  1. Gigantic #SUVs are a public health threat. Why don’t we treat them like one?

    The anti-tobacco playbook could help turn the US public against their beloved oversized cars.

    “We tend to treat the car as a closed thing, ignoring its impact on the environment, the climate, and the pedestrian”

  2. Just something to show someone who says they need a pickup truck because occasionally they need to haul something that wouldn't fit in a small hatchback.

  7. @BruceMirken France, the same. Every new car with a curb weight over 1,800kg pays €10 per kg. So, a Ford F150 Lightning #EV at 3,000kg would pay €12,000 or about CAD$18,000.

    The NA auto industry has supersized profits by supersizing cars for decades. #Electrifying these cars is costly because of large #battery requirements. If Detroit made #smallcars #AffordableEVs would be selling in volume and they could actually make money. The case for minimizing use of scarce resources.

  9. The internet's coolest fashion newsletter Blackbird Spyplane wades into the US SUV/pickuip embigeening debate with a lament about the loss of cool compact cars of past decades.

    Likening it to current fashion trends, this line really hit me:

    " Pushing a car ~5x bigger than you need is not like wearing a swaggily roomy suit of the kind we f**k with heavy here at BBSP. O no! It’s like a child playing dress-up in a XXXL trench coat, sleeves dragging on the floor, while wearing clown shoes. It makes you look small and bozo-like as you take up too much space in a world that you navigate with zero grace."

    Must-read, IMO!!!!!
    And a truly different take on this now pretty well-worn (but still unresolved) issue!

    Make compact cool again!
