#1 A message, loud and clear.
But is anyone in Sacramento listening?

#2 The state assembly doesn't care.

They've gerrymandered the state so no incumbent has to worry and they pass more crazy crap legislation per minute than the UN.

#3 They are too busy banning body armor to care.

#4 The wife's cousin (wealthy side of the family) bought her husband one of these Teslas. They are pricey ($140K) and the range before re-charging is required is not very good. The styling is nice. There is a huge display on the dash with great mapping/navigation capability. If you are a pedestrian, they suck. You can't hear them. You don't have a running chance. Hybrids make more sense at this stage of battery development. Why Nevada rather than Texas, New Mexico, or Arizona? Politics?
