      Lol. I have a 2500, and it’s borderline too much truck, even in my line of work. It’s flat out stupid for just day to day commuting. And their marketing sure does go after egomaniacal dumdums.

    Ram trucks drive like fucking assholes so I believe this. Damn near any time you see one of those lifted Dodge trucks on the highway you can assume they’ll behave like a jerk if given the opportunity.

    And as far as Teslas go, I really do not think people should have cars that accelerate that fast. People are dumb as shit and Tesla’s slowest model has a 0-60 of under 6 seconds and a lot of their cars are sub 4 seconds. That’s super car territory.

      Super car acceleration, normal car braking.

      It’s not a great combination in a car that’s heavy, but I guess you don’t sell cars by bragging about braking distances.

        Tires moreso than brakes. Ultra low rolling resistance tires help increase range. But they’re crap for high acceleration/deceleration. Not sticky enough (by design) to work in those situations.

      I agree, but what to do about owners of supercars then? It’s not like if they have any particular training to operate them safely, for the most part.

    Headline: Tesla drives desperate to show they’re not this biggest assholes on the road.
