• I hope the personal pickup truck market collapses as soon as possible.
• Slate trucks are very commercial which is great since it limits “luxury” truck buyers, but it would be straight into papa Bezos’s pocket.
• Hyundai’s ioniq series & the Rivian R3 have been looking amazing, but as you said both are still no where near affordable enough
• Toyota is also hanging on as hard as possible to combustion engines, holding on to offering hybrids and fuel cell vehicles over BEVs.
• People are still sticking to the viewpoint that smaller cars are not enough, so manufacturers continue to offer more suvs & crossovers rather than sedans & hatchbacks

Overall I agree, and I hope things get cheaper when manufacturing keeps becoming more global rather than the manufacturing hubs we currently have.

On it boss! I’ll get a house full of rats and a twig for a president. That’s gotta be better for sure

It’s not better in consultancy, actually. I know a few good people who couldn’t find work in any other companies in their field, and consultancy firms pay well but overwork their employees to the bone.

None of them could last more than a few months before deciding they’d had enough of companies and their illogical corporate strategies. Especially when it comes to companies that don’t want to change their carbon footprint.

Honestly I can understand their rage. Seeing people who think they’re right and refuse to change pains me too

Honestly, I’m with you on this! I love light little cars with little engines that barely consume fuel compared to what a lot of people are driving these days

Also a car guy. If there was decent public transport to work that got me there in a similar time to taking a car, I’d take the public transport.

I want my car to be for my enjoyment, as well as a tool to get to different places, but not as a tool that takes me to work

(using a car to get to work would still be fine if you worked in a more rural area with less public transport availability, but I also believe that pickup trucks shouldn’t be daily vehicles and would be much more useful on a rent-when-needed system)

Fuck Mondelez & Nestlé they are the epitome of corporate greed
