In that case they may want to update their web page.

They can move their factory, because any idiots can assemble a car on a robot-assisted production line. They won't move the bulk of their engineers... because their talent largely will not move and will just find another high paying silicon valley job.

They're incorporated in Delaware like everyone else, anyway.

Texas conducts annual inspections for every car. Can someone explain how or why they'd prefer that over inspections starting at year 8 in CA?
Like all rules and regs in CA, they don't necessarily apply to you if you can afford for them not to. Whether that's by design or unintentional is a debate for another thread, but so long as you own cars newer than 8 years old, you're free to do as you please. |

BMW's largest plant is in Spartanburg, but that is not where BMW does their R&D etc. In the US they do it in SV and of course in Germany. |

![]() Talk about a straw man argument. ![]() I'm not pro-smog. I don't remove or disable emissions-related equipment. But people should be able to apply a simple tune to their ECU if they want to. |

Some of the smog laws make sense and some don't
If it was really about less emissions than the laws are ass backwards A 95 model year civic is allowed to put out X amount of emissions If the engine were to crap out and I wanted to put a newer engine from a civic 2005 which would cut emissions in half CA says it's not legal so I'd have to put in another 95 civic engine and continue to pollute |

Dumb question-
How will CA know? As far as I can tell, you have to have the super-secret Mothership computer to check if the car has been flashed. Pretty sure that your average tire/smog shop in Cali won't have one of those. R.

The obvious solution here that everyone seems to ignore is for popular tuners to get CARB-certified, just like every other competitive turbo/supercharger/airbox company. Unless I'm misunderstanding, there's nothing wrong with failing the checksum at a smog appointment if your 2022 Bootmod3 Flash is CARB-certified (assuming they move to make that a thing).

However my point is you can only do a swap if the engine was available for the chassis of the car So no k24 legal swaps I to an EG civic Even though it would literally cut emissions in half |

I don't think there are any limits on air pollution in West Texas (where they are launching)
