Yes, have you looked at the weights of actual electric cars and not electric SUV and trucks? The average weight of a electric car is between 3-6k in weight. Secondly, where was the outrage when people were complaining about semis and safety? NHTSA has been at the mercy of the semi industry regarding safety updates. How long have people been fighting regarding undercarriage protectors to protect car drivers from losing their lives to the semi industry? Where has the outage been about the weight protection of those guardrails for semis? I didn't know semis are so new to this country.
Again, SUVs and trucks drivers that just drive those for status... Boofuckinhoo.
Here a link for your average weight for electric cars.
Even a Tesla weighs less than the max weight allowed for the rails. But I guess my brain is useless.
Edit: a whole documentary for you about the undercarriage guards link.
If the average of an electric car is 3-6k that means that is it sometimes above the 5,000 limit, am I wrong?
You just did a whataboutism with this undercarriage thing which is irrelevant
Yes, let’s send the pickup truck drivers to their death and do a fake sob about it, yeah? You feel good about that?
