I wouldn't call the Rimac Nevera a production car. 

Agreed. It’s fine for the typical suburban family going to Home Depot and hockey practice but I don’t see people using it to tow a boat or camper any appreciable distance.

All I keep seeing with this truck is people being disappointed with it, or having problems with it, or recalls, or regretting buying it.

“The Lightning is also built to work like a truck, with up to a 10,000-lb towing capacity”

Of course, just as with internal-combustion models, efficiency will take a nose dive when towing or hauling.

I’m assuming a “sprog” is a kid. Nobody wants to be hauling three kids in a Mazda 3 hatch.

We know Shilling’s afraid.

And that is exactly the point people like you missed. And that is also why I know you don’t have kids.

Why does Jalopnik never interview rural truck and SUV owners to get their side of the story? Are you guys afraid of being proven wrong, or just afraid of talking to Republicans?

Jalopik: “The people are wrong. We know best”  The spirit of every religious fundamentalist is alive and well here.

Your standard “America bad” article here. Full of fact-free opinion, cherry-picking and editorialization. What about the differences in driving landscape between the US and EU? What about the vast differences in miles driven? Maybe this is tackled in the article this is referring to, but as it’s behind a paywall we’ll…

I’m not sure locale is completely separated from need. Pickups are very good at hauling dirty things. People in rural America are much more likely to need to do this than city dwellers.

While we can speculate about the American tropes of “rugged individualism” “personal freedom” “powerful” “aggressive” etc., we also can’t discount that most of the American landscape is vastly different than that of the EU.

These things won’t depreciate and you’ll get to drive one around for three years paying only maintenance and gas costs.

They’re just RPO codes, man.  Takes all of 2 seconds to figure it out.

Have a star, I could not agree more.

If it was “Accountant charged with murder after killing 12-year-old in 95-MPH crash in school zone” would you even bother writing this story?

My one frustration with the current Suburban: The Suburban 2500 is no more. The 2500 offered far more payload capacity (my ‘05 Suburban 2500 has a payload capacity of just over 2500 pounds; the current Suburban 1500 is limited to somewhere around 1700 pounds). My problem: A family of 5 and a family-sized camping…

I hope the environmentalists are OK with digging two dozen 1000 acre open pit mines full of diesel powered equipment to supply the lithium and copper to build all of those battery powered cars, not to mention the Congolese warlords filling their Swiss bank accounts with the proceeds from their slave worked cobalt…
