70K civic. FFS.

I dig both cars but it’s a Civic and a Corolla.

Owning an old, unreliable Jeep is basically a requirement for mechanical engineering students in Michigan.

Uh, yep. The stock would fall to normal car company levels and stay there, but the brand would be better off in the long run is my guess.

“A storied, truly American company that our kids will know only as a vestige of American automotive history. The logo will appear on electric scooters and bicycles made in China and sold in Wal-Mart.”

This. Why do all of these electric, hybrid, and efficient cars have to be ugly? I’m not saying make the Camry look sporty, Toyota tried and failed miserably, rather, make an affordable car attractive if you want people to buy into that tech. Otherwise only the pious will buy it. “Look at me, I care about the…

With out the freedom you hate so much you would be making iphones in a factory getting paid in company credits to use at the company store. I doubt you work at all though.

Orange? Fire is orange. Wait California has wild fires. California hasn't been doing anything to curb wildfires. Yeah ban trucks. Make other people spend money they don't have just like you spend money you don't have.

Well, of course if someone actually made an EV that looked good to me it would be something like this and also way out of my price range

Then it would not have been up to the usual sensational standards of this site. 

Its not really when a truck can run 3 million miles

If you look at the past 120 years, the company has always evolved, never stood still

Whether 10 years is long enough depends upon the useful lifespan of the asset. If a company bought a new truck in mid 2010 with the expectation that it would be used for 20 years, then notifying them that it can only be used for 12 years just threw off their financial plans.

This isn’t even “fuck you money”. This is the equivalent of someone making $200k dropping $100 at Target. Something you bought there feeds you a couple days, but really, you just bought some toys for the kids. I wouldn't be fully surprised to find out one of the big payouts from this ends up with someone related to…

this amount of money is a rounding error for shell. source the google : “Shell revenue for the twelve months ending September 30, 2022 was $375.229B”

Then maybe neighboring states should also start caring about their environments. They aren’t California’s responsibility. 

Yeah, there should have been some exemptions/assistance made available for owner-operators. I completely understand the need to get shipping emissions under control, but legislation like this almost always disproportionately affects small business owners. 

The ban only applies to commercial vehicles. Author could have done a better job, instead of blanket labelling all diesel-powered vehicles, could have been more specific that this applies to commercial fleets only.

It’s only trucks? Misleading headline. It had me dreaming of a sudden bounty of rust-free diesel W124s for sale, cheap.

This doesn't remove the engines from the road just displaces them to neighboring states
