A 2000lbs car is far below normal. A 2022 Camry weighs 3,340 lbs. SUVS are significantly more. The electric F150 is 8,250 lbs gross (!)

- selectodude 3y agoThat's fair. The electric F150 at 8250lbs, which is obnoxiously heavy, does .011% as much damage as an 18 wheeler. The point is the same, an 18 wheeler does >99.9 percent of all the damage on the roads. Trucks absolutely do not come anywhere even remotely close to paying for the damage they create. The entire transportation system in the US is a trillion dollar subsidy to the trucking industry. That being said, I'm fine with that. I also don't want tomatoes to cost $11.
- ultrarunner 3y agoAgreed— I think a lot of people's perceptions of 1) the size of vehicles, and 2) the sheer amount of resources to them are woefully uncalibrated.
