How do new cars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and the like pass - all featuring V8s/v12s - but our Toyota Camry V6 with a supercharger fails (and half the horsepower)?

How does a reduced HP tune somehow make the engine more efficient to meet CA standards? That just feels like something made up…

MIGZ hasn’t been proven wrong yet on any info he shared to this point. May just not have seen the posts.

Incompetency by Lotus?

Of 2027 - when they remove our current engine and do a battery swap officially making us 1st edition owners (of an all electric platform), just like they promised.

What, did you think that first edition badge meant something else?

First, joking (it's a meme), second, come on man you can't just drop a bomb with zero context on the most anticipated thing everyone has been watching for and just say it didn't pass.

Odd to say but I hope so! I simply don’t want it to be true!

Your dealer heard it from a customer, who read it here

Hand the pencil over to the CARB guys and have them fill out the paperwork however they want it done! Then, do what they need done, or buy carbon credits from Tesla.

Official News - Did not pass next try is FEB 12 if that does not go well it into March

I have the feeling that they did not submit paperwork until mid December, and the 90 day period within CARB has to approve would it put to mid march.
as many have pointed out here already, CARB is not doing any testing at this stage, all they do is certify the Manufacturer performed tests, and they have to issue a decision on that within 90 days.

I actually had email correspondences with CARB today, surprisingly quite fast and helpful. They could confirm there is no certification of the Lotus Emira, and recommended to check back frequently on their site. However after me asking if their were in receipt of an application, and as to the application date, they said that it was confidential, however they did confirm that a decision would be made by CARB within 90 days……

not having all facts obviously at hand, I put my bet down on the 90 days passing by mid march….as that could make sense……it is getting pathetic for sure though

my car is getting ppf’ed this week, so that makes me feel a little better protection wise……
