Wall Connector- what's a good product to put the cable thru underneath the garage door? I don't want any gaps for vermin to get in. If using something that wraps around cord, when charging ok to leave that piece on the cable and ok to leave it hanging but not touching the actual wall charger? I don't want to pinch the cable. For ease of use, I'd rather not be putting and taking off something off the cord. Thoughts?

Cable under garage, good pass thru

I got this and it not only works great, but it also looks pretty decent and it was cheap too (im also a huge fan of their phone cases). I was worried it would cause my garage door to close improperly but pleased to say that isn't a problem. It's also nice that it was designed with the OD of the Tesla wall charger/mobile charger cables in mind.

There are a number of products made of hard plastic that can be used, but if you're that concerned about mice or something similar, they can really squeeze through almost any tiny space. I'm not sure they would work with an automatic door opener either. I charged may car outside for the first six months of ownership, and had a bit of a gap in the rubber grommet on the bottom. I guess you could simply make a slice in that and then maybe stuff a rag into any gap that might appear. You could also install the Wall Connector on the outside - it's water proof. That way, no worries about this issue.

Install your wall connector on the outside of your garage if you don't plan on parking inside it. Repeated use of the garage door on the cable is not good for it unless it has 0 pressure on it, which will cause the inevitable garage door gap.

I don't have a wall connector, but I did have my 14-50 outlet for my mobile connector installed in my garage. Both my cars are parked in my driveway, so I drilled a sizeable hole in my wall to my driveway and put a cover on it, then slid the cable through. Has been working fine!

I just bough the Spigen as linked above by @CCopperpot . My son just purchased a Hyudai Ioniq 5 and he will be charging outside the garage door, using my Tesla Mobile charger (connected to power inside the garage), and a Tesla to J1772 adapter.
