The only thing there that it doesn’t fit is “primarily on roads” the weakest part of the definition because there are plenty of off-road cars.

A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, seat 1–8 people, have four wheels, and mainly transport people rather than cargo.

1·11 hours agoboats are not a variety of car, but also boats didn’t replace horses? tractors are in no way meaningfully different from a car.

1·23 hours agoYes there are good points but the initial premise that it’s a myth is wrong, I did read the article.
Horses were still used for many things still when those existed. They were fully replaced by the ICE
Yo combustion engines did in fact replace horses though… This is like just denial. Name a case where someone actually prefers a horse for actual work that isn’t just about the novelty of having a horse do it…
People ride in the tractor, the hitch has cargo but saying a car with a hitch isn’t a car is absurd.
You saying a boat is closer because of this nonsense point is insane. Also a truck is a car, but can primarily move cargo.
