Washington opens Tesla’s direct EV sales loophole to Rivian and Lucid
Washington state legislators just voted overwhelmingly to allow Rivian and Lucid to sell electric vehicles directly to consumers, ending a 12-year arrangement that gave Tesla exclusive access to direct sales in the state.
Senate Bill 6354 passed the House 84-9 and the Senate 47-2 — a bipartisan blowout that now heads to Governor Bob Ferguson’s desk for signature.
