Yeah, well, sedans and hatchbacks don't tow my caravan into the Victorian High Country.
I'll gladly switch to an EV offroader once I know it's capable of getting my family and I to where we're going, and home again.
This, or something similar, is what many people think. I wonder how many days in a year these vehicles are actually seeing that intended use, though. So many people seem to buy these large, inefficient vehicles with the intent of using them off-road and/or on family holidays, but what they actually end up using them for 99.9% of the time is just daily suburban commutes. It makes zero sense.
I literally see everyday these idiots with their giant "trucks" pulling their caravans up the east coast. The funny part is they can't even seem to tow them with any degree of confidence or at a suitable speed most of the time. I then see someone in a more humble vehicle that is towing a similar caravan with speed and confidence. It is more a mental issue of size,size,size makes me better.
