This really is excellent news for all of us in Mass.

That is huge news!!!! Congratulations!!! I'm now very interested in demos.

Could you elaborate on "which is slightly above what Tesla offered when you include the tax advantage."? Is there a tax advantage to trading in, or because it's going to a different state, etc?

They said we'd have to contact local politicians to get anything changed. I can't imagine that going anywhere, especially if we're asking them to change the rules so one specific auto manufacturer can make more money.
