Where it sits
Among the 14 vehicles & ships on this page Tesla Model 3 ranks 14th from the top by size. The largest in the group is Emma Maersk at 397 m, which is 84.6× the size of Tesla Model 3.
Stand an adult of 1.7 m beside it and the ratio is 2.76×: you would need 2 people stacked head to foot to match its size.
In everyday distances
It fits inside a football pitch 22 times over — a pitch is about 105 m and Tesla Model 3 is only 4.69 m.
Walking at an easy 1.4 m/s you cover 4.69 m in 3.4 seconds. A jet at 900 km/h covers it in 19 milliseconds.
Next to its neighbours in size
The nearest thing larger than it in this collection is saltwater crocodile at 5.2 m (17.1 ft), 1.11× the size. Both figures are the same kind of measurement, so the gap is a fair one.
The nearest thing smaller is great white shark at 4.6 m (15.1 ft), so Tesla Model 3 is 1.02× as big as it. They come from different groups — animals against vehicles & ships — which is what makes the pairing interesting.
Against fixed yardsticks
Against three fixed yardsticks — Eiffel Tower (330 m) is 70.4× the size of Tesla Model 3; blue whale (29.9 m) is 6.38× the size of Tesla Model 3; Earth (12,742 km) is 2,716,844× the size of Tesla Model 3.
How this figure was taken
Vehicles are listed by overall length. Rockets are the exception and are given as full stack height standing on the pad. Everything is drawn standing upright so one scale holds.
How the sizes are taken. Each figure says what it measures — height, length, diameter or elevation — and for which individual or convention. Everything is drawn standing upright on one baseline so a single scale holds, including things that are long rather than tall. Values come from the linked Wikipedia article for each item.
