      Maybe thats the problem that you hit on "unless you are really far away [from a crosswalk] in this monstrosity". We should ask is there a need to have these silly high clearance, high drag coefficient cars who can kill small people/children with ease.

      "lifted car"
      This is not a lifted car. It rides lower than its competitors. It has a shorter front than its competitors, both in terms of depth and height. I feel these criticisms have been unfairly targeted at Cybertruck and not other (much more egregious) trucks.

    • @dragade101
      @dragade101 3 місяці тому +4

      @@j1000a
      So let me give you a sense of what lifted means on a flat road. GTs and Hyper cars fit somewhere around 1000mm to 1300 mm tall (looking at the Aston Martin to 911 (992 variant)). Normal sedans are around 1450 to 1550 mm (sampling Model S, BMW i5 (G60 variant) and a few Priuses). The truck class or lifted class tend to stand around 1700 mm to over 1800 mm in height. (This includes some/most SUVs and designed for merican oversized market: Toyota Tundra and up).
      If I told you all cars where within 130% of the smallest car, no car is lifted. However based on these figures, 180% height of the smallest sampled car is significant. Especially if we are talking about aero properties (or lack there of).
      To put this in perspective of small people (aka children) vs lifted cars. 120.5 mo old (10 years if you couldnt do the maths): 50th percentile is 138.82cm (3rd percentile: 126.67cm and 97th percentile: 151.53cm) (Reader, this is the value for boys but girls are almost identical to this size at 120.5 mo). So 1388mm tall child compared to a sedan that is only 1550mm tall, the driver can easily see this person. Place that same child in front of a 1800mm lifted car, maybe the driver will notice their heard. Maybe. Of course the child could be bent over and there is a 0% chance the driver will see over their massive front end.
      Its damn reckless for people to buy lifted cars unless they absolutely need that clearance. Kei cars exist. Specifically the are mini trucks with LARGER beds than most standard length trucks (that are currently made for the states). These mini trucks are low to the ground and provide a human’s perspective. If the kei standard is too under powered for you, I’m sure the car industry can upgrade them a bit to tow centric without needing to lift them to 1700+ mm.
      Thats how I am using lifted. Chill.

    • @adsheff
      @adsheff 3 місяці тому +3

      Absolutely. American style trucks are child-killers. Really having a flat front like this should no longer be allowed. The low, rounded front of the Model 3 is much better for pedestrian safety.

      interesting, did you find this one critical? because i did not.. in my opinion, fully charged is great at showing new products in the ev field with lots of positivity, which is good and needed! but i often don't find the reviews critical or honest enough. for example - i find the cybertruck really cool, but how much should it be praised for that, versus criticized for the problems which he pointed out quickly in the end of the video? like the range and the price. 340 claimed miles to 260 test miles. 50k dollars more than they said originally. that's the price of a whole (really good) car! i wonder if the people that it's aimed for are going to be able to buy it.. futuristic, sure, but it's not hard to be futuristic if the price doesn't matter.

      We had a 4 hour wait, in winter. It was cold for UK standards, a little under freezing and I was fine. I was running the heating, and for the entire period I was sitting there, I lost maybe 2 or 3 miles of range.
      All around me people were sitting with their engines running to keep their heating on, burning fuel, reducing their range by far more and also filling the air with toxic, poisonous fumes.
      Here's the important thing, anyone can come up with a scenario where an electric car fails for one reason or another. But you can do exactly the same thing with combustion vehicles.
      So the only serious question is this.
      Is what we do now okay. Is burning billions of gallons of toxic fossil fuel every day okay.

    I would like to present the kei car. Classically we can talk about the Suzuki Carry, futura 1.5 having a 2.375 m long bed. Or as it is 3.94 sq m of usable space. Cyber Truck only has 2.23 sq m and a constrained length of 1.829m Even the standard bed length for a 2023 Tundra (Toyota) is 1.971m long than Tesla's 1.829m. (I don’t know if Tundra drivers can chime in or not but does the semi useless space along the wheel wells actually become useful? That if your primary concern is having the unbroken 1.237m width between the wheel wells being reserved for boxes/crates/sheet goods/etc.)
    My concern is if companies are going to make trucks, make them USABLE, as trucks. A 60kusd+ 'truck' which is basically an oversized lifted Prius (I did look for seat down cargo sizing which is not so easy to source but lets call that within the realms of cyber truck capacity. Feel free to cite measurements (X,Y,Z) ). Otherwise there are these useless trucks being put on the market who may never have a second life as a working truck.

      My Mitsubishi minicab miev EV Kei van has more usable interior space than a Land Rover defender, Kei cars rule as far as usability goes, stiff regulation does the world for creativity, freedom from boundary's jus t creates huge trucks and SUVs .

    The actual headlights are in the slot just above the bumper, I think?
