And yet they still sell a metric fuck-ton of them, somehow, especially if you combine GMC and Chev.

I’ve parallel parked a full size but it wasn't fun.

Yes but how is the parallel parking?

That’s because emissions regulations were written when the average age of vehicles on the road was less than 9 years, meaning an 25 year old vehicle was rare enough that it was a rounding error in the total pollution. Now that the average age is over 12 years there’s a larger percentage that are older but likely most

Right now, the ICE car market functions though some new supply, but mostly the availability of cheap used cars. There are few cheap used EVs, and without priming the pump you can’t really drive adoption. It’s like any new technology right now where costs are high, the products are barely adequate, and massive sums are
