crossovers and suvs are the same thing in my book. I know they're different somehow, but not a fan of either so I just really don't care
imo its as dumb as calling the Prius a liftback sedan, its a fucking hatchback
dense shard
I didn't know you could liftback a sedan.
ah... here we go. So apparently a liftback is a style of hatchback... but with a ridiculous rear window angle.
... not a sedan to say in the least.
civic girder
yea, tell that to whoever classified the Prius as a liftback sedan
dense shard
@whoeverdidit You are wrong
Like damn people be bending over backwards to not call something a hatchback.
"It's not a hatchback it's a... uhhhhhhh, a truncated sedan with enhanced cargo room."
"It's not a station wagon, it's a sportwagen"
dense shard
All joking aside.
VW aside, I think hatchbacks are among the most stylish cars on the road today.
Mazda might be too stylish, but w/e.

If u ever were to ask yourself if the Cybertruck is too large for European roads...
Ask yourself, if the Mercedes Sprinter is too large for European roads.
Why? The Sprinter is larger in every regard.
Its over 10cm longer than the Cybertruck btw.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/511004001664237588/834412559574237184/CT-ST.png
Cybertruck length: 588,5cm
Sprinter default: 598,6cm
The long Version of the Sprinter is another Meter longer than this one.
civic spoke
I mean - It's not like we have a production version of the Cybertruck to go by.
dense shard
So a consumer truck is okay because a commercial product is larger?
dense shard
And yeah I'd argue that a Sprinter is too big for the average consumer.
The only reason this shit isn't too big in the US is because the roads are wide enough to account for the bad drivers.
fathom socket
So a consumer truck is okay because a commercial product is larger?
Pickups are light duty vehicles, which goes along the same classification in Europe.
The Sprinter also is a light duty vehicle.
Though what might bring the Cybertruck in trouble could be weight, as light duty vehicles are only up to 3.5 Tons. Above that, theyre heavy-duty. Up to 7.5 respectively 12 Tons.

Elon Musk says a Tesla on Autopilot is 10 times less likely to crash than the average car, but experts say that stat is misleading
civic spoke
Tesla, Misleading? Who would have thought!
versed sentinel
fathom socket
I will start trusting autopilots, when it can keep track of a road which is non visible because of dirt or snow while its snowing or due to heavy rain and Arrange itself on the road appropiately that it allows for traffic from to opposite site. That it can Evaluate to slow down and get off the road if larger/broader vehicles are coming. That it works under those circumstances without any road marks and in offline mode regardless of its day or night.
Then I would say the Autopilot may be safer/superior to the average human.
Because we dont have the luxury of road markings, lightposts, mobile internet and road winter Service.
night current
Understandable tbh... I just wonder where Tesla gets their info from, and same for the experts.
I feel like when you're comparing a low volume of cars and their crashes compared to an entire country's car accidents it is a bit biased. (If this statistic is based in the US)
dense shard
It's a skewed statistic
Autopilot is used almost exclusively on the interstate.
Which reduces edge cases, and tends to be safer regardless

True.
