Here in Texas, the convoluted Tesla sales process requires one to effectively give Tesla credit in the sense that you must fork over full payment to complete the purchase in California (for legal reasons) before Tesla ships the car.
You are fighting an uphill battle in Texas trying to own a Tesla. Big oil lobbies don’t want Tesla around because the cars don’t use their oil. And the car dealership lobbies don’t want Tesla around because Tesla sells direct. Until your state votes the current politicians out of office and changes the laws preventing Tesla from selling direct to consumers it’s going to be a less than ideal experience to purchase and drive a Tesla. While these laws protect the oil industry and the dealership, they do nothing to protect the consumer.
