Tesla won’t sell to franchise and only deals factory direct. Texas only allows franchise and not manufacture direct. The Texas Dealers Lobby spends a LOT of money to keep this in place to keep the manufactures beholden to them for sells.
So the irony here is even if the truck is made in Texas you have to go out of state to buy one.

Re: Tesla picks Austinfornia for new plant.
The irony is you will still have to buy out of state due to the dealership requirements in Texas and the dealership franchise lobby.
