I actually prefer higher ground clearance because of the shitty roads on my city. Potholes and random deep dips on intersections can easily mess up the undercarriage of the car, let alone an EV with batteries there. The thinner tires I agree are not good.
I have shitty roads, too, so I get that.
But high ground clearance with rubber band tires and fragile alloy rims doesn’t make sense.
Though I’ve seen plenty of giant SUVs with the same setup so maybe I’m just weird.
No, I am weird.
