That's an excellent point, EV doesn't have that offroad cheat. Please ignore me shouting into the void about the general market trend of making everything bigger.

I can't truly say I hate these compromises to keep something smaller than an SUV. I had a Geo Tracker for a while and enjoyed the higher seat height without actually driving a large vehicle. It was so short (2 door) that it didn't really impede others' vision, especially when I removed half the roof.
