HPWC between garage doors?

@scottfl Nice! I hadn't even thought of ramps. That's a great plan B option for me. Thanks!

I got all self conscious after seeing my messy setup compared to all the other clean installs. I ordered 1 of the hose management holders and cut it in half. $9 and 5 minutes later and I'm a lot happier. I have exactly 15" between metal garage guides.

I like the verticle install.

@Blup85 Looking good!

I ordered two of those Gecko hose racks from Amazon 5 days ago, and it has yet to ship. My Wall Connector is installed but still a mess.

Finally finished my Gecko toe installation. Looking good! Thanks to all for your advice. As a reminder, I only had 8.5" of workable space between the garage doors, and I wanted the 24' HPWC, since we have a Model 3 on preorder which will replace the LEAF you see here.

Oh, and I absolutely love my S85. So far, I'm super happy with my decision to go CPO.

Looks sharp. Good use of that tiny space between doors.

I would mount the HPWC in the ceiling and have the cable drop down. I use bike hooks to keep it above the garage door and it drops down hanging right near the charge port.

wow, that is tight but it works! I need to adjust mine like that so that there is just enough cord to reach the car, but not have to push the cord back in the "gecko Toe". Really clean, nice!

I installed mine between doors with gecko toes as well back in January. Very happy with it! Got the idea here on TMC...thank you!

@Blup85 Yours looks pretty good as is. It looks like you have more room to work with than I have, and the vertical setup has its own advantages.

@kosarfan Whoever discovered the Gecko toes for this purpose and posted about it first here is a lifesaver. The electrician who installed my HPWC says he's never seen a better solution for cord management between garage doors, and he's done a ton of installations here in the D.C./Maryland area.

As some have seen in the 'photo' thread, I use Gecko Toes for my double HPWC installation (single wide door), and they are great for just hanging the cable loops from, also. Much more controlled than a plain hook or putting them all over the HPWC. The cheapest accessory one could find at about $10 on Amazon!

I'm also awaiting my CPO. I'm installing two 14-50s one in the center and one in the other bay for the m3 it cost $300 extra since they are running both lines at the same time.
