    Lol, I really really want to see how the fuck are they going to sell one of those in cities that were made with horses in mind.

    There are streets here where a Smart, a bloody Smart, barely passes through.

      As we’ve seen in the USA, let them lobby enough, and they’ll lobby to bulldoze buildings to let them through.

      That does not seem to stop people from trying to drive and park huge cars in these streets.

      There’s a dude here who has a yank tank in a housing estate, and it’s ridiculous. It takes up most of their driveway, they only really shuttle the nine miles between house and town, looks daft in the school pickup rank, and must be costing him a fortune.

      I would generally mind my own business and let him piss his own money up the wall… but it’s hard not to get frustrated at the fucking thing taking up a bigger space in an already-cramped parking area; and the emissions coming out of that thing must be horrendous.

      Whether they’re being bought for their use-cases or not, they are being bought unfortunately 😢
