Calling Tesla owners in California who considered getting a fuel-cell vehicle

Do you live in California and did you consider getting a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle (FCV) before opting for a Tesla? If so, we'd love to interview you by phone.

We are a team of geographers and ethnographers studying how people decide whether or not to get a FCV. We’re especially interested in speaking with those who actually considered purchasing or leasing an FCV but decided AGAINST doing so.

To be perfectly clear, we can only use comments obtained in a one-on-one interview, which take about 20 minutes and can be conducted by phone, Skype, Facetime, or Google Hangouts. No need to reply to this post with your reasons, because we can't use that as data, unfortunately. Also, we have to rely on our participants to judge whether they actually ever seriously considered getting a fuel-cell vehicle. We are looking to interview people who actually went through this decision-making process, not people who simply have a pro or con position on it.

Participants will receive a $10 Amazon gift card as a small token of appreciation. Your participation in this study is voluntary. The information you provide will remain confidential and be used for research purposes only. If you are over 18 years of age and interested in participating, please contact me at [email protected] to schedule an interview.
