That's only because you know wealth/high class people. I assure you there are plenty of people who will cram a family of five in a compact for a road trip, haul plywood on the roof of a sedan, throw a sofa in/on a station wagon, haul gravel with a compact pickup, etc, etc. They're just not people who are employed by tech companies shop at whole foods and browse HN. Shoehorning a vehicle into a use case for which it is a less than perfect fit is not how white collar professionals making tech money are expected to act. Vehicle suitability for any given task is inversely proportional to the average net worth of the occupants. The only way you get a free pass is if the vehicle is environmentally friendly and plastered in the kind of bumper stickers you expect on the back of a university professor's EV conversion project car. Then you're just "eccentric" and not low class.
