I'll just repost the parent post to show how irrelevant this is to this specific thread:

I don’t think the issue is the daily basis. It’s the few long trips people take yearly that would blast that 200 mile range out. People don’t want to buy a very expensive new car that they know won’t work for them several times a year. It’s the same reason people who tow something several times a year make sure their vehicle can tow that.

Because renting a vehicle for a trip or to tow is actually a PITA and expensive.
