You're assuming Mass is important enough to be worth it. I'd guess it's more likely that Mass is the one that is forced to blink first.

It's a good assumption. Massachusetts is part of the Northeast Megalopolis[0] (part of the reason Acela makes economic sense in this area), and almost 25% of the most populous cities comprising that area are in Massachusetts. I don't think the automakers would be quite so willing to sacrifice all those customers.
