and the tesla cars are made in california. beral regulation, heavy state of california actually allows tesla to do business any way it wants to. so tesla has show rooms in california where they can sell cars directly to consumers. the manufacturers, selling directly through their own show rooms. and you can also order a tesla on line in california. but in rick perry's texas, automobile sales are much, much more regulated by the government. because the automobile dealerships demand it. so that they can maintain their monopolies over the sale of new cars. in texas, new cars can only be sold by automobile dealership and never directly by the manufacturer. so tesla has show rooms in texas, which they call galleries, because texas law prevents tesla from selling cars to their manufacturers in their show rooms. but about 700 texans have done that, and tesla is committed to supporting its customers in texas. the company is building super charger stations throughout texas, so owners can plug in free of charge along several of texas's m

not only does tesla show no signs of slowing down, of course we got to find the next tesla. ing into that fabled quarterly report we heard three things. boy did we ever hear them, those of us who are in the flow, so to speak. first, hey, tesla was going to lose a fortune. because it had cost them way too much to make the cars and there were supply chain problems that could not be fixed. which could cause losses to increase dramatically on a go forward basis. second rumor, there was no real demand for the cars. none whatsoever. in fact, whatever demand they had is pretty much from slight of hand as customers can't afford the model without charging stations being all over the place. in fact, you heard they were using reservations, not actually car sales. thus the numbers were phony. third we were told tesla was going to need a boat load of financing. if you were short the stock you could couple -- in order to stay in business. believe me, they might not stay in business. mind you, these three negatives were pretty much etched in stone. they were common parlance among those who
