So they arranged for a bill to quietly be introduced in both houses of the state legislature and voted on at 2 am in the morning that banned Tesla from selling, repairing or delivering vehicles in the state of Michigan. This was greeted with a firestorm of opposition once Michigan's citizens found out.
At the time it wasn't likely that they'd sell many cars in the state but people were mad at the attempt to stifle competition and the feeling that it wasn't playing fair the way this was passed without public debate.
So if you want to buy a Tesla in Michigan you have to buy and pick up your car from Cleveland. If it's serviced you have to arrange to have it towed to Cleveland. As a result you don't see many Tesla's in the state and until recently few charging stations.
