> given how brutal repair costs or more frequent changes of those big tires & brakes are, but still, they have a warm fuzzy feeling about it

Regarding brakes: that is pretty far from the truth as other sibling commented they use regenerative braking.

Tires - yeah. Well, except minivan or some pickups weights the same as Tesla so it is not like out of ordinary.

Sorry my bad, it actually makes sense re brake pads.

And those bigger cars - thats not majority on Swiss(=european) roads, we have tons of narrow roads, parking spots are short and narrow too. Roads with traffic generally look very different compared to US.
