Because this post got a lot of flak, I just thought it was mildly interesting and some more posts on the sub would be great for engagement. I love cars to my bone and I want to see more activity on here. Could I have chosen a better article? Definitely.

I feel like cars will slowly start moving towards aerodynamic efficiency. Large gains could be had by committing to more efficient designs similar to the first gen Honda insight or Prius. Sure, large vehicles will still be desired and I'm sure we will get rock crawling EV's in due time but people may reconsider if they knew that an EV jeep wrangler would have a good chunk less range than a passenger car with the same battery. Manufacturers can cover this a bit nowadays with larger fuel tanks but I think that won't be as true in the future if we continue to measure range and efficiency as closely as we do with current EV's. Maybe we will see a shift from aesthetic design ruling the drawing board to aerodynamicists. One can only hope.
