Aside from other issues, setting up Tesla’s new global headquarters in Texas was always weird since Texas has always had anti-Tesla laws in place that prevent easy, convenient in-store sales for Tesla buyers. Sure, you can buy online and have a Tesla shipped to Texas, but you can’t go into a Tesla store, test drive a car, and buy one there.
If you look through the eligibility requirements, it’s not immediately clear why Tesla vehicles aren’t included. There’s no “Thou shalt not be a Tesla” clause and there is no exclusion for vehicles that includein the infotainment system. Nope, but there is this line: “Only vehicles offered for sale or lease in Texas are eligible for this rebate grant.
GovAbbott GregAbbott_TX texasgov it's a complete shame after tesla having its biggest headquarters ever built in Texas and after tesla & oracle 2 great techno leaders choosing texas as their home Texas rewarded Tesla by excluding it from EV rebates.
This policy screams to the world: 'Corporate America owns the legislature ! ' It's an absolute embarrassment to the USA. If dealerships were actually providing value to consumers, then they would have every reason to survive without the protection of these ridiculous laws.

'Texas ... is a corrupt state ... with all manner of ... anti-freedom, anti-democracy policies ... and Elon Musk seems far too naive and misinformed politically to ... get Texas to allow Tesla sales in the state before committing to building Tesla’s biggest factory in the world.'
Wait. I thought Texas was a business friendly state and didn’t have red tape laws to protect markets from being disrupted. Would California exclude Tesla?
Giga Texas is in Texas, because: - less regulations (in Cal: even not approved yet) - central US location - excellent workforce - still affordable living - convince die hard oil Texans - Cybertruck in Texas it is NOT about INCENTIVES at all a superior product sells without
The Texas situation is ridiculous but worth noting that all Tesla vehicles are also currently ineligible for the California EV rebate due to low price caps👇
Poor negotiations by Tesla pre the commitment to establish a plant there? Bit of a slap in the face to the States that have nurtured Tesla by rewarding a State that ignores them.
