Ugh yeah, I'm an Uber driver and it being a cheap EV that also qualifies for comfort rides would really make my life better but I just can't support the Nazi. I'm kinda jazzed about the slate truck, but I'm sure it's bad for leftists someway somehow. Living under the thumb of capitalism is tough

    slate truck, but I’m sure it’s bad for leftists someway somehow

    I'm not familiar with it. But what's its front-on visibility like? How many children can sit in a line in front of it before you can see them? How tall would someone have to be before a crash results in someone being knocked over the car, rather than being run over? (The former being generally much safer.) The problem with many of these types of vehicles that Americans call "trucks" is that their insanely tall bonnets make them insanely dangerous to pedestrians and cyclists—especially children.

    It seems like it's slightly lower profile than a Ford Maverick and doesn't seem to employee the sloped hood shape that's better when it's between the 30in-40in range. Which it doesn't appear to be in. I'm kind of leaning towards the ionique? Ionic? The Hyundai. The other issue I'm working with is that I have a tall frame and sitting in a sedan all day is pretty uncomfortable which makes driving longer hours intolerable. Knock on wood I haven't hit any pedestrians but I do do a lot of driving and it's entirely possible that's because of driving a sedan where I can see. It is a worthwhile consideration. But it would be nice. So many considerations

    Just looking at the Maverick online, it seems a fairly obscenely tall bonnet in the 2022 models, but older models are much more reasonable.

    ionique? Ionic

    I think it's spelt Ioniq. They're a brand I quite like, and looking at their recent lineup (I think the last time I looked at them was like 2021), the Ioniq 3, 5, and 7 all seem really good. The 9 stretches things a bit, but is still a hell of a lot better than the Maverick 2022.
