This would be an insane thing for the EU to do. https://www.transportenvironment.org/articles/eu-cave-in-on-vehicle-trade-rules-will-cost-european-lives-as-us-pick-up-trucks-flood-into-europe @notjustbikes wants to move into reporting and get some kind of an interview with EU pols on this?

@zymurgic@mastodon.online @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I mean, sure, applying economic pressure is fine. But many of these vehicles are already illegal, lets not bother making them legal on EU roads.

@ednl@mastodon.social @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com I don't want the EV versions of these monstrosities either. Like, it's nice that the cybertruck isn't legal on EU roads. I don't want that to change.

@danbrotherston@types.pl @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com At least there is the fact that, one day, this will be regretted and the names of pols that signed off on it spat upon. A future beyond willful self-destruction may be all we have.
