It's just to protect dealers.   Many states have dealers that insist on
protection.  Dealers make a lot of money being the only source for the
purchase of a new car and they hope to also be the only source for
service.  They do not want a change in their business model.  It's not
Tesla per se that they are unhappy with.  They're unhappy that if this is
accepted, then their business is essentially moot.

Fine by me.  I've never understood what dealerships do except for inserting
an unpleasant person between me and something I want.  I'd buy my car
though Amazon if I could and pay extra just to avoid the unpleasant person.
