From Florida to Texas, contractions abound in the law this week, and it seems some politicians are playing mental gymnastics to square their EV circles.

Also on the podcast this week is more NACS news as Rivian adopts Tesla’s charging plug, car dealers party like it’s 1999, and Musk invites Toyota to join the party.
