Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

What the fuck is the point of posting a link to an article no one can read ?
TF is a lifestyle pickup?
It's a more concise way of saying "wankers who buy a massive pickup they never use the bed of for anything other than a grocery bag to compensate for their small penis and try and pretend they're hard men"
It isn't for hauling or towing but as a prop for Instagram and TikTok influencers.
It’s for swingers! The back of the truck has little bits to lie on.
Small trucks are great, but "lifestyle pickups"? We have a word for that already, it's "ute".
Also I love how the default prop to put into a vehicle to show it's practical and cool is a surfboard. Surely there can't be that many surfers in the world.
Maybe these things are discussed in the article but it's paywalled so all I have to go off of is a title and thumbail.
