Do you have a reference to the specific law? While dealerships are affected by a large number of federal regulations (fair credit reporting act, certain used car regulations, and others) I am not aware of anything on the books at a federal level regarding structure of dealerships.

Look at the wording of the petition itself: "States should not be allowed to prevent Tesla Motors from selling cars directly to customer"

That doesn't sound like a federal issue to me.

Security.

Are you 100% sure that there is nothing you are exposing via your git repo that you want to keep away from the person who manages to hack your server or discover some means to reach the repo externally?

Getting hacked is not inevitable, but if you treat your systems as if it were you'll be a lot safer if it does ever occur.
