A Tesla fan-created petition asking the government to allow the American automaker to sell directly to consumers has reached the necessary 100,000 signatures to get the White House to take a look.
The petition, created on June 5, 2013, had one month to reach 100,000 signatures and this past weekend, Tesla sent an email out to its owners and fans requesting for more signatures. It paid off, as an official response from the White House should be coming in the near future now that the petition has reached its goal.
