Pick up trucks are the same weight or more than most evs sold today. The tire wear discussion was on weight of vehicles, not evs. Other sites reported on it and grossly overestimated the average weight of an ev.
I have. Those stupid sharp corners are close to the height of the average person’s fucking heart.
And they’re glued together no less. Like WTF, real vehicles secure everything properly with threaded nuts and bolts.
You can’t even get out of a Tesla on fire unless you know how to disassemble the door panel to access the emergency latch. WTF?
Also, vehicle weight scales are pretty damn accurate, even mandatory in certain industries. I’m pretty sure nobody estimated a damn thing, they literally weighed the vehicles.
There’s less than 50000 cybertrucks on the road. BYD sold 3 million cars in 2023, most of which are ‘normal’ cars that only weigh slightly more than the equivalent ICE car. The cybertruck is a rounding error and irrelevant.
EVs on average wear out their tires slightly faster than a similar car, but it’s not by orders of magnitude, and they actually emit less brake dust because of regenerative braking.
Again, private car ownership should definitely be discouraged and alternatives can be found, but this is a prime example of rejecting a solution that solves many issues because one aspect of it is slightly worse than the thing it’s replacing.
Also, all the Cybertrucks got recalled, because roof trim panels are falling off because of bad/wrong glue.
Glue?!?!?!
Don’t they know how to attach parts to a motorized vehicle by now? Nuts and bolts and washers. You know, tried, true, tested, and proven technology?
Look, I’m not against the idea of simple, affordable electric vehicles. But they should also be affordable, relatively easy to fix as necessary, and like not fucking lock you inside while you burn to death…

Have you ever stood next to a Cybertruck?

The Cybertruck isn’t an average EV anymore than the gas powered Hummer is an average gas burning car.
True
meanwhile, my ev weighs 1340kg.
sush, only EVs are teslas. No other Ev’s exist. Stop fighting the narrative.
Ow, sorry 🤐
Okay, not bad. For those that measure in giraffes, that’s about 2955 lbs.
It would be nice to know what model EV you have for reference. I’m sure it ain’t a Tesla…
Bmw i3s with 120ah battery. Really good car tbh.
I’m not even mad, I assume it’s a good vehicle for you…
It is. Thank you 😊.

Why do you keep talking about the fucking cybertrucks? Everyone knows they’re shit. Nobody’s defending them here.
