    Well, people first need to want to buy these things. When they realize they are unable to park those things properly, due to our infrasturcture not being made for them, they will return them back.

      Unfortunately, no, you give people too much credit. It’s a status symbol to assholes, and assholes beget assholes. People need to treat them like Teslas were during the DOGE debacle.

      The people who buy this will feel fantastic about parking them like assholes in a way that it bothers people.

      People in the NL already buy them, despite there being no way to park them.

      You need like 10 idiots in a million-large city and you can already feel it have a negative effect on traffic.

      Or they park in the most obnoxious places. I once saw a father waiting to pick up his kid in one, with 2 wheels on the pavement and his engine idling. This was in the eu and it had a typical macho pickup configuration: all black, spotless, tinted windows. I’d prefer it if those dickheads continued driving bmw’s instead of pickups, much less annoying when they’re tailgating you.
