US Senate blocks California’s electric car mandate in historic vote

Maybe you should keep up with YOUR posts before you call others liars. This is the post in question, YOUR post #121---I think it is very clea that you claimed NO ONE can sell a Tesla in WV which is a bald faced lie. Try again. Better yet just GTFO.
It's long been illegal to sell a Tesla in WV but yet they are zooming all over the place.

Your spin doesn't interest me. It's illegal to sell new Tesla's in WV.

The federal government has the power to regulate interstate commerce. That's how the Supreme Court's overturning of the segregation laws were justified.

How did the Republicans prevent the Dems from debating the bill?

They didn’t they debated, read the link Jefferies went on a ramble

You are clueless dembot

Don’t you feel embarrassed?

 

[struth]

The sale, not the driving but troll away.

If they ban the sale who’s gonna make them to drive??

Which has nothing to do with whether an individual state can regulate within their own borders.

The goo 'ole "Interstate Commerce" wedge. A favorite of liberal statists everywhere.

You can buy a Tesla in Cincinnati or Pittsburg, drive it home and register and drive it in West Virginia.

West Virginia has laws that forbid auto companies from selling direct. Tesla does not sell through independent dealers.

Incorrect

Explain.

While I think the mandate is stupid, and hurts the citizens, I dont see how congress has the power to do this.

They don't, really. Even the whole voting process was really questionable on this one. They basically created a new way to bypass the filibuster, which will definitely bite them in the ass.

Incorrect means inaccurate or false

To expand further, states cannot legally prohibit interstate access. There are no laws about how walking into WV is illegal because I’m from MD, nor driving, nor what I drive nor how I bought it

It’s good to see California get checked a little bit. Electric cars are not green no matter what liberals want to sell them as.

Today’s decision could upend California’s phaseout of gas-powered cars and its battle against air pollution. Some experts say Congress’ move is illegal and will trigger a legal battle.

So states rights are not states rights...

 

[Mac-7]

He isn’t getting that either!

For prestige Tesla is no doubt important to Musk

However he only owns about 13% of Tesla stock

It would be a bigger blow to him if traumatized global warming doomsday libs cancel their reservations on the first rocket ship to Mars

Absolutely. Just that same as you would be able to do with an ICE car in California.

One reason why it was never going to get implemented.

West Virginia has laws that forbid auto companies from selling direct. Tesla does not sell through independent dealers.

As I noted.

No one said a state could legally prohibit interstate access. That is exactly what states tried to do until Gibbens Vs. Ogden was handed down in 1824. Pennsylvania passed legislation forbidding improvements on the lower Susquehanna River explicitly to prevent anyone from building a canal that might divert trade to Baltimore.

Tesla’s market share has collapsed in Western Europe and China.

It has also significantly declined in the U.S.

I never thought about buying a Tesla. I never trusted Elon Musk even before Trump).

I always thought that Tesla would eventually go the way of Kaiser-Frazer

Cool story bro.

It has EVERYTHING to do with that.
Its half the reason it exists.

 

[dblack]

The Court saved California from itself. It could have been a very "teachable moment".

Commerce clause.

States rights out the window along with nearly everything else MAGA pretended to support.

That noted, it was never going to happen anyway.

You should not be permitted to vote unless and until you pass a course in civics.

I already dismissed your point.
