Hey, first post.
I’m planing to buy an M3 LR in the next month or so. I’ve currently got a couple of electricians coming by to give me a quote on running a 240 line for the mobile charger or Tesla wall charger (not sure which to go with yet)
The issue I have is where to place the charger. The garage is a finished attached 2 car garage. The breaker box is on the exterior of the left garage wall while the door from the house to the garage is on the right.
With the charge port on the rear driver side of the M3 it would be ideal to put it in the left spot in the garage. I can’t however. The other vehicle in the garage is a Suburban and due to a deep freeze, refrigerator and shelving system the truck only fits on the left side of the garage. That puts the M3 on the right with charge port in the middle rear of the garage when parked head in.
So it seems my choices of mounting location for either type of charger are:
Anyone else have the problem or have some advice?
Thanks!

So it seems my choices of mounting location for either type of charger are:
- Left rear side of the garage - problem here is the charge cable would be drawn across the back of the Suburban and have to be disconnected when ever the Suburban goes anywhere.
- Right rear side of the garage - problem would be dragging the cable across the back of the Tesla. So possible paint damage after awhile? Also space is tight on that wall but could work
- Middle of the forward wall - problem here is the garage is 20 feet long will either charger have a long enough cord to reach the backside with enough slack in the charger cable?
- Middle of the garage ceiling far enough back to avoid the garage door opening - can one of the chargers actually be mounted to the ceiling? Would also have to add a retractable cable reel so the charge cable doesn’t hang on the floor when not in use
Anyone else have the problem or have some advice?
Thanks!
