One reason is that for a "little car you can toss around", the battery weight is a bit of a challenge. So starting with larger form factors makes sense where: -They are more popular anyway -The weight difference isn't as noticable

Comparing a few weights:

  • GTI: 3100 lbs
  • Bolt EV: 3500 lbs
  • Model 3: 3800 lbs
  • id3: 3900 lbs

That same weight isn't doable, but it seems like they can get close.
