When the planet gets too hot for us to go outside, our dependence on motor vehicles will deepen that much more. But we'll need ways to interact with the world safely, so engineers will find ways to redesign cars and trucks into relatively almost affordable wheeled mecha. These Mechars will still put us into a lifetime of debt, but that's okay because the way people use their cars is already like a minihome, and so the mechars will continue that trend of essentially being our homes on wheels, complete with mortgage. We won't need houses, which is great cause they'll be demolished to make room for the charging stations for these mechars.

I can't get the imagery of countless mecha stuck in rush hour traffic out of my head.

Maybe I'm an outlier, but I bought a used 2011 Tundra with 230k miles on it for $7k. It's the base model, bone stock except for replacing the broken radio and I use it to tow the RV I live in and transport my ebike that's the size of a moped or small motorcycle.

I'm also non-binary and stuck some cutesy cat stickers on my back window. 😂 The idea of spending over $50k on a truck is just insane. I found the original dealer window sticker in the glove box and mine sold for $21k new in 2011.

I live in Texas and pass these huge lifted trucks with the super wide-set tires and always wonder how they can even load anything into the bed. And if MY truck gets 17-18mpg on a good day, what is THEIR monstrosity getting? 😭

I just looked up the Toyota Tundra and it's still a large truck.

Funny sidenote, this week I saw a VW Eos pulling a caravan.

I’ve always said they try to compensate for something because I can’t for the life of me understand why’d you’d need a massive pickup truck and you live in the suburbs
