Azureth 687 September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 We have seen automobiles in some form or another in MLP, makes you wonder why they aren't more prevalent. Even in big cities such as Manehattan you have horses pulling horses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Seashell 206 September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 I don't think you need a car when flight or teleportation is an option. Or maybe ponies prefer to exercise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is probably pointless - if you have a horse driving a cab, its at least as compact (and cheaper) to have the horse pulling the cab. Must admit I can't remember seeing an automobile in MLP; carts, flying carts, flying chariots and other horse-pulled conveniences, and a train. which sometimes gets pulled by horses too, because horses.... but no cars. you got an episode ref or two for that? ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirage 24,777 September 17, 2017 Share September 17, 2017 Horses and ponies love to pull. Ponies are very strong, very hardly, long lived and intelligent animals. They enjoy working (as long as there is good incentive). “Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing you have received--only what you have given.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerGeekGuy 4,664 September 21, 2017 Share September 21, 2017 There were go-karts in The Cart Before the Ponies, floats in One Bad Apple, and the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 in the episode of the same name. Whether or not these run entirely on magic is unclear, since they don't appear to have any form of exhaust, but they do use oil and engine parts. The float and karts are also seen to use a steering wheel, stick shift, and foot (hoof?) pedals. Ponies may not use automobiles for anything more than special occasions or to fulfill a very specific and practical need, (similar to clothing). @Midnight Seashell also makes a good point.

heavens-champion 1,907 September 21, 2017 Share September 21, 2017 Honestly, I think it's because it would make walking redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
