I just rented a car in CA, here is the gas powered vehicle warning.

WARNING: Operating a motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, always start and operate the engine in a well-ventilated area, if in an enclosed area, vent the exhaust to the outside, do not modify or tamper with the exhaust system, do not idle the engine except as necessary. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

That's just California's excessive (IMO) Prop 65 warning obsession. Teslas have also had P65 warnings for years such as the one below:
