This is an artifact of the battery supply crunch. If you're going to make a car battery right now, you should put it into something high end with a huge margin, that will help your brand make a big splash with the wealthiest buyer.

I hate that so many of these are twice as large and powerful as they need to be. I'm already seeing that rather than doing a reset of consumer expectations with this new generation (and improving safety, efficiency, environmental impact, speed of transition to electrified vehicles...), we're doubling down on the "huge SUV, fuck everyone else on the road, got mine" model.
