Big heavy sedans is not what they built their name on. Its not what their marketing and pedigree is based on.

No, but I'll bet it's what their current sales are based on (in addition to the SUVs)

the problem with EV is weight, adding weight kills performance and then you need bigger motors,
which need more batteries
compound problem

So why do they do records with bloated big cars with rear seats , thats weight
drop the rear seats
no rear Airbags, rear seats, trim,
smaller chassis
stiffer chassis (no opening between front and rear seats)
less batteries needed

They can build a car that weighs half a ton less for better performance and endurance.
Half a ton, less will handle better
brake better
accelerate better

The current Ring EV record is easily smashed with such a car. IF only they would build it

They want to make money, and I think the way to make money is building the bigger stuff.
