Tada! Ford now says mass-adoption needs EVs that cost the same as combustion cars.

@b4cks4w if we are going to keep private passenger vehicles, we need smaller ones. using one's personal mega pickup truck as a penis extension needs to be heavily taxed. work vehicles can be taxed lower, but should have to meet actual criteria for that lower rate.
@redenigma @b4cks4w absolutely. We don't need vehicles bigger than the ones commonly seen in Europe.
@DavidKMresists @b4cks4w i really don't understand why anyone would WANT a huge gas guzzling behemoth vehicle, except to compensate for something they think they're missing. (and these ARE the same people that whine about how high prices are & how they can't "afford" things... after shelling out 70k for a truck that gets 8 MPG... at an interest rate of over 6%)
@b4cks4w A truly DUH moment
