No wonder people on their 20s are so pissed off with politicians, life is so hard it ages them an extra 20 years.
Well there are contractors who need to tow heavy machinery around, so about 0.01% of the people that buy them need them.
I particularly like the ‘quiet part out loud’ moment where this Tory grandiser admits that they are all self-serving bastards who have been getting away with it, because they had the mask of competence.
Sadly the mask has slipped to reveal the baddie, like a dystopian Scooby Doo episode.
That’s a terrible thing to say!
…Only joking.
I tried to buy an EV for my parents a couple of weeks ago and the dealer had the EV misinformation playbook memorised and tried to convince us that EVs were a fad and that should get a hybrid until Hydrogen takes over.
I’ve decided that whenever I see these common myths, I’m not going to just let the misinformation go unquestioned.
In this case I think specifically focusing on EVs will generate more clicks for article writers, but it does also feed a common anti-EV narrative that they are somehow worse than ICE cars because of tire wear, which is not true.
I do see the other side that the tires being developed are specifically looking at EV owners, so this is a tough one to get the balance right on, but I do still think the headline is written to stir trouble and generate clicks.
One thing is certain, America needs to stop buying so many trucks!
I agree entirely, but the title of this post suggests that EVs are the problem, but actually it’s heavy vehicles.
Additionally when we say “problem”, particulate pollution from vehicles is 99.9% a diesel problem, and 0.1% a tire problem. (Not actual statistics but let me know how wrong I am with the actual stat)
That explanation is fair enough but the headline is red meat the the EV disinformation brigade.
That is a list of the most sold vehicles in the US. Where are the people lining up to say the ICE trucks that are so popular are causing all this tire pollution?
Those are the most sold vehicles in the US, when you have heavy EV’s in the top slots you can say that heavy ev’s are a problem… until then it’s what you are buying is causing the problem.
2023 top 5 vehicles sold in USA and weight:
1 - Ford F-150 4069-5697lbs
2 - Chevrolet Silverado 4400-6947lbs
3 - Ram pickup 4765-6440lbs
4 - Toyota RAV4 3370lbs
5 - Tesla Model Y 4416lbs
Looks like the only electric on the list is below the average weight. We don’t have these conversations about the trucks.

What kind of backhanded EV misinformation bullshit is this?
Electric, gas, petrol, hydrogen, diesel, cooking oil or vodka; what you put in your car to make it go makes no difference to the tires or the wear.
Y’know… because of the implication.
… and the users
One of these situations where you look at the source of the story and it’s a basic outrage-headline-for-clicks site. I’ve never heard of skwawkbox outside of lemmy, where do they advertise?
I figured it’s better to know the reason than not.
That is fair enough, but the thing to do when you are told something like you are being de-selected is to ask for confirmation from the party within a reasonable timeframe. Not go out and have a rally with your supporters and the press to tell the world how disgusting you think your party leadership is.
Edit: although now she has been selected maybe she did exactly the right thing, for herself, even if it was at the expense of the party.
Great maybe now she’ll shut up and do her job for a bit. I won’t be at all surprised if the next time she starts mud slinging she finds herself with another suspension and permanent removal from the party.
I very rarely downvote people but @RobotToaster you are just posting the most gutterish drivel. We get you don’t like Labour but if you insist on posting here please try to elevate the quality of your sources and commentary. 57p for the graphic sounds like the sort of bargain we need after 14 years of corrupt Tory contracts.
How dare you accuse me of chicanery!
If you’re not careful I’ll shit in your lake, and steal all your money.
