In north america we have the obese Mustang MachE
I know. The "Mustang" Mach-E is a common sight around here, along with a s***load of Teslas, so I didn't even think of it when I saw the new "Capri" commercial.
Norway has insane taxes on new cars, but electric cars are completly exempt from these taxes, making them artificially cheap compared to petrol/diesel cars. Or the other way around, depending on how you see it.
In 2024, 89% of all new private cars sold in Norway were fully electric, and so far in 2025 the number is 96%.
Heck, I even drive a BMW i3 myself, but at least that's an honest and partly successful attempt of creating something new and fresh. And it's mostly plastic and carbon fibre, so it doesn't even rust, which is a very common problem when driving on salted roads half the year. But then again, it will get stuck in 10 cm of snow, on flat ground...
So luckily we also have a Skoda Octavia 1.8T 4x4, which rusts like hell and smells like petrol all the time, just like a real car should.
Sadly, when our kids grow up, the only place we will be able to drive a smelly, noisy petrol car is in our simulators. I'm going to install a petrol-and-exhaust-smell emitter in my rig pretty soon. Or perhaps just soak the carpet in petrol and let it dry out, the smell will never go away, trust me.
