I'm not sure how you could misconstrue legislation for rumors...

  Awesome, you managed to reply to my comment and yet not post a single link to the 5-6 comments calling you out for not providing a source. Edit: I've found your link. It taxes gasoline cars older than 2006 (so 18+ years old) and diesel cars older than 2018 (so 6 years old). Which is super fair since those emit a ton of particulates, why should drivers be able to poison local residents for free? There's no mention of an outright ban for ICE cars.

      My original comment was the state mandates/tax legislation maybe significant contribute to sales.

      Have you read the entire context behind this? Some of the biggest proponents of this are... VW, BMW, etc.

    > It taxes gasoline cars older than 2006 (so 18+ years old) and diesel cars older than 2018 (so 6 years old). Well, very few people drive such old gasoline cars (outside of historic car collectors)... but a 6-12 year old diesel? Many people drive these.

      Yeah, but it's not their fault that most of the companies selling diesel cars lied and are continuing to lie about their emissions. The EU is especially failing on this front, VW should have been caught year before it was.
