Why does everyone immediately pivot to SUVs on this subject, instead of (looks around) gargantuan Tesla Model Ys that weigh as much as a Ford Bronco and EV trucks everywhere, due to peculiarities of US consumer habits and the demand for huge vehicles to pick up groceries?

Aren't Tesla Model Y SUVs though?

No, they're crossovers. Closer to a hatchback.

I mean, they're literally called SUVs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_SUV

Even https://www.tesla.com/modely uses the term "Electric Midsize SUV"

huh well TIL, thank you. My definitions of Sports Utility Vehicle are outdated. They have almost no clearance, and the suspension is not tuned for anything more than small washboards.
