Why are pickups such a suburban status symbol when few families need that much car?

Toyota making a statement

Just waiting for chuckles to que up and quote Guilbeault or Trudeau. Then state what does Toyota know.

Toyota will be irrelevant now , far right conspirator like Mr Moore

Isn't it funny how credible source seems to depend on the message, and not the credentials?
I guess you have to "believe" in science to understand how this works.

Toyota is a leader in hybrid technology and is planning the release of numerous long range plug in hybrids starting in 2026 using newer solid state batteries in partnership with panasonic.

Toyota also has hydrogen cars on the road.

PHEVs will mostly be running on EV which accomplishes the goal of reducing emissions.

Totally WRONG goal.

If nuclear SMRs are so good and so cheap for electricity why aren't there some in Canada and North America already? Whats the holdup because we have had decades to build them.

We have numerous older larger reactors but nobody really wants to build the big ones anymore because of the cost. And SMRs are the most expensive option because you lose the economies of scale. Some of them are similar in size to large wind farms.

SMRs have not been developed before now because we had cheap coal and gas. Personally I would have no problem hanging my hat on natural gas. Relatively cheap, abundant, flexible. Put them where we need them and avoid expensive transmission costs.
