I worked in the field organization at Chrysler back when these awesome weirdos were launched.

Agreed.

Battery packs are heavy, of course, which makes the 4,072 lbs. even more impressive.

‘23 model year FWD Pacifica is 4,521 lbs. as per multiple sources.

So, what part was homophobic? 

So, for reference, a FWD Pacifica is 4,500 lbs. and an AWD is about 5,000 lbs. according to multiple sources.

So, I temporary get you out of the grays and this is how you treat me? I'm truly butthurt. /s

You just proved my original point.

A more realistic comparison would be with other high performance AWD sedans.

You know, people on the right too often also view the loudest voices on the left as mean, nasty, culture-war assholes.

Most definitely not mainstream. One of the problems with public discourse is we've gotten so tribal, not enough people even try to have a conversation, let alone socialize with people who might think differently. It hasn't always been this way. We are poorer for it.

Did I not just mention lunatic fringe? That was some classic lunatic fringe stuff if ever there was such a thing.

Well, I think it’s unwise to paint any group of people with such a broad and shitty brush.

“Overweight EV” ruining roads is a ridiculous trope perpetuated right wing nutters.

All fine and good. We all get that police chases frequently turn deadly.

I get what you’re saying and agree, on a surface level.

“Let them go" has perpetuated the problem, unfortunately.

Well, sure, it’d be nice if those other car stopping methods were widely available, budgets allowed for them, and they were effective, which is dubious. Why they’re not available is a whole other issue.

But here’s the thing. Those idiots were already racing in and out of traffic in the middle of a major metro area at the tale end of rush hour, risking the lives of other motorists.
