I like my Smart EV. From the outside, it is as long as most cars are wide, can U-turn as right as a Tesla Cyber truck, if not tighter, and can get me from A-B daily, charging overnight off a regular household outlet.

There still exist cars in 2023. It's not just SUV's available on the lot.

People just want them, because of grocery trips or a kid in school sports or whatever.

Whether most of them actually need that SUV space is something up for debate, but it's gonna be hard to convince the average American (already in love with full SUV's) to just switch away.

I don’t need the space but I’m beginning to think I need an suv due to the ridiculous visibility problems they cause and constantly being blinded at night.

You haven't looked at a Ford dealer lately, have you? They literally don't make cars anymore, except for the Mustang (and even then they'd probably rather sell you a "Mustang Mach-E," which is an SUV).

Industry analysts are praising Ford's decision and other automakers are following in its footsteps.
