Got a letter from Rivian saying:
"Currently, Washington state laws limit access to electric vehicles by preventing new automakers, like Rivian, from opening local retail sites. We need your help to change that.
Rivian is supporting a bill in the Washington legislature, HB 1388, that would allow all electric vehicle manufacturers to obtain a state dealer license directly. The adoption of HB 1388 would allow Rivian to open retail sites and sell vehicles directly to our community. If HB 1388 doesn't pass, our community members will be forced to purchase online or travel to another state."
If you live in WA State and want your Rivian delivered locally and have a sales representation here, just like Tesla has, please go online and follow this steps!
