Okay this makes no sense. What about semi trucks or anything commercial? Did we decide decades ago that they can just fuck off and die?

that's really interesting! I never really thought about how much weight the EVs haul around - and i imagine that the NTSB or whomever is actually responsible for guard rails didnt either. of course, guard rails dont do much for delivery vans or semi trucks - those both weigh in excess of 10,000 lbs. perhaps they're not considered due to commercial vehicle regulations?

Stupid post. 60,000 lb semi laughs.

Seems like we need some regulation for maximum car weight to be. It's a safety thing now
