Yeah one of the things that made me hate tesla early on is their refusal to make anything other than standard oversized cars, like for fuck's sake they even keep the front bit and put a storage area in it, that's absurd!
And really it's a general problem with the vehicle market, including micromobility. We need more stuff that's between moped and bicycle, and stuff that's between car and motorbike.
America has a more decent selection of sub-moped options, and europe at least has a couple brands of moped cars but they.. have a distinct hot-wheels vibe which doesn't exactly inspire confidence..
And i think we've seen evidence of how much demand there is for these in-between vehicles, e-bike and e-scooters have exploded in popularity.
