Ah here it is demonstrated clearly, cybertruck versus an actual truck!
I had to load another browser so I could see that, and let me say it was well worth the effort!

"When you drive a massive SUV you’re saying three things: I don’t care about the environment. I don’t care that I’m more likely to kill pedestrians in my car. I don’t care that there isn’t room for my car and others to co-habit smoothly on London’s streets."

Here we see collective and individual action to make climate change worse. Collectively, the government provides the incentives and the companies promote the bigger gas-guzzlers. Individually, people fall for it and buy them to satisfy their egos or whatever psychological button has been pushed by the marketing and mind control department. I'm marveling at how insane it is. We don't stand a chance.

Perhaps humour will prevail where logic doesn't appear to be working...

The length of the bed alone puts the old Hilux SR5 ahead of all the modern Tonka shit.

If only there was some way to discourage landbarges from urban and suburban areas...

With this and the incoming fuel efficiency rules here I'm standing by for the feral fossil fuel fuckwits to go into a frenzy.

Yarra goes all Parisian!
An inner-Melbourne council could become the first municipality in Australia to increase parking fees for so-called truckzilla twin-cab utes and large SUVs, due to concerns about their safety and environmental impact.
Yarra City Council – which includes Fitzroy, Richmond and Collingwood – will on Tuesday debate a motion from Greens councillor Sophie Wade asking the council to investigate ways to discourage large and heavy vehicles on Yarra’s streets, including “proportionate parking fees based on a
vehicle’s size”.
