does not allow Kali to prevent cars bought in other states to be brought in.

Let’s see - - -
If you bring in a vehicle from out of state into CA, the DMV wants to see the “Calif Compliant” emmissions sticker.
New ICEs won’t be Calif compliant.
For motorcycles this is for under 7000 miles. Over that they don’t need to see the sticker. Ask me how I know. Previous owner took stickers off the tank of course. I did solve it. Only took 5 months.
I am confident that if this ever happens CA will lose the resulting lawsuit.
They used to get away with charging a fee, I think it was $150, for bringing in an out of state vehicle.
Seems the Fed. put a stop to that.
CA does a lot of crap that eventually gets shut down.
I remember the days of their “Source tax” on folk who retired outside of CA with a CA pension.
Your ordeal seems similar, a class action suit would be appropriate.
