Garage too small. Anyone park outside?

[LSP]

I'm considering purchasing a Lightning, but my garage is a few inches too small. I could park it on the pad next to the garage and have the charger installed outside, but I live in MN. There will be snow to deal with. I wonder if anyone else has had to do this. Any comments on the experience?

Has anyone found a way to extend the garage that doesn't cost a ton of money? The contractor I talked to said that by the time he extends and blends in new construction, I might as well just tear down the garage and build a new one.

I'm trying to decide if I should wait for a smaller truck to come out, but I could use the Lightning next summer for powering a job site for a cabin build.

I live in Southern California but I have to park my Lightning outside of the garage. FYI, the cable for the Ford Charge Station Pro is approximately 20 feet long and so I can easily run it under my garage door to my truck.

In my travels across the US including camping in the Rockies in January (lotsa snow) I found this charging port cover works very well for snow:

I live in Utah, up a canyon. We get snow, lots of snow.

I park outside and mostly use the "portable" charger on a beefy 220 extension cord.

My opinion is, it's a truck, it can handle being left out in the cold.
