That's the point though. We want x% of new cars on the road to be zero emissions. No point in doing this shit if the customer can circumvent it.

They could do it a lot better by offering subsidies directly to the consumer to entice them into buying one and making it more affordable. The current method seems destined to fail as companies are being held to standards set by consumer purchases from third party dealers. And consumers are being limited based on other consumer's purchase decisions.
