they just want BIG vehicles for a really stupid reason
The reason is simple: it's fun.
And I think that's a stupid reason.
....
That doesn't mean I'm okay with it.
FTFY. Whether it's fun or "stupid" is subjective. Big trucks aren't something I find fun, but I appreciate and respect the fact that others do. I personally drive a V8 powered supercar because I find it fun to drive. That's why you need to go back and have a reading session with Webster's Dictionary or dictionary.com. I'm curious if you can name something that you do and that you would call "fun". I'm sure you can come up with things that you find "interesting", but what about "fun"?
If you want to drive a large vehicle for fun, then pay for it with a carbon tax.
They already do (as do I). It's paid for via the higher gasoline taxes we pay because the vehicles get lower MPGs. We therefore buy more gas. And if you want to play the environmental card, I've got 15 solar panels on my roof and an electric bill that ranges between $0 and $16. That savings buys me a lot of gas for my supercar.

The reason is simple: it's fun. You should look up that word ("fun") in the dictionary sometime.
I don't even blame Tesla too much for going for minimalism in its initial design/quote?
Are you talking the original sports car or the Model S? The latter wasn't minimalistic, it was a complete ripoff of a Mazda design.
