@davidzipper Now, what if road authorities would explicitly quantify this and impose an extra tax on those tanks? It's just like a phone subscription, more bandwidth=higher cost. If you're gonna use more of the road, you pay more. See it as an upgrade.
Btw don't forget about wear and tear. Road damage increases by .ass increase to the power of four
@davidzipper actually enforce the CAFE standards. The law originally didn't allow Karen to get an SUV because sport (off road) utility (bespoke work trucks) vehicles were given waivers to BREAK THE LAW and be oversized, overweight and get super shitty gas mileage.
Make people justify having a 3 ton tank f150 rather than an S10 and no, "I don't feel safe" isn't a reason.

I just want to make clear to everyone that the issue is gigantic cars, NOT electric cars.
I bought a lovely, used Kia Soul EV two years ago that seats 5, can practically hold a sheet of plywood if the back seats are folded down, & has a curb weight of only 3,289 lbs. It's plenty big for most use cases.
Don't demonize electric cars. Also, demand carmakers build smaller EVs & human-sized trucks (they used to). And that your elected officials better fund public transit. @eheisman
