>a 1.5T complex machine

The article talks about massive cars with lots of weight - 1500kg is on the light side of the story.

Indeed, I've only owned compact cars but never owned a car that weighted less than 1.5 short tonnes.

The base-model manual-transmission 2022 Civic comes in at 2877lbs, so is actually under 1.5 short tons.
