Why does it matter whether you think someone "needs" a pickup or not? Align their crash ratings and NCAP values with every other car and the problem will take care of itself. Personally I have the huge white vans because they redu

> US-style pickups exist mostly because of weird tax and emissions rules which should be harmonized with cars. This is the truth and is basically protectionism for the Big 3 American automakers. Don't look for this to be fixed anyti

I recently bought an EV and love it. I barely ever touch the brakes and the wheels stay clean, unlike my old BMW where the front wheels turned gray from brake dust very quickly. Some comments here are looking for a 100% perfect solution, wh

Europe is a big continent. Even within one city you can have neighborhoods with more aggro drivers than others. If there is a protected bike path I don't have problems taking it.

You only have to see the anti-Musk astroturfing on reddit to see how easily people are manipulated. The same has been happening against Modi, regardless of his merits.

Does the maintenance time include regular servicing or is it only the time spent out of service in a day, for example charging? I think electric vehicles are such a clear win for pollution (air and sound pollution) in cities that rolling ba

Oh no, if only there was something they could do about it... Glib aside, the brand factor for some of these companies is insane and they are milking it for all its worth. They are obviously not limiting themselves to the local middle-class,

If anyone working in tech in Germany is feeling overpaid, I would recommend they get out of their current rental contract or mortgage and get a new one at current rates. Or simply forego their inheritance. Saving for retirement in Germany a

Berlin, Munich and other big cities, where most of the tech jobs are, have had massive inflation over the last few years. There is a huge gap in terms of rents and mortgages between those who bought or signed a rental contract prior to 2021
