@ulrichkelber kommt drauf an wie Mensch "#Auto" definiert.

• Klar wenn ich mich nicht an EG-Fahrzeugklassr M1 halten muss, ist der #OpelRocksE / #CitroenAmi das "billigste Auto" (bzw. jeder andere #Kabinenroller!)

Problem ist die #Enshittification und #Enfattening von #Autos welches sich per #Gierflation zeigt!

This would be a good shift to combat the #Enfattening and #Enshittification of #cars!

• OFC as @notjustbikes, @SheDrivesMobility and #AdamSomething will point out, this does not give Governments from #EU to #City and #County an excuse to slack off on #CyclingInfrastructure, #PublicTransport and #WalkableNeighbourhoods, but at least it's a step away from shoving more bullshit into #cars and to counteract the trend to sell way too expensive, #thicc and heavy "#luxury" cars!

#PersonalLightVehicles

And It's not as if I'm the only one saying that we need #PLVs instead of #SUVs...

• Like #AlinaRacu ran the numbers and it's clear we can't do "#BusinessAsUsual!"...

#PLV #SUV #Mobility #BEV #EV #electric #ElectricCars #Cars #Enfattening

Instead of pushing for the #Enfattening of #cars and subsequent #Enshittification with literal #ransomware by putting heating and rear-wheel - steering behind a #subscription-based #paywall the #CarIndustry needs to fucking learn from #Japan and take a look at #KeiCars!

• For those who don't know, a #KeiCar is basically a #PersonalLightVehicle with a restricted build volume & power output dictated by maximum dimensions and displacement and #engineers in #Japan really took that and basically build everything from a sleek "#DriftMachine" to a "#MiniVan" to a "#MiniTruck"...

(Shoutout to @tikibunnyimports which bring these things into the #US! - #NotSponsored but I do have to give credit where it's due...)

But because the #Enfattening of #Cars - espechally in the #USA but elsewhere too - is increasing #Lethality.

@MattHatton nodds in agreement

The #Enfattening and #Enshittification of #tech is neither #sustainable nor should it be accepted, respected, gone along with or allowed to begin with.

• #WastefulComputing should be outlawed just like #PlannedObsolescence and "#ReducedLifecycle" in #tech...

Jokes aside, the #Enshittification and #Enfattening of #Cars as well as spread of #CarCentrism #Propaganda from the #USA is a massive issue.

• #Affordable, #accessible and #available #PublicTransport is a non-negotiable necessity even if we don't give a fuck about #ClimateChange simply because at this rate, people will soon be unable to afford anything.

#Greedflation needs to be actively combatted by #regulation and that also means setting the right #incentives...

• For example, keeping Public Transport affordable and thus induce demand (See #DeutschlandTicket) is one way.

• Another Option is to prioritize #PersonalLightVehicles over #SuperUselessVehicles in terms of #RoadTax, #Parking and #regulation.

The #Netherlands were once almost as #CarCentric as the #USA [ @notjustbikes can propably vouch for that looking into the History, digging up 1960s & 1970s Amsterdam as example.] but they chose to do something about it with the fact that as a #German I can vouch for the fact that the Netherlands have excellent roads and far less traffic due to viable alternatives.

@danderson yes, because youwant that shit simple and you want the brake light to illuminate regardless of how hard the pedal gets tipped.

• Also yes the #Enfattening and #Enshittification of cars is more often than not dependent on the overcomplexity of cars.

@Nephele @forstgarten Nein, sondern halt aus den 80ern.

• Weil die verfettenden Autos schon damals nicht in die 1950er-Garagen passten!

Ist ne Tiefgarage, kein Parkhaus und hat weder Lüftungsanlage noch CO-Warnmelder noch Löschpinkler an der Decke!
