If you have been in manufacturing, you will know that building 2 differently spec'ed cars is much more expensive than have an assembly line with a same spec'ed car. And California has a large population to be a lucrative market. In essence, that means that car manufacturers have to build to California's emission standards and distribute the costs to all users (even those who aren't in California).
- pmichaud 8y agoI get it, but it's just not my problem. If they want to figure out how to do 2 lines cheaper or whatever, that's up to them or the competitor that puts them out of business. I think what they actually do (just keep it standard) makes sense and I'd probably do the same, but on principle it's not our problem how they choose to comply with relevant laws.

- product50 8y agoI am with you on this. I was just trying explain how 1 state's decision can impact other states' too.
