Pictures of your Garage and Tesla(s)

[CyberDutchie]

Looks very nice! Take another picture with your Model S in it--the reflection of the checkered pattern on the car will look very cool.

Also noticed you park your cars backwards. Rear camera will come in handy!

mulder1231 mentioned RaceDeck. I went with RaceDeck when we moved into our house about 3 years ago. Cost for this garage, where my S will reside, plus a single car garage was about $2K for the tiles, which took my (70 year old) dad and I about 8 hours to install. I liked the ability to have carpeted walkways in the garage. You know, for those cold San Diego winters :wink:

OK, time to take down the X-mas lights...:tongue:

I still have my Christmas lights up from October ... 2010! :redface:

The wife is quite adamant that the lights come down by the first weekend in the new year.

Backing in is an old trait from my high school job of valet parking. For the truck it's a necessity in order to get out of the cab. The NEMA 14-50 plug for the Tesla was installed about a month ago on the outside of the house by the front door (easiest route when installing my wife's EVSE for her Volt). Unless I find a 10-12' extension cord, the Model S will have to pull in forwards to charge

Camco makes those 15', 30' and 50'. Not rated for EV use and the jacket is PVC so it will get stiff when it's cold but it would prolly work fine for you in this application.

Here is my garage:

Both together:

My garage is quite large. I love it ... so much that I have filled it with crap.

German license plates in Atlanta, GA?

It was a gift from my brother. So I put it on the car. No front plate here, so I can put whatever I want there.

My dad had a legitimate Hawaii plate he had on his car for quite some time.

Ehrenbürger von Chemnitz, I'd guess. :biggrin:
Hey, your AU will expire this year!

WOW, that's how my garage looked. . . . Before I moved in. (minus the Roadster)

This is an interesting thread! I'll be waiting, I guess, around a year for my Model S, so in the meantime I've more or less decided to fix up my garage to keep me occupied. Has anyone tried this flooring from Costco? I've read the reviews, and they seem OK, though the tile seems to be hard rather than a slightly softer rubber. The price is good though, and it's Costco, so it can always be returned.....

 

[FalconNinetyD]

It looks like MotoFloor may be made by RaceDeck. They probably market it under a different name in order to protect the channel that sells RaceDeck.

Racedeck vs Costco's Motofloor

Cool, thanks for the link, looks like a good product, and still at the same 'special offer' price 5 years later

recently upgraded my lights in the garage to put out almost 12,000 lumens so i can work at night as if it were day time, Also just got my winter tires in!

 

[Ocelot]

hey ac1k...
my garage used to look like that, with respect to all the tires, then I asked the garage that changes the tires if they store them. yep, they do, so for 120 bucks a year, (60 bucks twice a year) I do not have to have them around or lug them (heavy with rims). just a thought, as for all i know you change them yourself.

Amazing what Motofloor, Proslat and a coat of white paint can do!

i change mine myself since the dealerships here are useless, they always over tighten or under tighten, my friends jag had his bolt striped because of over tightening.
since i got all the tools (compressor, torque wrench, big jack, etc) i change everyone elses tires too, and since i live alone, i store all their tires in my garage.
