A Tesla Model S is almost 2 meters wide. That's wildly impractical everywhere in Europe.


Most cars in Europe are 1.7-1.9 meters wide.


Yes. Compact cars are usually 1.8m wide, subcompacts are usually around 1.7m, and bigger cars are about 1.9m. 2m puts a Tesla Model S in "midsize van" territory. Thats the size where you start having problems in some spots. For a private car, that's impractical.
