It's 12' / 3.65m in diameter. Model Y is 1.92m wide, so you just open the door and walk out. Here's a picture: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/04/11/00/415953

The license plate is 12 inches wide, so you about 1.5 feet of walkway on each side of the car, 3 feet if the car pulls over.
Here's the London subway: https://www.myuksimcard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Greater-London.jpg https://www.myuksimcard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/...
Some newer lines have very narrow walkways on the side, but Toronto's subway operator explicitly says you have to use tunnel and avoid signals, tracks and the 3rd rail. https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/safety-and-security/emergency-evacuation-procedures https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/safety-and-security/emerge....

I really fail to see the superiority of subways here.
- Doxin 5y agoFair enough. Those tunnels are wider than I initially thought. Still, it's putting a lot of faith in the ventilation systems. That said the comparison to the london underground is hardly fair. For starters it has emergency exits in the front giving a LOT more space for egress than the tesla. Not to mention that trains catching fire is much rarer than cars (of any sort) catching fire. I simply don't trust teslas to have gotten reliable enough for small diameter tunnels without service tunnels to not be a problem. Tesla seems to be reinventing the train poorly.
