Even if it’s true, if the automakers can’t collect data on you, and also get the biggest profit margin possible (read: big expensive cars cost about the same as little simple ones to produce), they aren’t going to make them.

That's not true. The battery cost remains a substantial part of their cost, and is expensive for big and small vehicles.

We're only just reaching the point now where costs have come down and it's even possible to consider smaller vehicles that would be competitive and profitable.
