Why Michigan lawmakers are against Rivian

Questions covered:

1. Can you sum up this house bill?
2. My first question here, and I’m sure everyone else’s, is WHY? Obviously it has to involve protection and fear and money/power/politics. And so I don’t want to put you in a tough spot. But can you just lay the truth out there for us in words that a 4th grader could understand?
3. Okay so this bill passed the House as we’ve already mentioned (by a big margin I might add, 65-39). What stage are we in the process as far as Senate intervention?
4. What do MI residents need to do to fight this? Answer: Call your senator and speak up. You can find your senators here: https://www.senate.michigan.gov/fysbyaddress.html. If you want to buy a Rivian and have it serviced in Michigan you need to tell them that you do not want this bill to pass! Tesla owners, please speak out against this too!
5. Is there anything non-MI residents need to be aware of? Anything we can do to pitch in? Anything else you want to say in general?

My fav quote (from Laycee)  that seems to sum up the entire situation:

“Residents of MI who want to buy the SAFEST and MOST ADVANCED autos should not be forced into leaving the state for sales and service. Customers should have a choice. If people prefer the franchise model, they WILL continue visiting franchise dealerships. Preventing healthy competition and the ability to choose the direct model is a MASSIVE disservice to each of your constituents.”
