So are SUVs from BMW, Porsche or Audi. But heh I live in Europe, I guess the trucks in the US are way worse.
- Aren't you guys seeing a surge in SUVs and similar kind of "useful" vehicles?
  
  Almost everyone I know with an SUV only has one because “I might need the space someday!” And 99% of the time either leaves random shit in the back or it’s just empty.
  Same things with trucks. That bed is almost always vacant.
  But the one time they actually use it for the space, it’s suddenly all “see??? I sure am glad I bought a (blank)!”
  There are a few exceptions I know, but if the ratio is anything consistent across America, it would explain a lot.
  Meanwhile my friend who drives a Prius can fit a surprising amount of stuff in that hatch and still has better acceleration and gas mileage than any of them…
  
  It's interesting seeing how many around me have pickups essentially as a personality trait with a pristine bed. I only use a pickup when I absolutely need to because diesel is expensive and I get much better mileage in my sedan.
  
  “Prius…better acceleration”
  Lol
  
  You've never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it's all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don't doesn't mean they can't when it's needed.
  
  The fastest Prius on the planet is 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. The slowest Tesla on the planet is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.
  “Faster than my Tacoma”. Is it also faster than your mountain bike? Lol
  
  They were talking about SUVs ya dip
  
  Last I checked Tesla makes 2 SUVs.
  No one can brag about the acceleration of a Prius with a straight face.
  
  You are being INTENTIONALLY obtuse at this point. They were comparing the Prius to a regular SUV. That's literally why they pointed out the difference of an electric motor being all torque.
  Read the room, look at context. It's ok, we all had to grow up once.
  
  Are you having a stroke? They said SUV. The #1 selling SUV in the world is the model Y you dolt. STFU.
  
  Unfortunately yes
  
  Sorry to hear that, then. One could hope the government tries to step in, but there sure will be loads of people to try and defend their right to buy wannabe monster trucks to haul their fragile egos around.
