minus-square@SupraMariolink-1•1 year agoTotally agree, but to act like it’s only trucks pushing this weight is silly. The electric leaf is nearly 5k lbs and it’s a very small EV.

minus-square@SupraMariolink-1•1 year ago3500-3900 depends on what you get for options. Add in people and their shit and you’re pushing 5k (curb weight is 4,900bs)
minus-square@Juvyn00blinkEnglish2•1 year agoYou keep misusing the term curb weight. From teh googs: Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment.
