Paris aims to drive large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) out of its centre by hiking parking fees for heavy cars in the French capital, and it plans a citizens' vote on the proposal early next year.
Not sure where you pulled 8000lbs from, even a fully speced out expedition isn’t going to be 6000lbs. Most non full sized ones, especially ones like the CRV or escape or something are under 4,000lbs. A model 3 weighs more than the majority of those smaller SUVs.
Don’t try to take this as any sort of pro-suv or anti-ev message, quite the opposite. Spouting incorrect bullshit makes people less likely to believe the actual facts, such as the increase of SUVs and trucks quite literally killing us.
The ford excursion was 7600, but hasn’t been made since 2005. Large SUVs are all around the 6000 lb mark. The only modern SUV heavier than 8000 is the all electric hummer weighing in at over 9000lbs.

My truck weights 4400lbs. What SUV is 8000?
