Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles. Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They are all SUVs with 3 rows of seats and a good sized trunk. If you want to be pedantic of course you can find differences. They aren't literally the exact same vehicle. The things you noted are not good reasons to choose an ICE vehicle over an EV though. Saying they aren't similar sizes at all is straight up ridiculous.
Have you ever worked in car sales? Yes they're both huge cars. But the target demographic for ridiculously big car and a ludicrously big car. An EV9 or R1S will probably fit in a modern American garage, an Escalade probably won't. I'm not talking about EV VS ICE. I'm talking about sheer size.
I don't work in car sales but I'm not sure how that's relevant. What conclusion are you trying to reach here? This conversation is about EVs being better than ICE vehicles. Those big ICE vehicles not fitting in a standard garage sounds like another point for the EVs to me. Especially since there's very little, if any, practical benefits to that additional space.
Often, people do need a lot of interior space, and the vehicle likely to give them the most amount of space without being an absurd behemoth? Especially carrying the most passengers.
A minivan. 7-8 people.
But those big SUVs are more tacticool and minivans are for soccer moms, eww, gross! Even many people that have kids don't want to drive a vehicle that indicates that....they have kids.
And whole lotta geniuses think that they need to have an SUV to drive in like an inch of snow. Naturally, these are the same people that ignore what tires they put on their vehicles, and then I see lots of these cars abandoned along the highway (some of them even flipped) after a snow or ice storm came through...
