    “What do you mean, nobody wants our fuckhuge, unrepairable, unreliable cars that would outsize most pickup trucks from 30 years ago?”

    Seriously, Ford’s EV offerings are laughable. If you don’t want a massive crossover or $100,000 light duty pickup truck, you’re out of luck.

      I think there’s something to do with the Section 179 tax incentives out there for “small businesses” to write-off cars and light trucks with a GVWR over 6,000 lbs. There are a lot of vehicles out there practically manufactured with fish weights sewn into the headliner just to get to that golden threshold. And then there’s a lot that just keep going… Heavy vehicles are really pushed onto Americans, the parallel between that and sugar and dairy is kind of funny.
