> Why do EV companies keep making this customer hostile decision?

Because it eliminates the headliner and insulation, which allows the roof to be an inch shorter while maintaining the same interior headroom. The has a direct impact on frontal area, which, in turn, has a direct impact on aerodynamic drag.

Reduced drag means greater range (or the same range with a smaller, less expensive battery).

Did you guys see how Tesla nerfed the least expensive Model Y by keeping the glass roof _and_ covering it from the inside with the headliner so it _looks_ cheaper?
