Now they’ll move away from EVs with support from the federal government.
Nah, the Big Three have quite a few EV and PHEV models coming over the next 24 months plus Volvo with PoleStar and VW with Scout and several more. EV's aren't going anywhere.
According to the sales data I can find Norway has about 130,000 new car sales a year. That's about 1/4th of California's 35% goal.
California is much higher scale and that was the point of my post.
I don't understand the comments attacking Toyota when no auto manufacturer with the exception of Tesla can even get close to the goal. There are approximately 1.6 Million new cars sold in California every year so %35 percent of that is 560,00. Then the next year in 2027 the goal is 43%, and the year after that it's 51% until by 2035, just 11 years from now, ALL new vehicles sold in California are required to be ZEV.
To give you some scope Tesla makes about 1.6 Million EVs a year globally and the "Big Three" made a piddling 200,000 or so COMBINED in 2023.
So the 2025 goal would require nearly half of Tesla's entire global output to be sold exclusively in California and by 2027 it would require that PLUS the combined EV output of Ford, GM, and Chrysler. There literally wouldn't be a single EV for sale anywhere else in the country.
We can scream and fling poo about the domestic auto makers dropping the ball but that doesn't change the impossible nature of California's regulations. I don't see any way at all to meet the 2025 goal and nothing will have changed by 2026.
All this law is going to do is force buyers to out of state dealerships. That's it.
Which is ironic because the United States has been dealing with the reverse problem for at least two years now! People get to Canada and then walk across the northern border and grab a bus / cab / uber into New York. Cash Jordan, a youtuber in New York City, did a video on this earlier in the year.
Huh, this is pretty interesting. I wonder if there's a way to set an Android device to auto-reboot if it hasn't had a network connection or been unlocked after a preset length of time.
It would be nice if it was but they needed to stop production for 18ish months while they retooled the plant and more importantly put some polish on their ultrium driveline.
Thank you for this. I know some people won't appreciate it but not every community needs to be a full time political outlet.
People are correct in not wanting to die for politicians and imaginary lines on a map.
It's a great philosophy but if all of your neighbors don't follow it then you end up being forcibly hijacked.
I wish the United States would end it's embargo with Cuba. The moves toward doing that were, IMHO, one of the bright spots of the Obama Administration.
As a libertarian myself Milei is an idiot for following the United States on this. True libertarians, not those Mises Caucus assholes, are generally not okay with these kinds of trade barriers.
Another vote for Reolink, especially the models with ONVIF support.
