Why Are High-View Vehicles Not Practical?

[BrielleLee]

High-view vehicles are not practical due to their low configurations and incomplete functionality. Here is a partial introduction about automotive power: Calculation formula: Power P = Speed V * Traction Force F. Therefore, the product of F and V determines the vehicle's power. The vehicle's power determines its speed, while torque determines its acceleration. Rated power: Rated power refers to the power when an electrical appliance operates normally. Its value is the rated voltage of the appliance multiplied by the rated current. If the actual power of the appliance is greater than the rated power, the appliance may be damaged; if the actual power is less than the rated power. Relationship between power and speed: Under normal operating conditions, the output power of a power device or the input power of an energy-consuming device. It is often measured in "kilowatts." It also refers to the power that a machine produced in a factory can achieve during normal operation. That is, the commonly referred power of a machine. The rated power of a machine is constant, P=Fv, so the force generated by the machine is inversely proportional to its operating speed. For example, when a car is driving on a flat asphalt road, the required traction force F is smaller, allowing for higher speeds; when the road is uneven or going uphill, a larger traction force is required, necessitating a switch to lower speeds.

High-ground-clearance vehicles are not very practical in real life, mainly due to their high chassis design, which makes parking difficult. Parking spaces in cities are often narrow, especially in underground parking lots or crowded streets, and I always worry about scraping other cars or pillars. Fuel consumption is also an issue—the heavy body and high wind resistance mean that a full tank burns quickly, especially in city traffic jams, making it costly. Handling is not agile either; turning feels like steering a boat, with noticeable swaying that can easily cause motion sickness. Safety is also subpar—the high center of gravity makes it prone to losing control during sharp turns or in bad weather. For daily use, although the space is large, much of it is impractical, making actual cargo loading less convenient than imagined. I prefer compact cars as they are more practical and cost-effective.

From an economic perspective, high-profile vehicles are impractical due to their high costs. They're expensive to purchase initially, insurance premiums rise significantly, and frequent refueling makes my wallet ache every time. Maintenance isn't cheap either, with large parts prone to breaking, leading to costly repairs. They're inefficient in urban areas, consuming about 30% more fuel than sedans, though they perform better on long trips—short distances just waste gas. While their tall cabin design offers space, boarding and alighting are strenuous, especially for elderly and children, unlike more practical and fuel-efficient station wagons. For true convenience, hybrid or new energy vehicles are more eco-friendly and economical choices.

High-position strollers are impractical due to their cumbersome handling. The tall body makes them drive like a tank, with slower turning response, making them prone to scratches in narrow urban alleys. Their unstable center of gravity causes severe shaking at high speeds, which is even scarier on highways during windy days. High fuel consumption and rapid battery drain make long trips troublesome. The spaciousness is deceptive, as the ride is bumpy, leading to backaches and fatigue during prolonged driving. It's advisable to choose models with a lower center of gravity for better stability.
