The law is an absurd overreach. The EV demand isn’t there, although it’s growing. There will be political consequences for trying to ram it through.

- MBCook 1y agoThe people of California voted for it (through their representatives). They’re free to change it at any time. It’s not the federal government’s job to mess with it just because it doesn’t align with head-in-the-sand worldview on electric vehicles. California didn’t mandate anything for any other state. The fact the automakers don’t want to bother to implement “the winning strategy” for every other state of pretending EVs suck either indicates it’s a terrible strategy or they think there is a benefit to their bottom line to follow demand. How horrible!
- baggy_trough 1y agoThe representatives of the people of California make many inane and destructive decisions, of which this is one. Once the consequences start to bite, they may come to regret it, and I hope they do.

- josho 1y agoWell if the demand isn't there then I suppose there's no need to have a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, right? The reality is the legislation was to push industry and it seems industries response was ‘nah dawg we’ll just lobby our way out of this one’
