So either no one with a car does anything in Europe or it's possible with a smaller car.

It may be worth saying that everything in America is bigger than its European counterpart, to a first approximation. You can tell that Tesla's are designed for an American market by just how fat the back is compared to (say) a Mercedes S-class - it still fits on the road but it's very voluptuous

The Tesla Model S is 77" (196 cm), and the Mercedes S-Class is 75" (190 cm).

it wasn't a model S, and I don't mean the width I mean the amount of junk in the trunk(volume) the thing had.

Mercedes S class is 510l boot. A Tesla model 3 is 425. Also smaller than an Audi A4 or BMW 3 series.
