This isn’t true. Many higher trim F150s (bigger cab, 4wd, luxury interior) weigh over 6000lbs. Only the smallest, cheapest ones used for work vehicles are on the 4000lb range. Not defending the Cybertruck, but repeating false info doesn’t help.

Sounds like a good reason for them to lower rents to ensure occupancy to deter squatting. But of course the article doesn’t even mention that.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Exxon CEO blames public for failure to fix climate changeEnglish3·1 year agoI can’t even convince my “liberal” friends and family to buy an electric car (That I know they can afford), because they are afraid of the slight inconvenience of charging. He is right, the West is unwilling to accept a lower standard of living to address oil usage.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto worldnews@lemmy.world•Brussels: Farmers protest leaves streets in chaosEnglish62·1 year agoI know I’m generalizing a large group by saying this, but the type of farmers protesting are usually generally against government regulations. I believe in this case, they are protesting restrictions on pollution and nitrogen use, not asking for regulations on distribution.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•You Need Way Less EV Range Than You Think: StudyEnglish1·1 year agoAs a model 3 owner of 5 years, your math is just wrong and charging is a minor inconvenience if you have a level 2 charger at home or work. I went the first 3 years with no home charging.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•You Need Way Less EV Range Than You Think: StudyEnglish1·1 year agoIf you took the cost of gas engine and had a bigger battery instead, you could make it home without burning gas. How often do you travel more than 250 miles round trip? For me, that’s only once or twice a year.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto worldnews@lemmy.world•Brussels: Farmers protest leaves streets in chaosEnglish206·1 year agoThese farmers are idiots and are protesting the government instead of the corporations paying them low prices and making massive profits
Contestant@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Boeing's safety culture falls short despite the company's efforts to fix it, according to expertsEnglish16·1 year agoThis is the real disconnect. As long as executives’ pay are related to profits or stock prices, they will never make safety the #1 priority.

Contestant@lemmy.worldto [Dormant] Electric Vehicles (Moved to !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net)@lemmy.world•You Need Way Less EV Range Than You Think: StudyEnglish2920·1 year agoAll the complexity of a gas engine, plus the cost of a battery. Just so you can use the range once or twice a year? What happens when you don’t use the gas engine for months and then go to start it with gelled gas? You’re trying to solve a problem that the article shows doesn’t exist for 99%

Maybe not unpopular on Lemmy, but definitely is in real life.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•These states are basically begging you to get a heat pumpEnglish11·1 year agoHe doesn’t give the math of what he’s spending now vs with a heat pump, and he doesn’t say he CAN’T afford it, just that it will take too long for him to see the financial benefits. When others try to ask him about details, he doesn’t respond.
The whole reason why we’re in this mess is the full cost of carbon is not paid by current consumers used to cheap energy. People need to accept that their western standard of living will be reduced to match the correct cost of these comforts without taking a sort of “carbon loan” for the future generations to pay.
It’s a very hard pill to swallow, I understand.
Contestant@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•These states are basically begging you to get a heat pumpEnglish24·1 year agoSorry I thought everybody here understood personal sacrifices will need to be made in order to solve the climate change problem. Apparently not, we just like to blame corporations for selling us the things we demand (like gas heating)

Contestant@lemmy.worldto politicus@kbin.social•House Republicans are moving forward with a bill that would overhaul student-loan repayment and make it harder for Biden to get relief to borrowersEnglish5·1 year agoAll I hear is complaining without any alternative candidate being proposed. You going to vote RFK? And you think he’ll be better than Biden? Real life involves making decisions between 2 imperfect things. Biden is far from perfect but he is still the best candidate who is willing to actually run.
