Looking for some feedback and opinions from current owners about how well the R1T's cameras and parking sensors would help with getting the truck into a small garage.
Looks like the R1T length is 217.1 inches. I think my garage length is only 220 inches from the back wall to the garage door. I want to double check that measurement with a laser measure.
I honestly think 2.9 inches is enough for me with the sensors, cameras, and bird's eye view, although I don't think the parking sensors and cameras give specific distances - just yellow and red lines indicating proximity? We do plan on backing into the garage due to current charging station placement as well as due to practicality and safety because the house is on a semi-busy street. I grew up in Chicago (in the city, not the suburbs) and have parallel parked into some crazy small spaces (says my wife anyway. I think it's typical skill for a city driver). However, my wife does thinks it's too close for her comfort. It's the main reason my second reservation is for an R1S - because the shorter length would fit in the garage more easily - but I think the R1T would be more practical. I was also looking at parking tape, rubber parking curbs, and garage wall padding to make her more comfortable. I know it'll be tight, but I think it's doable.
Feedback from current owners would be greatly appreciated.
