Why drive a SUV anyway? The climate collapse should force all of humanity to live more modest lives, the time of consumerism is over.

Doubt. A car doubles it's CO2 output from manufacturing in around 3-10 years, depending on size. There's no way an SUV EV hasn't recouped the difference in manufacturing CO2 vs a gas SUV by like year 1.
The point is SUVs and large cars are using up limited resources and if it takes significantly more battery material to make a battery for a heavy car it might make more sense to prioritize smaller car manufacture.
Or like lawnmowers and mopeds, which typically have unfiltered exhausts

Wait, so scientists are saying Tesla Cybertrucks were a bad idea? That doesn't make any sense, Elmo is a genius.
Ketamine use doesn't make you a genius, it just makes you feel like one 🤣
