“It does suck, because everybody kind of makes fun of the Cybertruck. To the outside person, it’s kind of weird, it’s ugly, whatever. Once you actually get in it, drive it, you realize it’s pretty frickin’ cool,” he says. “It’s kind of been sad, because I’ve been trying to prove to people that it’s a really awesome truck that’s not falling apart, and then mine starts to fall apart, so it’s just… Yeah, it’s kind of unfortunate and sad.”
All of these pickups should be taken off the road. Tesla makes the news, but I’m not sure they are the worst offender in terms of the threat they pose to other motorists and pedestrians.
Small pickups, like the tiny B2300 I have, were regulated out of existence because emissions limits are scaled partly by square-footage. It’s easier to meet emissions requirements with a giant truck than a small one so no one makes the small ones.
That makes no sense, but then that’s what makes it more believable. Are you referring to US or Canadian regulations?

A small pickup had to meet the same standards as a small car but a large pickup is lumped in with vehicles as large as a towtruck. So despite a small Ranger consuming less than half the fuel of an F-350, it was in a more strict emissions category. Though as per the article the EPA (however long they last) is working on fixing this issue.
Incredible. No one should be allowed to drive one of those things without a CDL or some other special license.
