    If they are going to make it that big anyway they should put in stacked seating and a bigger bed, and there can’t be any justification for so much space under the hood in an ev so shrink the front to get more room for seating and bed. Or get fucked and stop making shitty giant vehicles for the shitty people that end up buying them. Literally everyone that shouldn’t be on the road drives a big and/or expensive car. On my way home today someone in a gas truck that size made the most ridiculous illegal road maneuver I have seen to date, driving in a bike lane to pass on the right or all the car lanes, cutting off and nearly hitting a car turning right from the right most car lane, then doing a U-turn through the intersection from the bike lane to the outermost lane on the other side, nearly hitting 4 or 5 more cars.

      We need to legislate these things out of existence. Mandatory sightlines, lower hoods, lowering the CDL threshold for certain size/weight, max headlight height, culling the light truck loophole, etc.

      Giant spotless brodozer/mallcrawler trucks seem like they’re always driven by predictably shitty douchebags.
