This recently posted petition (below) is not to be confused with: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Petition-White-House-to-sell-EVs-directly-in-Texas-td4662586.html#a4662588 from Apr 22, 2013 which was just for allowing Tesla's to be sold in Texas. I have signed the petition below and encourage everyone to also sign. It can only improve the selling of plugins, thus is for the betterment of the public to allow the public to by-pass the old-school dealerships (if needed), allowing the public to obtain what they want (Democracy in action). . ____ ~/__|o\__ '@----- @'---(= Get Amp'd Bruce {EVangel} Parmenter Electric Vehicle List News brucedp.150m.com *Originator of the above ASCII art % Renewable Energy for your Electric Vehicle % (Near Silicon Valley, south of SF, CA USA) - [ref http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Re-negative-contactor-heating-up-and-BMS-analogue-control-tp4663897p4663917.html ] Re: [EVDL] dealer network and selling EV's On Fri, Jun 28, 2013, at 08:29 AM, Rod Hower wrote: > There are several states trying to prevent Tesla from selling online > without a dealer network. > Here's a petition to allow Tesla to enter those markets > https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-tesla-motors-sell-directly-consumers-all-50-states/bFN7NHQR - - On Fri, Jun 28, 2013, at 03:45 PM, L.
