Trucks have done a weird thing in the United States and many other countries. The full-sized pickup trucks (1/2 ton and up) grew immensely, dwarfing the trucks of the ’90s and earlier.

Clean Technica: By Stiffing Tesla, Texas Legislators Prove That They Don’t Really Value Freedom000924
The Texas legislative session is coming to an end, and a bill that would have allowed Tesla (and other EV manufacturers) to directly sell vehicles in the state died in committee.
