Something radical, for instance turning down the most aggressive tax break on the basis that it's not the right thing to do for the State they would be occupying.<br /><br />They could do so not only because the image of Tesla is as important as the technology, but also because it is the right thing to do... much like how they might argue that EV's in the long run are the right thing to do, despite the short-term high price tag.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03350790738181743539noreply@blogger.com
