I’m shocked how many builders build garages to the minimum standard of 20’. That just seems nutts in the modern era.
Come to the Bay Area, the townhouses that cost more than $1.3M have the single, narrow tandem garages. I had to squeeze my old X4 into one, was ridiculous.

Fair enough, your geography mandates space efficiency. The price for the other advantages of a beautiful area. Politically they prob would prefer nothing bigger than a civic in CA anyway.

My garage depth is 224.5”, 225” if I remove the drywall. I have space behind it to expand but then there’s the cost and hassle of construction.

When CT was originally unveiled it was obviously too long, but now it technically would fit but it’s probably ridiculously tight. I guess I have to rent on turo or wait for test drive availability to be sure.

Any East Bay owners willing to test out my garage for me?😐

You're in San Leandro!? I've been watching all your videos to prepare for picking up our Cybertruck and they've been very helpful, so thanks for all your hard work on those. We picked ours up today and it is awesome!! I'm over in Castro Valley - we'll probably see you driving around!

Our garage is long enough to accommodate a washer and dryer against the back wall, but I thought it would still be a tight fit. Just picked ours up today and relieved to see it fits okay - we can still get by to do the laundry, (I'm standing next to the washer to take this photo.) Can't open the tailgate with the garage door closed unless I pull it up against the washer, but there's no real need to do that anyway.

Wow!!! Congrats on CyberTruck!!! See you around town!! 📐

We hang around Castro Valley from time to time! Sometimes we stop by Pampas Cafe in Castro Valley or Eon Cafe in Hayward :)

Thanks for watching my videos! Glad they helped you prepare! 🤩👍

We now really appreciate that Tesla shrunk the CT down! Look at the difference between my F150 (just sold) and the CT where there is a walkaway to that side door. Its a huge impact when taking out the garbage.

100% that's ALWAYS on the back of my mind, even when I parallel park on the streets. I don't want to accidently open the tailgate and hit someone's vehicle!
Yep, I accidentally opened the tailgate from the screen on the dashboard. Might be good to have a 2ndary tab that comes up to confirm so that you hit it twice to open
