Let’s say Company A has designed and built their car to CA strict standards. Govt relaxes the standards. Company A may very well stick with what they’re building and wait until the next re-design to address the changes which may be quite a few years later.

There’s something profoundly ironic about naming a vehicle getting fuel economy in the low teens after the one of the oldest and largest life forms being destroyed by climate change.

Elon must feel right at home.
