Not op, but I really liked this video, as it explains quite a bit. It is of course a biased video, but still…

I watched most of the video, it’s primarily about safety. It’s says the growth is mainly due to the regulations not applying the same to light trucks, which SUVs are classified as. This seems to contradict the claim that I was asking about.
If there is something about the state subsidizing the vehicles and I missed it, I would appreciate a time stamp. Noone needs to convince me that suvs are unsafe and an environmental disaster.

In the US it is called the 179 deduction. For trucks over 6, 000 lb gross vehicle weight you can deduct the top price for the year the truck is put in service.

Thanks for the citation, I’ll look into it. Although, 6k lbs is a massive car, as even an f150 doesn’t top it.
