Is a single state law about to hand Chinese automakers the ultimate loophole?

Tomorrow morning on the Automotive State of the Union podcast, we're joined by special guest John Bozzella, President and CEO of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation. 

We’re diving deep into John's new Automotive News op-ed to unpack the legislative maneuvers happening in Washington State right now. John breaks down how this sets a precedent with massive national implications, potentially creating a blueprint for Chinese EV giants to enter the U.S. market, sell directly to consumers, and completely bypass the traditional franchise dealership model.

We'll get into the specifics of the loophole, what it means for the future of auto retail, and what the industry needs to be watching out for next. 

If you are a dealer, an OEM, or anyone invested in the automotive space, the rules of the game are shifting fast, and you cannot afford to ignore this.

Listen to the episode tomorrow at 9:15 AM EST wherever you get your podcasts.
