    Could it possibly have to do with the strange 'Dealership Laws" in Texas that might not allow them to give test drives without having a dealership and location?

    Though I'm not sure if the fact that Nissan does have dealers in that state makes a diff

    A bit OT

    This is a bit OT, but if Texas laws require us to 'buy' the car in California, what does that mean for sales tax, tax waivers, rebates, etc. I don't know the California incentives nor do I know how they imapct our TX sales.

    The North American continent has 49 federal U.S. states and ten provinces and three territories in Canada. It is obvious that a tour with 11 locations cannot come to all of them but I hear Texans only calling it out - TM forum, TMC, blog comment section, everywhere

    Well they are spoiled with a store in Houston. Us in Atlanta are used to getting nothing.

    ElSupreme,

    Yep, it gets lonely here in the real LA - at least when it comes to getting Tesla love. Louisiana is probably third to TX & OK as oil states. At least I'll have probably the most unique car in the state for awhile, 'til the word gets out!

    You pay Texas sales tax and would take Texas EV incentives (there are none of course).

    It appears as if you purchase the car in Florida. At least that's what the reservation agreement says.

    Looks like Dallas is at least being thought of next year with a store of its own...
