Size comparison - GMC Sierra

My Aptera model just arrived from the 3D printer and I got a 1:43 scale model of my current vehicle - a GMC Sierra 1500.

Basically it looks like the wheel track is slightly wider and overall width, including the wheel pants, is basically as wide as the truck with mirrors extended. This is not ideal as I do have to fold the mirrors when I park in some spots in town. However, it's not as extreme as I made it out to be in my head. I'm thinking this will be doable where I live and drive. Actual driving won't be a problem. It's just parking that's still giving me some pause here.

Thanks @Kerbe #12705 here's an update based on the 8.5 foot wide bays which they indicated as their narrowest dimension. This is definitely a "mirrors in" type situation for my truck, but the Aptera still looks OK because the widest part of the car does not line up with the widest part of the adjoining vehicle. In reality, I would park it as far back in the bay as possible to protect the wheels from other distracted drivers.
