The part around trying to maneuver the car around a driveway and garage is a big part of why I think longer/overnight test drives are a great idea. Years ago we were x-shopping a Model S against a number of other EVs and the fact that it didn't fit into our garage space immediately eliminated it from consideration. Luckily we were a 10 minute drive from the Telsa store so could test this without a longer drive, but I'm guessing that not the case for the majority of car buyers.
