It’ll make them burn more gas that’s for sure. Cheaper? No, they’ll sell them for the same price since they’ve already established people will pay that much. They will however increase their profit margins by saving on emissions systems
That’s not how that works?
Aaah and the US car makers will find it even more challenging to export their models as other markets won’t accept the US regulations. This isn’t just shooting yourself in the foot – it’s nuking one’s leg off.
But I thought there’s an energy emergency.
This is a combo of Biff being mayor + Idiocracy + Don’t Look Up. However, I see a version of Snowpiercer in the short future
Polluting is not why the average car is so expensive.
Once again this is all about corporate profits.
