Ah, yes, because EVs can’t be made into giant ugly trucks
gahh, every time I see a Hummer EV, I think people can't get stupider
Me too.
And then I see a Cybertruck
OMG, I saw a cyber truck try to randomly go off road at the park the other day. Up a too steep incline about to just tear up the grass. Not an unpaved trail or anything. Just a grassy field, like he can do whatever he wants.
I learned recently that the stated target demographic for the original hummer was "people who didn't serve in the armed forces, but felt like they should" and it's funnier every time I think of it. They knew their market SO well, and I'd been wondering for years "who the hell is this for?"
Yes but, it can crab walk
That’ll happen as well, but at least it’ll be a lot cleaner. I’m still of the mind there’ll be less.
You do have a point though.
