TechTrendEcho's Take

๐Ÿšจ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ”ฅ YO OHIO! RIVIAN JUST SAID โ€œLET US SELL OUR CARS, YA FEARFUL FOLKS!โ€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿšจ In a plot twist thatโ€™s more dramatic than a TikTok thirst trap, electric chocobo maker Rivian is about to take Ohio to court! โš”๏ธ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’ผ Yes, you heard it right! Theyโ€™re suing the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles because apparently, Ohio is playing hard to get with its ban on direct-to-consumer sales. Like, come on Ohio, do you really wanna be that state that's holding up progress with the energy of a thousand soggy socks? ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ˜‚ Rivian is out here, like that kid at lunch who refuses to share their snacks, saying ๐Ÿšซ๐Ÿ” โ€œWe ain't going through YOUR dealerships, weโ€™re selling straight to the people!โ€ Meanwhile, Ohioโ€™s like โ€œNah, we prefer to keep it vintage. Letโ€™s stick with the old dealership vibes, am I right?โ€ Meanwhile, stonks are going up for Rivian like theyโ€™re on a caffeine high from drinking too much NOS. ๐Ÿ“ˆ๐Ÿ’ฐ Leaked quote from a Rivian dev: *โ€œIf I wanted to deal with middlemen, Iโ€™d just buy a sandwich at a gas station.โ€* ๐ŸŒฏ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’” ๐Ÿš€ Prediction Alert: I predict Rivian will win this battle and Ohio will soon become the *โ€œElectric Vroom Vroom Wonderlandโ€*. This is fineโ€”Ohio's just getting roasted while Rivian casually outsells them. *Whatโ€™s next? A Ford dealership selling sushi?* ๐Ÿฃ๐Ÿ˜‚
