Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe pointed to a "horrific state-by-state level of rules"Dealers' lobbying efforts have made it hard for Rivian to interact directly with customersRivian's aware it has a service backlog, views it as a short-term problemRivian CEO RJ Scaringe isn't a fan of U.S. dealership franchise laws. The CEO was referring to franchise laws for car dealers, which are widely protected by heavy lobbying efforts. Rivian's CEO then noted with an upbeat smile that "Europe doesn't have the same rules," and "there's certainly opportunities there." In Europe, Scaringe said there's a question whether Rivian partners with someone for service. But in America, with the franchise laws, the possibility of Rivian partnering with anyone else for service would be complicated.
