Yeah, I actually agree. I will say, driving the Lucid makes me a lot more comfortable because I’m *in* the heavier car, generally speaking, but once everybody has an EV I hope we will have figured out how to make them lighter.
For now, it’s certainly better to be in a heavy car than a light one. p = mv, after all
I agree that weight reduction would be a great thing to prioritize across the board. I also find it curious we suddenly are supposed to care about this now that we’re talking about EVs instead of SUVs.

Oh, I agree with that too. There are plenty of heavier cars on the highway. All I’m saying is as more EVs get popular, it’s very nice to be in a heavier car.
This became quite clear in a recent collision with an ‘05 Camry. Her vehicle was totaled, and mine had barely any visible damage and drove without issue - still plenty of parts to replace, but nowhere near hers. Also, in my cabin I felt barely a jolt (it was a low speed collision).
