Almost everyone I know with an SUV only has one because “I might need the space someday!” And 99% of the time either leaves random shit in the back or it’s just empty.
Same things with trucks. That bed is almost always vacant.
But the one time they actually use it for the space, it’s suddenly all “see??? I sure am glad I bought a (blank)!”
There are a few exceptions I know, but if the ratio is anything consistent across America, it would explain a lot.
Meanwhile my friend who drives a Prius can fit a surprising amount of stuff in that hatch and still has better acceleration and gas mileage than any of them…
It’s interesting seeing how many around me have pickups essentially as a personality trait with a pristine bed. I only use a pickup when I absolutely need to because diesel is expensive and I get much better mileage in my sedan.
You’ve never driven one have you? Electric motors are crazy powerful and it’s all torque. My Prius can accelerate faster than my Tacoma. What you are seeing in people driving a Prius is trying to save gas by not accelerating hard. Just because they often don’t doesn’t mean they can’t when it’s needed.
You are being INTENTIONALLY obtuse at this point. They were comparing the Prius to a regular SUV. That’s literally why they pointed out the difference of an electric motor being all torque.
Read the room, look at context. It’s ok, we all had to grow up once.
Right, that Blimp person does not know how to drive obviously. As if every car has unlimited acceleration potential that can be simply unlocked by the human foot.

“Prius…better acceleration”
Lol

The fastest Prius on the planet is 0-60 in 7.1 seconds. The slowest Tesla on the planet is 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.
“Faster than my Tacoma”. Is it also faster than your mountain bike? Lol
They were talking about SUVs ya dip
Last I checked Tesla makes 2 SUVs.
No one can brag about the acceleration of a Prius with a straight face.

Are you having a stroke? They said SUV. The #1 selling SUV in the world is the model Y you dolt. STFU.
acceleration is normally determined by the driver’s foot far, far, far more than the car.
This is objectively false. Unless you can prove that someone’s foot can change a cars 0-60 time.
