If you live in Michigan and are planning on getting a Rivian, this could be big for you. There is a bill in the Michigan legislature (House Bill 6233) that would prevent any new auto manufacturer — a company that does not already have an establishment in Michigan — to come in, set one up, and do business.

This is big for not only Rivian but future EV companies that want to sell in Michigan.

Here's the link to the bill.

Ugh.... why do they keep pushing this.

I believe you still can't buy a Tesla in Michigan. Is this true?

You can technically buy a Tesla in Michigan. They created a loophole where the vehicle is registered in another state. Michigan is looking to close this loophole

The three big need to put a stop to this, and Michigan gov needs to be overturned for taking bribs under the table from them.

Amen, this narrow minded thinking needs to end. Let GM, Ford, and FCA's EVs speak for themselves rather than protecting them like this.
