Where to hang a coat?

You put brakes, a steering wheel, and a coat hanger in the same category? That's a logic that escapes me.

Inmy other cars I seldom used a coat hanger. I usually carefully laid my jacket on the back seat. In this car I can lay it on the back seat, trunk, or cargo cover. I have three choices. Since I have a Pano roof I have a fourth.

Elegant coat hanger solution
As my search continues for an elegant coat hanger solution, here is my latest attempt:
The hook is large enough to go over the steel header, not just over the plastic header cover, making them strong enough for a whole load of dry cleaning, rather than just a single coat. They're available in silver, white or black in sets of four, around five bucks. (I think they're less intrusive than these photos show, and in black, maybe even more so) I got them from: http://www.containerstore.com/shop/shelving/interMetroreg/components?productId=10000990&N=13383

I did that yesterday on my way to a meeting downtown - now I keep a hanger in the left well with the charging cable and adapters. Works well.

My requirement is to hang a lot of clothes as we travel with nearly everything hanging... shirts, pants dresses, blouses, jackets, etc. In my ICE vehicle we had a bar that hung from one flip down handle to the other. David’s hook solution in black should work well with this 33.75 inch bar. Each metal end should fit over a hook as shown above. Clothes on hangars can be hung on the bar preferably behind the driver as to not obstruct the rear view. This may not be a solution for everyone but I believe will work well for us. Thanks David Wexler.
I am assuming that the weight will not be a problem with the steel header. Anyone disagree?

Took another long distance trip (1,500 miles) but his time we had our hanger solution in place. Below are a couple of pictures showing the "old geezer bar" hanging from the brackets that David Wexler proposed.
Believe me, those are only a few of the clothes that we had with us. :biggrin:

Porsche has a hook that goes on the back of a seat -- and it might be easy enough to install on the back of the Tesla front seat. But it would include drilling a hole in the plastic (and temporarily removing the back cover in order to install...)
Here's some part info I found online -- the first 3 items linked (the hook, a clip that goes behind the plastic on the back of the seat, and a screw). The 987/997 version has a metallic look, and there is an older 986/996 style avail in black. Looks like it would cost ~ $15 per seat in parts... Porsche 987 Coat Hook Results

I won't miss the hooks or handles in my Model S when I get it.
I see the $1100 CCI still only has one cup holder. I was almost ready to order one but don't think I should compromise for $1100. I will wait until somebody figures out an optimal solution for the front floor space.

My wife found a suction cup Wreath Holder that holds 10 pounds each. It can be attached to the panoramic roof or the side windows.
It can be folded up against the pano roof to be less conspicuous.
Using two holders with a clothes hanger bar this should hold 20 pounds, but it might be prudent to go with the metal hanger approach described earlier when hanging a lot of clothes.
I have not yet tested the hanging duration on a long trip, but I would think this should work to get your dry cleaning home.

This looks like a clean solution, though do we know how much weight that bar can handle? It appears to be a cosmetic cover of some sort. I wonder how it's attached.
Doug,
I'm crushed!
That's one of my favorite Hawaiian shirts.
Here I am at a club meetup in which a member arranged for a surprise Birthday cake. I think that my shirt matches the Tesla decorations very nicely. :wink: Check out the emblem on the cake.

3 of those blue plastic push-clips (the same things used on lots of interior panels). They take a bit of force to pull them down, so a shirt or two shouldn't cause any drama, but I had a leather jacket back in the 80's that would easily pull the whole thing down
