I asked the same thing. Seems like a waste of effort, but they have to certify all vehicles for emissions levels even if those levels are zero.
PS. Thought you were getting political for a second re ’ICE’…😉
My order went in early December and was given an early to mid July delivery date. I was told they will actually be on shore earlier, but have to wait for CARB (California Air Resources Board) approval prior to release. Interesting re the reveal. My dealer is in North County.
@ptsturnogt, we seem to be on the same timeline to the same locale. My order went to 4 on April 13th. Did your dealer mention if this is a ‘normal’ wait to progress, or if there is a known delay? Great to hear they don’t think they will pass on the tariff increase for now.
Ordered Dec 11. Dealer gave me a completion date of April 20 and a rough estimate of early July for the 'on sale' green light here in California. The dealer provided the commission number that I added manually to the app for tracking.
