California drivers could be charged more for having larger vehicles

California could begin charging weight-based registration fees for heavier passenger vehicles under a bill that’s making its way through the state legislature.

It'll never pass when they realize that electric passenger cars are damned near as heavy as a truck. A quick google search shows that a 2022 Model 3 Tesla weighs in at 3,648 to 4,250 lbs while a 2022 F-150 Crew Cab comes in at 4,021 to 5,740 lbs.
Unless of course they make EVs exempt or give them a huge discount, which I wouldn't put past them.
