- micromacrofoot 4y agoThen continue to subsidize EVs. I will note though, that the EV Hummer weighs nearly 10,000lbs. We're already seeing the same problem.
- sliken 4y agoSure, a bit, which is fair. Sure maybe EV incentives make sense to burn less gas, but have them pay full share of road wear. A model 3 RWD is 3800 pounds, a somewhat similar sized Toyota Camry is 3,300 pounds. Tesla's just starting to ship the 4680 batteries with their structural battery pack which should decrease the vehicle weight for a given range, which should decrease the weight penalty further.
