If you live in NC and want a Rivian please call your state Congress representative & Senator.
I spoke this week my with Representative who did some research on Rivian’s ability to direct sell in NC. Below is some information he shared with me.
“I just finished speaking with the lobbyists that represent Rivian and they informed me that the current laws include language that’s specific for Tesla. Rivian is a recent client of theirs, so they are still analyzing what specifically is in their business model that goes against the current dealer laws in North Carolina. The company is authorized for online sales; however, for vehicle pick up and servicing it seems that it would require the buyers that reside in states not authorized for direct sales to travel to a state where they are authorized to sell. With all of that being said, it would take a change in legislation to ensure that this does not occur.”
