Measuring 5,060 mm long, 1,967 mm wide, and 1,483 mm tall, with a 2,960 mm wheelbase, the Formula S sedan is slightly bigger than the Tesla Model 3. The GT measures 5,025 mm in length.

Slightly? It's bigger than an S class Mercedes.

At least it's not van height.

    I really do not understand extremely long cars. Like, maybe it's just my Euro mind speaking, but isn't the whole point of EVs clean and affordable short distance (for now) urban/city transport? How does the city part pair with a 5 meter long car?? And anyways, I hate the push for EVs under the guise that they should be used in cities - urban transportation should be done by public transport or alternative means, such as bikes and walking. Swapping usual cars for EVs doesn't solve anything except for getting rid of the smoke pollution, which, ok, I admit, is not bad at all, but still...

    No. It's just a different type of engine. People didn't start buying EVs just because they're green and cheaper to drive. They buy them because it's superior technology. A bit like how in RC hobby nitro buggies used to be the shit back when batteries still sucked but nowdays electric ones are much faster and more powerful. There's no reason to buy one with a combustion engine unless you specifically like the mechanics and tinkering with it.
