As someone who has run a small business, I know exactly what they have done. CARB approval has been a low priority. By promising they will complete it, they have protected some sales that would have went to their competitor.

As to blaiming the CARB process, that was a fine excuse a year ago. We are now 2 years in and Jerry Brown cut those limited furlough days over a year ago.

Sam can correct my guess if I'm wrong, but here it is.

1. The process was more difficult than expected
2. When GTM needed to provide more documentation or change a part, they put their other workload ahead of this effort.
3. They decided to have the system tested on the heaviest 3.7L car, the M37, so they could have all 3.7L cars certified in 1 shot. This delayed the process considerably.
