So true and (imho) thin walls are ugly. And less efficient for an EV.

    Bigger wheels for bigger brakes, which EVs need because of their massive weight.

    US EVs have massive weight, but the European ones do not, and Regen means smaller rotors.

    Only the US market is obsessed with stupid ranges that no one does daily. US EVs are just carrying around 1000lbs of excess battery, which takes energy.

    Funnily enough, i didn't cherry-pick the biggest one i could find—i cherry-picked the one i saw that said "EU market". lol
