Just got this email from Tesla, didn't even realize this was going down. I already sent an email to my representative, and I'll definitely be calling until I get an answer. We are going to need that service center when the Model 3 comes out, so if you're a Louisiana resident and didn't get the email, contact your representative.
At Tesla, we have a mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy and our customers are central to our success. We’re glad that you’ve chosen to drive a Tesla and take an active part in reducing carbon emissions. And to further our progress, we are looking forward to opening a new service center in New Orleans and expanding our operation in Louisiana.
Unfortunately, the Louisiana House of Representatives just passed HB167, which would prevent Tesla from opening this planned service center, as well as any future locations. If HB 167 passes, Tesla owners in Louisiana like you will be prohibited from having their vehicle serviced locally.
This bill, which would kill millions in potential investments in the state, now moves to consideration in the Senate.
Urgent action is needed.
Use our tool to contact your state senator and ask them to oppose HB 167 unless it is amended to allow a manufacturer like Tesla to service vehicles in the state.
