Calling Teslas small cars has to be one of the most American comment I’ve ever read. In Europe, they often stick out of parking spots cause they are bigger than the average car.
It’s definitely a relative statement. They are smaller than quite a bit of what they will meet on the road, and other manufacturers here have trucks and full size suvs in their lineup which would impact their fatality stats in a way that Tesla does not similarly benefit from.
