Automobiles are the only category of product where a formal right to repair exists in the U.S., thanks to a law passed in 2012 by voters in Massachusetts. But that right is under threat (https://fighttorepair.substack.com/p/how-we-lose-the-right-to-repair-our). After voters in Massachusetts expanded a 2012 law in November 2020 to include access to telematics data, automakers challenged the law in federal court. That has prevented its implementation for more than two years. A decision in that case is expected soon (https://fighttorepair.substack.com/p/court-decision-looms-on-auto-right). In the meantime, manufacturers like Tesla are increasingly using access to software and administrative features to stymie owner and independent repair and servicing of their vehicles and establishing de-facto monopolies on parts and maintenance (https://fighttorepair.substack.com/p/heavy-load-is-tesla-using-software). Where do things go from here? We invited three people who are on the front lines of the fight to repair your car. They are: * Catherine Boland, VP, Legislative Affairs for the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (https://www.mema.org/)* Justin Rzepka, Executive Director, CAR Coalition (https://carcoalition.com/)* Michael “Mike” O’Neal, President, Diamond Standard Parts (https://diamondstandardparts.com/)
