Seems to me a different ball-game if the manufacturers time-line to stop production completely matches the so-called non-binding time line of prominent states to end emissions.
Not quite the same as the past 18 years of violating a non-binding target.

I'm not so sure it'll end up that way. Even these executive orders are predicated on satisfactory resolution of the safety, technological feasibility, and cost-effectiveness hurdles.
Corporate plans are even more subject to change. I can't see GM or Ford choosing to go out of business if the hoped-for rates of replacement of ICE sales with EV sales ends up not happening. That's out of their hands for the same reasons.
