Unfortunately, troll behaviour or not, that's how SF companies behave in the real world. The usability of their products tend to be proportional to how close you are (physically or otherwise) to the bay area. I live in Calgary and I would be very surprised (and happy) if I see self-driving cars here before the end of the century.
Is this like not being invited to a party you didn't want to go to? Okay, then, maybe Tesla's snow driving test will give you the chance to ostentatiously decline.
