As new legislative sessions begin to ramp up in states across the country, Tesla is pushing to make its direct-sales business model legal in states it’s still restricted.
There are seven states that currently ban Tesla’s business model or restrict its number of stores and service centers that could soon change their laws.
TMC Member Pluto went through all the states where Tesla has restrictions and the and found the following bills introduced:
- Connecticut – HB 5285
- Nebraska – LB 51
- New Mexico – SB 243
- Oklahoma – SB 790
- South Carolina – S 379
- West Virginia – HB 2219
Pluto noted: “Many states seemed to not have started their legislative sessions or introduced all their bills yet so I’ll have to check for more later. Interestingly, Texas appears to be almost done introducing bills and I found nothing there.”
