trooper, who is factually accurate, then get a judge to say well you did your best. Or, you can recognize that Tesla is not meeting VA standards and you can spend time and money pretending otherwise.
Virginians, let us not blame the state, which is open to plenty of blame in any areas. Fact is, as part of the start up, one size fits all mentality, Tesla has the VA registration and the CA registration wrong. Let's just work to fix that. Driving is the goal. The problem is for Tesla to learn to communicate and understand laws outside of CA. Thoroughly enjoy today's conversation with Bud Cox. He, like I, are looking to facilitate much better dialogue between TSLA DMV Relations and the state's actual DMV. As Bud suggested in our great conversation, this is a time for the company and the state to find ways to work together. It is not US and THEM. TSLA is really a startup with this model. Can't we all help pave the way?
