"New Jersey's governor Christie has decided that all new motor vehicles must be sold through middlemen. This blocks Tesla from directly selling cars, without traditional car sellers. Although, New Jersey decided so this week, they are in good company: 48 states in the US ban or restrict direct car sales."

Besides all that, we should remember that we are all really just freeloaders; freeloaders who contribute story suggestions and relatively interesting comments, perhaps, but still mostly freeloaders. We've contributed no money, so we have no actual right to demand anything, not even transparency.
Now since this is intended to be a community site and project, etc, it would be good if the powers that be were transparent--and I think they have been. But we should still remember that we have no right to demand anything.
The Web is like a series of fiefdoms. Each lord allows us peasants to play in his yard. If he doesn't like us, he can banish us. If we don't like him, we can take our ball and go elsewhere. The good part is that there are effectively an unlimited number of fiefdoms. The bad part is that getting people to play in yours isn't easy.
And then there's the human nature part: absolute power corrupts, people take free stuff for granted, etc.
