    Source on the killing of credits?

    Those are California ZEV credits, and other similar non USA programs.

    They’re going to kill a lot of other things, but haven’t heard about that yet.

        Just on mobile now so can’t read it all, but it did get the gist across, thanks! I hadnt seen that yet.

        I still think they’d have to win a lawsuit against California saying California can’t have the program?

        Edit: as in I don’t think they can just scrap it like he’s scrapping other things via executive order.
