Say what you will about corporate-backed voter initiatives, but I’m glad that #Rivian is supporting a ballot initiative in Washington to allow for direct sales by car manufacturers to consumers. #Tesla is the only company allowed to do this in #WA; Rivian and #Lucid can’t sell an #EV directly from their showrooms or offer test drives.

Cars and trucks have gotten really expensive since the COVID pandemic. The California State Legislature is about to make buying a car even more costly. There's a bill, SB 791, that will allow car dealers to charge up to $350 in doc fees (currently $85 max). It's a cash grab by car dealers.

My wife was advised to start looking for her next #motability car much earlier than usual - so we've been to visit 4 car dealers in #leicester today.

Three of the four had no disabled parking places available for their customers.
Vauxhall & MG had cones preventing access to the disabled spaces.
Renault had no parking spaces for anyone - the only obvious disabled space had a demonstrator car parked in it.
Hyundai passed the test (and were extremely welcoming & helpful).

I think this shows how they view not only their disabled customers, but all customers.
It's a disgrace.

More next week.
