Anything less than a fully battle equipped HumV is just a metal coffin. Here in PA we play dodge the tractor trailer on the road. Loser dies!

Incidence of single vehicle fatal crashes are higher in suv/trucks.
If I lived in Hyperbole PA, and played dodge the tractor trailer I would rather do it in a vehicle capable of, you know, dodging. The difference between a 5 star rated car and an often unrated large pickup truck/suv vs a Simi is likely close to nil yet the ability to stop turn and accelerate is not compromised by an extra 3000 lbs false sense of security.
Is Bigger Safer? It Ain't Necessarily So
If the Ello handles good enough, and meets their target goal for crash survivability I would definitely consider one.
