1849mm, but you can fold the mirrors in to make it a bit narrower.

I believe the space is two meters wide,
if the width is 1850mm then it should fit as long as im careful however if its 2088mm it wont fit :/

will measure when i get home

Oh dear
I believe i have the smets 1 meter as it's now dumb as i moved to avro (cheapest for me)
I may have to change to a new provider, get them to install a new smart meter (hopefully SMETS2) then change to octopus just before the car arrives...
Need to make sure theres no exit fees and are they even doing smart meter installations with all thats going on.

hmmm

If your SMETS has the Secure logo Or the word Secure on it, you should be ok

Mirrors can auto fold at the location you park at. My garage entrance is tight and they fold as I arrive.

Actually 1933 with mirrors folded. The lower figure is without mirrors ... so unless you propose unbolt them ....

not according to the manual. In fact without any mirrors attached at all it's 1850 with mirrors folded 1933 and with mirrors extended 2088 ... these sizes are what our American cousins characterise as "a really tiny car".

 

[freekie]

It’s wide

 

[Sphinxhunter]

Okay so 1933 will be extremely difficult but doable
however i dont want the mirrors to auto extend and hit the wall?
does that make sense?

 

[LongRanger]

Dude just move house.

And also note that when reversing a Tesla for some reason the front and back are never in line
I have about 2-3" clearance each side with mirrors extended but always find it needs a bit of left hand down when the mirrors pass the doors...

 

[DaveW]

With the latest update at least if you fold the mirrors in (set it to do it at your house automatically) the reversing camera now lets you use the side cameras as well.

IOnly heard good things about the Agile tariff, does it take long to switch over from my current provider?

I've had a quote from the local lecy to fit a tethered ohme charger on thh side of my house next to the meter for £550+Vat - is this reasonable? (I can claim the VAT back as it's a company car)

I need to start looking at all the mods now!
- Window tints
- Dechrome
- Dashboard wrap
- Console Wrap

I think thats it so far but happy if anyone's got any recommendations?

P.S. It's my first tesla and my first brand new car,
I've had a old ford fiest as my first car, then a 3 year old bmw 1 series which was fairly quick and now im driving a 20 year old golf gti, however it has heated seats!
Test drove the tesla a week ago and was so impressed!

With youe recent car history you will scare yourself and any passengers if you floor it !

phew the space where i wanted to park is 2700mm, that leaves me 612mm
306mm each side but i'd get close to one side (100mm) and leave as much space as I can (probably 500mm) to get out of the door

Might have to fix something soft to the wall so i dont bang the door everytime i open it

A piece of old carpet works a treat

 

[Beady3647]

I have about 100mm to spare on the length of my garage for my MS. First thing I bought was a 600mm x 2000mm x 50mm piece of foam which I fixed to the rear wall and reverse up to each evening. Cost about £40 but invaluable IMHO.

 

[Sphinxhunter]

It's outside unfortunately not a garage,

I think a soft rubber mat might work better than carpet or foam, I need something waterproof.

Hmm

An exercise mat? They're cheap, resilient and waterproof.
