    People don’t buy sedans anymore. They prefer SUVs or crossovers. Many produce affordable EVs at a much higher quality than Tesla.

    That being said, a BMW i4 in Europe isn’t much more expensive than a Model 3 LR. While somewhat less powerful, it’s a much better car reliability-wise. It’s also slightly more comfortable. There’s also the Hyundai Ioniq6.

      I think people do still buy sedans but more in the premium category. Examples like Mercedes, BMW as you mentioned, Lucid, Tesla, Audi all have sedans, even the Camry is still a popular car.

      But the general public have gone SUV for sure. However automakers have mixed views on SUVs when it comes to EV. They are easier to stuff batteries into but harder to get efficiency due to their shape. The better solution is a slippery sedan with flatter batteries, like the BYD Seal for example.

        Good point. I think the sedans are more popular in the US than in Europe, though. Coupe SUVs are all the rage in Europe.
