Will the Model S fit in my garage?

I had a loaner last weekend to try my garage:

And that's what happened:

I can't find my bearings in the 2nd picture. It looks bad but what angle is that?

[/QUOTE]These american cars are so freaking huge.[/QUOTE] LOL, that's definitely our history!

Here's my garage clearance... It's the width of my iPhone 6 (not plus).., about 2 inches. It's really no problem pulling in everyday.

Tesla brought a car to my house to see if it would fit in my garage. It did but still feels like a tight fit but my garage is larger than yours. I would wait for a model 3 instead of trying to get an S in.

These american cars are so freaking huge... A brand new 90d with 500 kilometers, what a shame.

What's on the second picture? Can't see what actually happened, scrapes?

The right front bumper, made a ~2cm scratch touching the wall.

I have a test drive next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes

So my garage is about 87.5" wide. It's also tough to get into with retaining walls on each side. Do you think it's possible to reasonably get into the garage, and will any of the automatic parking and/or sensor features help? I'm also worried about scraping... any thoughts welcome! Thanks!

My garage door opening is 93" wide. With mirrors extended there is a total of ~6.9" to spare - i.e. under 3.5" a side, though it looks a heck of a lot less than that as I pull in.

With mirrors folded I have about 7.8" to spare on each side

No problem to drive in slowly and park (creep mode), using the mirrors extended as a centering guide. If I approach a bit too close on one side I'll press the button to fold in the mirrors. Took a bit of practice and nerves at first but now easy.

Summon will pull the car in and out safely though this narrow door (it always retracts the mirrors first) but in my case it's not so useful to summon park because it won't pull in close enough to the wall - min 8" setting but I need it to almost touch the wall to leave enough door clearance from the rear.

As others suggested, an overnight test drive or garage fit appointment is what you can ask for, that's what I did - the Tesla advisor knew my concern and offered me the overnight test. But looks like the driveway slope may be more of an issue for you than width

You are correct, the slope is more of an issue. I had an appointment for a garage fit today and the advisor bottomed out the car. It was a standard suspension model so I'm hoping the air suspension will help. We shall see.

Good news; it fits (barely!) with the air suspension. Now I need to think on this for a day or two.
