We Are Cognitive Dissidents
Texas Auto Dealership owner* rode in the front passenger seat, as one of an Uber party of three (Whiskey Festival. Lots of drop-offs and pick-ups there, LOL) this weekend.
I first gave him a warm handshake. He had several very astute questions, a notch above the usual ones so he had already done his homework about range, charge time, etc.
The ride was long enough for them to get a good experience of the Nav, acceleration, cornering... and he admitted to being "very impressed."
As to the Texas laws and general auto-industry attitude towards TM, I kept my statements to the context of "opportunities" that the rest of the industry has at this exciting, change-charged moment in history.
Rear passenger (the Uber was on her dime) stated the irony of her hailing from California yet not yet ridden in a Tesla until visiting Houston, Texas.
LOL again.
*Geez, I wish now I'd asked his name. From his maturity, I'd guesstimate he owns at least 4-5 established dealerships... and that's probably underguesstimating, given the trend toward Car Dynasties here.
