Is there any reasonable reason behind it?

To protect dealerships and the people that work in them is the claim.

Basically this.



BUT it was also passed in many states to outlaw Tesla, the electric car company.

Sounds stupid. It's mostly expansive western states too, so I guess I see why but it still sounds stupid.

Yes.  It was ridiculously protectionist even before states started passing it to head off Tesla making inroads (no pun intended) into the automobile market, and states that have passed laws post-Tesla are even worse.
