Today I wrote to Tesla Motors:
I understand you are designing the final prototype of the Model X.
Please consider the size of the Autobahn in Germany. We have a lot of work done on the Autobahns. In areas where there are workers present, there are only two lanes. The right lane is used mainly by trucks going very slowly. The left lane is oftentimes limited to cars of less than 200 cm in total width (including mirrors), sometimes they give us 210 cm.
With my model S I need to always use the right lane during road work. I am forced to drive slowly between bis trucks, an intimidating situation.
So if possible, don't make the Model X 201 cm or 211 cm wide. Make it 200 cm or less or 210 cm or less.
Thank you from Germany and Europe (just talk to our Italien friends).
