Basically this entire article makes me want to fly to California and punch the Governor as hard as possible in the fleshy patch between his legs where his nuts should be but like this shit:


"For too many decades, we have allowed cars to pollute the air that our children and families breathe. You deserve to have a car that doesn’t give your kids asthma. Our cars shouldn’t make wildfires worse - and create more days filled with smoky air."

Umm ok electricity and heat are the largest contributors to greenhouse gasses globally, asthma can be caused by respiratory infections and exposure to airborne allergens, and like A FUCKING GENDER REVEAL PARTY caused your latest wildfire. What in the tap dancing FUCK.

*proceeds to go outside and start hitting the side of a box truck like its a speed bag*

Fucking fuck it gets worse


Officials say that the price of electric vehicles is dropping and "will almost certainly be cheaper and better" than gas-powered cars by 2035.

These are the people getting elected, holy shit we're doomed. Pack it in.

Pretty obvious why there is a mass expdious out of Cali.

The problem is the idiots who vote these morons in are not happy with things so they are leaving. Going to Texas and voting in more idiots with the same ideas.

Let's face it, it's unlikely to happen. Classic political move, set a good sounding goal then make the timeline long enough that you won't have to actually do anything to implement it. Then it falls on some future successor to change the goal posts.

Yes electric will be "better" when tested by Car& Driver and Motor Trend and there is Motor Week unbiased reveiws.
Electricity prices or tax money will sky rock.
At least Ford won't be selling our hydro to the yankee's below our cost like Wingfee did, then yet she cut hydro to the poor who couldn't pay excessive rates.
But this is in 35 years, a lot can change in 2 days.

California can't keep the power on now so what will they do if this is implemented. I guess all the electricity generated is derived from Fairy Dust or perhaps adjoining states.

At this point the States (and Canada) would be better off if west coast just fucked off and formed their own country.

Didn't Musk just announce a $25K Tesla is coming soon (didn't see the date though)?
