On: California to Require All New Vehicles Be Zero-Emi...

Just because you can spend the average amount, it doesn't you have to spend the average amount. A car can cost well under even the base model Model 3 and have 90% of the same functionality (the price disparity gets even larger if you opt into Autopilot); albeit it won't be the status symbol that is a Tesla.

There are cheaper EVs on the market than Teslas.

Nissan Leafs and Toyota Priuses are closer to $30k flat, and the Honda Fit is $16k new.

A Honda Fit isn't 0 emissions and runs on a gasoline engine. So it would be banned.

Wow, I guess I always assumed it was an electric car because it looks so wonky. Thanks for the correction.
