As of Oct 2018.

>Where Tesla is banned

>Here are those states: Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Texas.

>Then there are nine states that limit the number of dealerships Tesla can open: Colorado (limit: one), North Carolina (one), Virginia (two), Georgia (five), Maryland (four), New Jersey (four), New York (five), Ohio (three), Pennsylvania (five).

If my count is correct, that's a full half of states in total. And the states in the second group are all large enough that it's a meaningful limit to be only allowed a handful. For comparison, there are 7 Toyota dealerships just between the Denver and Boulder Colorado areas (using their "find a dealer" tool makes it hard to be more thorough than that).

In Colorado there is no limit as of 2020 for Tesla. Any EV-only manufacture is allowed to direct sell in CO.

I'm guessing the Texas situation might change given how much Tesla and SpaceX are investing in Texas right now.

North and South Dakota have big reservations.
