I'm not in the US but that's truly chilling to hear. When you're not surrounded by it, you don't realise how normalised something becomes in a different part of society.

Great point, what sort of a hellscape is that!?

Who decides which country is "crazy"?!

As I saw this happen I thought that this would be the take but in reality, what's he going to do? Just stand there and not help pick them up for him?

My take is he's just helping the elderly as Trump won't have the mobility to bend down and get them.

Great link, thanks. Wow it is. I'm not against the idea if it offers more internal space but so many SUVs/cross overs are the same size inside as a much smaller car.

We'd hired a vw t-roc for 4 and turned up with too much luggage. They encouraged us to take a bog std estate (Fiat Tipo) and it was insane how much more fit in it

Are you in the US? I'm in Europe and I think people here working in supply chains have reservations about DEI targets when buying for American companies for this same reason. We're taught to buy only based on value and capability to deliver.

I end up having this discussion with my brother alot, whether an EV is environmental friendly or not.

Our conclusion each time is that no consumption is, but if you need a car to exist then an EV is the best option. That and the truly environmentally friendly option would be to kill ourselves immediately :)

Is the Skoda Enyaq an SUV though? I kind of had in my head it was an estate

I agree, it's a step beyond the little sticker on the back of the car.

I'd do the same if I had one but pedoguygate switched me off the brand and it's never been the direction that I wanted to see EVs go (look I have a button that makes the car/range go down really fast. I also don't think talk of range without reference to battery size is helpful)

Tries afri-cola in Berlin at the weekend and that was very nice. I'm in the UK so our cola options are limited but I don't drink alot of fizzy drink anyway
