"customers prefer SUVs" means "customers prefer lifted station wagons branded as SUVs"
- chrisseaton 8y agoI don't understand these naming conventions either! Someone told me the Model X was an SUV - I thought it was a hatchback! I mean it's the same outline as something like a Volkswagen Golf isn't it? Why is one an SUV and the other a hatchback?
- mikeash 8y agoAn SUV is a minivan for people too embarrassed to drive a minivan. Which is to say, no sliding doors.

Every SUV I looked at consumes about 10-15% more gas than the equivalent station wagon - this is bonkers, even when looking at pure economics. But hey, it's a car, it gives you the freedom to roam wherever you want... As long as someone paved the road and you have the cash to pay the fuel bills (which you arguably have to work for) - what a nice, free and independent life!
