Pulling up behind a Cybertruck and a DeLorean has truly been the double rainbow of my day.

it makes the delorean look practical.
i drive a 20+ year old car, and it 99% of the time, it is the smallest vehicle in parking lot or on the road. by comparison, i am one of the larger adult sons (6' ~250 lb) in the parking lot or on the road, and i don't feel cramped in the car. it is batshit how huge everything else on the road is, including the current year versions of the thing i drive. vehicles that barely fit into parking spaces and are always crowding over. they have to be navigated around and i must always give way like they're a container cargo ship maneuvering a narrow shipping lane, because they might not see my little tug from their vantage on the weather deck.
not to mention the trucks, sized similar to the commercial ones i saw in japan that were hauling 4 tons of gravel down the highway. except in the states, they are just hauling one american to the food box for their hourly sugar blaster with extra mayo-cheese sauce.
answer to that would be slash and burn deregulation, but better regulations that didn't allow that kind of bullshit upward trajectory would obviously be better.
