The pullback to California
The pullback to California actually started in about February, but was only admitted to by Honda in early August after being questioned by car websites after it was noticed that the 2019 model Clarity was only being shipped to ZEV states, and that even cars on dealer lots in east coast ZEV states had VIN numbers below 1,000, indicating production no later than February, whereas cars in California already had VIN numbers above 5,000.
