I’m sure it will have its own brakes. For a trailer with a gross weight rating (GVWR) over 750 kg (1650 lbs) this is already mandatory in the EU.

The license plate for the trailer is no issue, as the rental company delivers the trailer with the license plate already attached and a bit of paperwork in a folder.

This is spot on.

You’re thinking from an American perspective, with comically cheap gas and its lacking alternative infrastructure.

Good points. I just used to numbers I was provided with, and interpreted some data here and there. 200k Teslas suddenly sounds very plausible.

Fiat is nothing but a shadow of itself nowadays. It was in decline before, but it has been utterly ignored since the purchase of Chrysler.

No. The inefficient vehicles will become more expensive due to the fines, but efficient vehicles will become cheaper due to the incentive for the manufacturers.

Indirectly, it will be the consumer who buys a new dirty/inefficient vehicle that pays the fine. You will see non-hybrids becoming more expensive and hybrids and EVs becoming cheaper. Significantly so. This will have an obvious effect on customer demand.

Despite the stringent norm, nothing is stopping manufacturers to manufacture vehicles that produce 3 times as much. The consequence however is that manufacturers will have to either:

How is this sexual in any way? Imagine you painting your male chest off-screen, with pasties on your nipples. Only after multiple layers have been applied, you show the art. Art mimicking mainstream game characters.

Up to a point. Crossovers are becoming popular in Europe because A. They are different than what came before and B. The aging population.

Or simply get a van and call it a day.

Most of them are not properly available everywhere in the world, or sell very few cars in certain markets. Honda and Subaru for example are negligible niche manufacturers in Europe, unlike Toyota, Nissan, Suzuki and even Mitsubishi.

A government can mandate emission limits for new vehicles. All our governments have been doing this for decades. Make these rules strict enough, and you could move to realistically outlaw new ICE vehicles. Or make them prohibitively expensive, which is what will happen in Europe to relatively inefficient (CO2

Who knows. We will get there eventually, and I (37) will certainly not be too old to drive when it happens.

We are moving to electrics very fast. No manufacturer will produce a manual electric, as it makes rather little sense. Living in Europe I suspect the automatic gearbox for an ICE vehicle will die around the same time as the manual. Maybe even earlier, when ICE vehicles have become enthusiast-only. In the US though,

The take rate of the manual C7 was only 15%? That’s insane. Makes the decision for the slushbox-only C8 more understandable.

True. There used to be many objectively good reasons to buy a manual over an automatic. Most of those reasons are outdated nowadays.
