Just because you don’t want one, it doesn’t mean nobody else does. The vast majority of people here drive smaller cars.

You don't think that maybe they are being sarcastic as Tesla (and for a long time European manufacturers) didn't make a compact affordable EV.

“For a long time”

Still doesn’t. Model Y is pretty large.

And yes, 100% sarcasm. GM killed the Bolt because it was selling like hotcakes and replaced it with the hummer. And eventually the Blazer which was something like 15k more.

GM is not a European manufacturer. The Volkswagen ID3 is about the same size as the Bolt and sells pretty well for example.
