Absurd. Completely beyond any reasonable interpretation.

In January, visitors to a Tesla showroom check out the Model S at the
the
Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, Calif. Earlier this month, the
company opened a pop-up shop in a walkway at The Shops at La Cantera —
a
stopgap in its long struggle to establish a foothold in San Antonio

Tesla Motors Inc. has opened a temporary shop in a walkway at The Shops
at
La Cantera amid its struggles to build its first showroom in San
Antonio.
The one-vehicle display, outside a Pottery Barn, is staffed by a single
employee hired by Tesla, said Dustin Christensen, La Cantera’s
marketing
manager.
Visitors can test-drive Tesla’s Model S at the temporary store, which
opened
earlier this month, according to the company’s website.
Tesla, a Silicon Valley company that manufactures and sells electric
vehicles and batteries, has hit several potholes in its effort to grow
in
Texas, especially in San Antonio.
State law prohibits the company from selling vehicles directly to
customers.
In its showrooms, customers can check out the cars, but they have to
buy
them online or out of state. Still, it has built four stores in Texas:
one
in Austin, one in Dallas and two in Houston.
In July, Tesla submitted plans to the city for a showroom and service
center
along Interstate 10 near Shops at La Cantera. The city zoning
commission
denied approval, citing concerns that the water supply could be
contaminated
by electric car batteries.
Later, Tesla pulled its proposal from consideration by City Council so
that
it could work out details of the land purchase with the current
property
owner, District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg told the Express-News in
September.
