    This is what I’ve wanted for a while. Small, electric, simple. Decent range too. Now when can I buy it in the states? Oh wait never… man fuck these American car manufacturers. I don’t want a giant SUV or a king cab pickup that I can’t see a full grown adult directly in front of me.

      size is right. simple. practical. don’t need a deafening sound system, though. and the range could be a bit longer so i could always charge at 11c/kwh here instead of 4x that or more in the city.

      I went to an ATM in this fancier suburb on my way to meet up with a friend a while back, and they had this thing raised up so high because of all the SUVs and pickups that people must drive around there, I had to unbuckle just to insert my card. I was mildly infuriated in my little rusty sedan.

        I went to the grocery store the other day and there was this oversized pavement princess that the hood was literally taller than me standing directly in front of it. If I hadn’t been alone I would have gotten someone to take a pic. I’m 5’10”.

        It reminds me of this graphic.

        And this only goes up to 1.43m. This truck was at least 1.8m.

          Fairly common in suburbs, drive put the card put money or get money, roll away. Thing is when everything is cursed with a mile of parking lots in any direction getting places in a car is the only resort. Yeah people can bike, but today in Sofla was 33c feels like 39c, and rains in the afternoon dropped about 20mm of water in 45 mins…
