Teslas really are not great cars

But today’s smaller, more fuel-efficient SUV models can actually be sensible vehicles, especially electrics or hybrids.

The small SUVs today are basically the form factor that’s between a minivan and a hatchback.

@scabpicker

But they’d all be more sensible if they were a minivan or a hatchback.

Naw, i bought a small SUV because it was enough smaller than a van to be significantly easier to park, but still large enough to carry a lot of gear to a square dance. I literally carried around my speaker stands when i shopped for cars, to make sure they’d fit.

(And the incredibly well designed Honda Fit almost passed that test.)

Those smaller, more efficient SUVs are still less efficient than the sedans that they share chassis with.

Probably, but having that fifth door in the back, and more headroom in the storage area, is very valuable. That’s why i like hatchbacks more than smaller sedans.
