Our 2017 Tesla Model 3 sedan had no trouble hauling an extra-large hardtail mountain bike with 29-inch wheels right there in the trunk.

Another option is to buy a device that fits in the right rear drop-out that holds the chain in place when the rear wheel is removed, I have versions sold by Cinelli and Salsa. I used this technique to carry my 53cm fixie in the front seat of my Lotus Elise, with both wheels removed and held between the (upside-down) frame and the passenger door (held together with a cord).
I've also carried bikes in my Audi 4000s Quattro upside down in the rear footwell, (rear seat-backs didn't fold), either by removing the front wheel and turning the fork, or loosening the stem and rotating the handlebar (to fit in the footwell. Racks are convenient, but it's nice to lock the bike inside.
