Garage parking backstop

[m3p_uk]

Anyone used a parking backstop when parking in the garage?
Would prefer something physical like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SNS-SAFETY...ocphy=1006668&hvtargid=pla-422523996143&psc=1

There's only about 15cm spare space length in the garage so would be very handy but just after some ideas or suggestions if anyone has something like this?

Works OK for superchargers. Would it cause you a problem if you wanted to go in forwards?

Cheers that's a good point about the superchargers!
Done think I'll ever want to go in forward and the cable is at the back if the garage

I use 4x2 wood on the floor, across to stop the front wheels, spaced a set distance from the wall

That's a great idea! Have you got any photos please?

The best thing I ever saw to solve this problem was a tennis ball hung from the garage ceiling on a piece of string. Just place it so that it touches somewhere in the middle of the windscreen when you reach the limit, nothing to trip over on the floor

I’ve got one of these mounted on the garage ceiling. You park up the first time and then point the laser to where you will remember - in my case it is the top edge of the steering wheel.

Now I drive in until the laser pointer appears on the top of the steering wheel, then I know I’m far enough in for the door to close.

This one is on Amazon USA, but I think I got mine from eBay.

Cheers for the suggestions, will give the tennis ball a go as it's cheap/easy but I would prefer something that physically is able to stop as well.
That way I know I can't accidentally overdo it or anything.

While not a physical stop, we've found the simplest thing to do is make a mark on the floor with paint or tape and then use the backup camera while pulling in so that we can stop just when the mark comes into view.

My MS is around 4" shorter than my garage. I found a local supplier of 3" thick foam rubber to cover the width of the car and glued (supplied by them) to the rear wall. I've been using this for about 3.5 years now without any problem. Can't remember the exact cost but from what I remember it was around £60 and took about 20 minutes to put in place with zero maintenance since

That's what we do as well, but we stop as soon as the tape disappears under the car in the camera. I've also put two pieces on the sides as a target for the wheels to be in between. It really helps; the backup camera on this car is great.

Wow, that's a seriously tight fit!

Welcome to the UK, that's a generous garage for us!

I think many of us here are a bit envious of the lovely big spaces some of the US Teslas are parked in...

I have a double garage and a single garage (old admittedly) and the Model 3 is too wide for them, let alone a Model S! Saves worrying about fitting a bump stop.
