8. "Americans love big cars and don't want to change" In response to In response to 0
I honestly think a big part of it is Americans love those obnoxious extended cab trucks and oversized SUVs and just don't want to give them up. The car companies have done an excellent job in selling the lie of a bigger car is more safe, a bigger car grants higher status, a bigger car is needed to carry shit, and people have eaten it up hook, line, and sinker.
What we need to do imo is start taxing more heavily those gigantic shits and make people actually pay for the societal harm they do.
Additionally, Tesla has been the face of EVs for the past few years, and given how much bad press they've had, people associate EVs with Tesla/Elon.
