They use the same cab, but are definitely not the same size. 

Ford is already effed... Evidenced as:
- getting out of the Sedan/Coupe market
- importing and selling the EcoSport
- overpricing the new Explorer (and everything else)
- messing up assembly quality on just about every model, but especially F150s since 2018.
- Using the cheapest possible interiors and components on their…

I would rather have the big engine than heated seats, 10-way adjustable anything, and 12 speakers.  Not saying we have to go back to rollup windows and no cruise control, but I already ignore 90% of the features on cars from last decade.  Trading down to a tiny 4 banger in exchange for motors all over my car is a…

Fucked On Race Day

Or get away when you did/did not murder your wife.

I read a study last year that suggested vehicle emissions had very little to do with urban air quality. Believe it or not, the main culprit (according to the study) is CFCs from aerosol cans and air conditioning. Not being a scientist myself, I can't speak to the integrity of the study but I tend to believe scientists…

No to more taxes and I’m independent politically before everyone brings that mess into things. We can’t reverse climate change so who cares. I’ll drive a damn V8/10/12 untill you day I die and I’ll be damned if the government is going to tax me for enjoying my life more than they already do. This whole environmental…

Very stupid take. California is already doing that and the poor are being devastated in that state. 

Cash for Clunkers was a success for what it was designed for.  It was to get people into new cars to bailout the auto industry.  It had nothing to do about environmental or affordable cars.

E-toll. Pretty simple. That way the heavy users pay more and they can also introduce congestion pricing. Makes ten times more sense

This affects the people who make less and kills the economy because those people are what drive the economy. Now instead of taking your family of four or to eat once a week you don’t because you need gas to get to work. You stop buying other wanted items as well. Not everyone lives in New York City where cars aren’t a…

But while you are at it, figure out where the highway fund will get money, because when enough switch to EVs, the gas tax won’t be there.

We’re going to ameliorate this as best we can through the application of monies. Battery backup on the house, plus solar, should be able to at least keep the i3 limping along, but we won’t be able to charge both.

This is one of my issues with a dedicated electric future.  It's nice in concept at least

Most people who can't afford to buy a decent car live in apartment buildings that don't have any way to charge an electric car. Very few apartments are going to have any way to do this unless they're built and inhabited by wealthy people who can pay $$$$ for those extras. Most places I lived didn't even want to fix…

Slightly tangential ...

Go after electrics.

Cool, go after the rules that enable small trucks to be beneficial for car makers to make. Mocking people who just want a more comfortable car won’t get you anywhere.

SSSSHhhhhhhhhhhh.
