Why can't low cost car have bigger body? If the whole car cost 10k, maybe they can enlarge the body with extra 2k.



Bigger body = higher shipping cost because bigger and heavier, also they need a bigger battery or put up with less range for the extra weight, the heavier battery itself has weight so they need even more weight still to counteract that. So maybe they'd be able to add an inch or two for 2K, then what's the point of that?
