I am a small bit hopeful, but not too, given that what, only six maybe seven people upvoted (and one person effing downvoted) my submission in this thread the other day, that someone will ask a meaningful question regarding the status, 2016/2017 strategy, and prospects regarding Tesla's fight against the states that currently ban or partially ban Tesla from sales and/or service.
No disrespect, but Californians, who bask in the neon glow of umpteen-gazillion superchargers, Tesla stores, and service centers from one end of the state to the other, are the probably the worst people to decide whether such a question is put before Elon Musk today. And yet I fear it is Californians -- who don't know what it is like to live in a state that flat-out bans Tesla and how that means a customer has no recourse but to have to schedule, far in advance, a Tesla Ranger to drive 8-12 hours from the Tesla service center in another state already beleaguered by its own customer demand, load the car on a flat-bed trailer, and drive 8-12 hours back to the service center, just to get service -- Californians who are going to decide what is cool and hip to ask the CEO and Chairman of the Board today.
I hope I am wrong, I really do. After last year's debacle of fan-boy questions, I really am not in the mood to hear "when will Model Y come out" and "will Model 3 have a HUD" questions today when there are customers (many of whom are SHAREHOLDERS and many of whom have also ordered Model 3) who deal with the hassle of corrupt state legislatures and stupid anti-competitive laws every single day, and need RESOLUTION to this longstanding issue especially before the onslaught of the accelerated Model 3 roll-out.
