Not just that but even a Model 3 is a huge car in Europe. The streets here are narrow, garages are smaller, parking is precarious. Its just too big.
Additionally outside of the Autobahn, you're driving through congested city streets where the speed and acceleration is of no value.
We need a Tesla sub-brand that can sell cheaper, slower and smaller cars.
- PeterStuer 6y agoInteresting as I assumed EV's biggest advantages would be in stop and go traffic, where there is frequent acceleration/deceleration inertia to overcome, and real net noise benefits which sort of go away above 35km/h.
- ArkVark 6y agoAbsolutely! But a €5,000 small EV with a max speed of 60km/h and a range of 100km would be totally fine for that. Step it up to a €10,000 slightly bigger EV with 80km/h and 200km and you satisfy even inter-city use. Renault offer the Twizy but I think its overpriced - perhaps deliberately to avoid cannibalizing their higher-priced regular cars.
- koffiezet 6y agoA model S - sure, that's a boat, but a model 3? Have you driven one? My car (Alfa Giulia) is bigger, and have very little issues here in Europe...
