I parked next to a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, which is the largest hybrid you can get in the Netherlands. I could fit underneath the door mirror. While this is probably a common thing in the USA, it's not on this side of the Atlantic Ocean.

That's one close park job, too close for my comfort! How'd you get out/in? That Outlander looks obnoxious.
don't ask... I guess someone thought all EV's are ultra tiny cars.
Here's what I do:
- Open the window
- Open the door only enough to get my left foot out
- Step out.
- Limbo-move
- Right foot on top of left foot
- Limbo again, this time like Neo in the Matrix
- Curse, because about this time, the car is complaining that my door is open with the keys still in it.
- Close the door.
- Open the trunk, hook up the cable. Car is screaming now: please take the keys out!!!
- Go around the car, lean inside and close the window, take the key out.
- Spot the person in the parking lot who just saw your butt while doing this circus act
- Cry on the inside
- Look at your car
- Smile

impressive but the roadster is clearly too big to fit in the back of the hummer

Pretty much anything makes the Roadster look tiny. I'm parked between a Nissan Altima and a Ford F-150.

I don't suppose this counts? Most everything looks small in comparison
FWIW, you only need to stop once for 2h going from Mt Shasta --> Bay Area now, as someone kindly opened up a Sun Highway 208V/70A charger en route at the correct place.

Chris, did you use the Sun Country charger in Willows or Williams? Do the motels where they are located make them available to non-guests? Thanks.

Yes, the 208V/70A charger in Willows Motel 6. It's $10 for a full charge, no need to be a guest.

Town is kind of boring / tiny though, but it's also really close to Thunderhill Raceway, so maybe I'll start charging there for track days besides using it as a pitstop for going up to the Oregon border area!
Some pictures that we took this past Friday whilst thinking about this thread...

Good thing you had the headlights on so we could notice that there is a Roadster in that Hummer photo... :tongue:
The dang tires are as tall as the Roadster.

Is that an aftermarket green or just the way the light is hitting your car? It doesn't look like my BRG.
