Good Luck,

It's definitely an uphill battle but I applaud the effort. I'll be happy to sign it and will try and get as many people as I know to sign it.

Good to see this. I plan to pitch in as well.

@timf: thanks for the link ... I just requested some petition forms

And in an odd twist, Tesla Motors applied for a dealership license . This article mentions the details (which links to this article) and also mentions the owner rally/protest last year. I'd love to see the Michigan Tesla Owners get together, maybe even drive cargo loads full of water bottles to Flint, MI or some other public, visible stunt that shows a commitment to residents.

Well.... with the anti-Tesla governor... who may be soon be meeting some new friends in an incarceration facility... maybe the replacement will see the light, and lots and lots of American workers that really really want to work in the motor city but can't find work... can find work... and help keep this American icon of worlds best vehicle company at the forefront of engineering. I'm not seeing the demand for the Model 3 being fulfilled out of Freemont... so much talent is being wasted out there. So many buildings crumbling into ruins... that could instead be showing how a proper car (or SUV, truck, whatever) is made.

The tool shop in Grand Rapids was an interesting hint... I hope for all of our sakes, we can take some of that talent and bring it to EVs, and most notably, my beloved TSLA...

All this reminds me of Henry Ford fighting and beating Selden's lock on the automobile industry. The current fight is another Selden struggle. Michigan, you can win again.
