Tesla Dealer Battles, the State-by-State Score So Far

Quick quiz: You want to buy a shiny new, ultra-safe, über-fast Tesla Model S, but you live in Wisconsin. Are you allowed to wander into a Tesla dealer (sorry, “store”) and place an order? Is there a Tesla service center in Wisconsin? Are the things even legal?

Tesla continues to fight the established car dealership business model in order to sell its Model S (and upcoming Model X and Model E) to consmuers who want something different. Still, with all the back-stabbing, Koch-sucking, and downright insanity clouding the issue these days, it can be hard to really tell who’s winning.

That’s where this handy-dandy, state-by-state infographic comes in. You can see how Tesla and Elon Musk are doing …

… and draw what conclusions about the Tesla Dealer war along whichever North/South, Demorat/Republitard, commie/fascist battle lines you want from the data provided you like. Just do us a favor and share said conclusions in the comments section, below. Enjoy!

      Yup. Wisconsin is surprising, since that Eddie Munster kid was their guy, no?

        I suppose there are some states where NADA has even the democratic state governments in their pocket. They’ll all break. Eventually.

          Oh, 100% The Demorats are, often, only marginally better (if at all) than the Republitards.

            Two slaves of the same master, the majority of the time.

    What is so fascinating to me about this entire controversy is how blatantly hypocritical Republicans are on this issue. The Republicans profess to being pro-business, pro-free market and anti-regulation and with this issue they are taking a stand exactly opposite.
