Clearly the Ford Pinto and Saddle-tanked Chevrolet trucks are old enough for people to have forgotten about why we don’t.
The problem I have with these “natural selection” jokes is that shit like this will kill other people.
And like, yeah it’s funny and all until it actually happens. We are currently witnessing the results of DOGE gutting regulations and agencies in the US. Food getting recalled left and right They just extended the hours truckers can drive in a day. They’ve been slowly rolling back child labor laws sunce Trump’s first term.
Why stop there? You could have fuel stored in veins across the whole car to increase storage. Above, under, front, back, nothing but good ole gas.
Besides the other crazy shit, this would also make for one fat fucking door.

Fuckin’ door is inside out.
Lmao I was going to say “it could just be a cut-through visualization”, but… No it couldn’t. This is VERY clearly portraying the interior side of a door. On a car with a very weird and obstructive pillar shape, no less.
And the side view mirror on the inside as well.
Nah, it’s the first vehicle designed for looksmaxxers: all of the mirrors are on the inside, pointing directly at the driver. AI checks your surroundings for you.
MC Escher door
Maybe it’s a suicide door.
That’s so you can check your hair while lane changing. The sleek design doesn’t disrupt AC flow from the side dash. You’ll look and feel cool as you pull in to refill every 50km.
These luddites will find the smallest details just to complain about AI
How is this different from having the gas cap on the side of the car?
Is the idea you don’t have to get out?
The idea is that you keep that volatile, explosive, toxic liquid into as close proximity yourself as possible, while still blocking egress with same. Some scientists say under the seat is best, but putting the tank in a crumple zone has proven to be the most intelligent design.
Yes, that’s what was implied by drive-thru.
Now if you REALLY wanted to do this, you could even do it without relocating the gas tank. Just run a flexible hose the way they run cables into car doors. Not a bad idea in any way shape or form, I promise
put the gas tank your car inside
How is babby formed?
Edit: Also, how do you roll down the window?
It’s on a hinge at the top, & the bottom sticks out (there are multiple types of mechanisms for this design).
I don’t think they explained babies to you properly.
The second coming of the Ford Pinto has been foretold
Legit LOLed.
Can’t even roll down the window to let the fumes out.
You dont need to do that to have a drive thru gas station.
Aren’t gas stations already drive through?
That’s just one piece of this I am attempting to unpack. What does this persons gas station experience look like?
Even in the places you pump yourself, you never really leave your car. So while it’s not exactly like a drive thru, it’s not unlike one either.
Presumably they get out of the car? In a drive-thru restaurant, you don’t get out.
As the other person below me wrote, that’s the process in NJ and Oregon. So this person has something else in mind. Maybe drive through without stopping or something. Drive through with the door open? Just openly spray gasoline at a car like a squirt gun and have gutters send the fuel to the tank? I have so many questions!!!
In a few states, its illegal to pump your own gas. An attendant has to come over and do it for you. Maybe that’s what they want?
Depends on the country/area. Most western countries it’s DIY, either paying at the pump or inside to staff.
Personally I prefer this because I feel lazy af otherwise. Though, it’s quite nice in Japan because they often do the windows and stuff while pumping. But places like Greece, you just sit there awkwardly wanting to stretch your legs but they’re confused if you get out.
Why does the gastank need to be part of the door to achieve this? It‘s already possible to fill it from the side of the car in most cars.
Because the gas tank under the car is for NORMIES!
Ugh
You have to get out of the car to fill it from the side. Drive-thru implies not having to get out of the car
Why is the window that small, and the mirror on the wrong side
Why is the window that small
Less window, more gas, of course.
the mirror on the wrong side
All the better to apply your makeup, of course.
It’s GenAI 4D chess. Expect to see these features in the next Tesla model.
Well, that’s a right-side door, viewed from the inside.
The curve of the door and window (that you can’t roll down) could account for the apparent size … you know, if this were a real pic.But mirror is absolutely on the wrong side. Total AI glitch there.
And the door itself, being a right-side door, is not gonna work for American driving … again, if this were a real thing and had a real road system it’s intended to work for.
Fear not, folks. There’s no gas line to the engine. This vehicle is going nowhere.
And how da fuq is your car gonna run on that small of a gas tank? Even after they fix the gas line, it sure won’t go far.
they are drive throughs in NJ
