2013 Tesla Model S vs 2025 Ford Maverick
Which is bigger, the 2013 Tesla Model S or 2025 Ford Maverick?
Key dimensions: length, width, height
The 2025 Ford Maverick would require an extra 10.5 cm of garage space length compared to the more compact 2013 Tesla Model S. The 2025 Ford Maverick is the leaner of the two, sitting 11.9 cm narrower than the 2013 Tesla Model S for easier navigation through city traffic. Height heavily favours the 2025 Ford Maverick, which measures 31.3 cm taller than the 2013 Tesla Model S. The 5.6 cm increase in ground clearance from the 2025 Ford Maverick is just enough to make a positive difference on a gravel driveway vs the 2013 Tesla Model S. Even the 11.6 cm wheelbase advantage helps the 2025 Ford Maverick feel like a larger, more composed vehicle than the 2013 Tesla Model S.

Details
Doors, seats, weight, maneuverability
Both the 2025 Ford Maverick and 2013 Tesla Model S feature a 4-door configuration, offering the same level of accessibility for passengers. There is no advantage for either model when it comes to passenger numbers, since both offer a 5-seat configuration. Expect to put in a little more work in the 2025 Ford Maverick during tight turns, given its 0.9 m wider radius. At 322 kg lighter, the 2025 Ford Maverick is likely the more fun and engaging car to drive out of the two.

Parking
Will the 2013 Tesla Model S or 2025 Ford Maverick fit in a standard parking space?
2013 Tesla Model S parking fit score
DriveSize compares the car's width and length with typical parking-space sizes by region.
Vehicle dimensions are rounded up and available side or length clearance is rounded down.
Side clearance is based on body width where available; real spaces can vary because of mirrors, walls, pillars, kerbs, bay markings, and nearby cars.
For an average USA / Canada space: body side clearance is 39 cm per side, and length clearance is 26.5 cm at each end.
