Rivian is suing the State of Ohio due to a 2014 ban on direct-to-consumer car sales, which prevents Rivian from selling its vehicles directly. This ban is alleged to be unfair as Tesla was granted a special exemption in the same year, allowing it to operate a limited number of direct stores. Rivian does not have any showrooms in Ohio, forcing potential customers to complete purchases out-of-state, which complicates the buying process. Rivian claims this situation creates hardship for both consumers in Ohio and the company itself due to logistical challenges.
Rivian has filed a lawsuit claiming that Ohio's ban on direct-to-consumer stores is unfair and anti-consumer, especially since Tesla has a special carveout.
Rivian currently has no brick-and-mortar showroom in Ohio, and local customers must complete purchases out-of-state, causing logistical challenges.
