Tesla Still Doesn’t Have Dealers In These 11 States.
There are 11 states where people can’t attack or protest nearby. Most are large states geographically but with small populations or are poor based on household income. In the states with small populations and covering a huge number of square miles, it would also be almost impossible to have charging stations close enough to one another to be practical.
These are the states: Arkansas, South Dakota, Alabama, Nebraska, West Virginia, Wyoming, Alaska, Kansas, Maine, Montana, and North Dakota.
States With Few People
Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota are all among the largest states based on square miles. Wyoming has the lowest population, and Alaska is third from the bottom. North Dakota and South Dakota follow it. Montana ranks 44th. Maine is 43rd in population,
West Virginia is the second poorest state based on median income. Arkansas ranks third from the bottom. Alabama ranks 44th.
The patterns make sense. A Tesla’s average range is less than 300 miles. It is 391 miles from Fargo, North Dakota, to Williston. The odds of a public charging station between the two cities are nearly zero.
A plan to build charging stations across the country was killed under the new administration. Without charging stations, there is little reason to have dealerships.
