About this episode

The episode discusses the legal challenges faced by automakers like Rivian in selling cars directly to consumers, focusing on Ohio's laws.

Automakers like Rivian are challenging state laws that block them from selling cars directly to buyers, and the legal stakes are bigger than they look. We, joined by our friend Burt Davdison from Diehl Automotive, break down why Ohio is at the center of the fight and what it could mean for the future of car buying.
