    Right? It’s not because people don’t want them, it’s because people don’t want the specific ones they’re selling and people want to be able to get from point a to b in them. I want one but I also have a pretty fuel efficient vehicle with low miles because I basically drive to the grocery store and maybe one other place each week so I’m sure as shit not trading it in for a massive vehicle that costs 3x more than it needs to.
