Why would they make something that's like 5% of market share? Tiny car + huge SUV (YL doesn't count) makes far more sense.

- MrBuddyCasino 6mo agoSUVs are popular because 1) old people can get into them more easily 2) women feel safe in them (they aren’t safer) 3) higher position == better overview I don’t think those are compelling reasons for a family to own an SUV over a van, considering their disadvantages (size, high loading sill, efficiency, stability). Yes everyone is wrong, particularly the childless.
- dzhiurgis 6mo agoI own both, albeit older van and SUV (model y). I do like van a lot, and kids were probably more excited than when getting a Tesla. Agility is not comparable. For cargo, Tesla is surprisingly good. As we speak I'm planning to pick up a 2meter tall hot water cylinder (heat pump baby). I think telling people what they should do is a bad idea. On paper I should choose a wagon (I love reclined drive position). But I don’t think I ever will tho.
- MrBuddyCasino 6mo agoSUVs are fine in the US, there is enough space and the speed limit is low. In European cities parking is just a PITA, and frankly using up all that space with a huge car is impolite.
