Lightning owners: can you answer this for me? dimension detail question

[davehu]

My Lightning is getting close to a reality and I'm checking dimensions to figure out best place to position my truck and charger. I'd like to ask existing owners if they can tell me the distance between the front of the truck and the front of the door opening.

I have a utility closet next to where it will be parked (and where the charger will be mounted) and will have to park so the front door hinges are even with the edge of the closet. If I go any further I won't be able to open the truck door. That dimension will also allow me to figure out how close the back end of the Lightning will be to the garage door. I wasn't concerned about this until I realized that the Lightning is a foot longer than my Chevy Avalanche. I've searched the 'net for some blueprints that will give detailed dimensions but can't find anything. I'm hoping one of you can assist. Thank you in advance.

I dont have the truck in front of me to measure, but I do want to give one general tip. I went to my local dealer and they let me take an ICE F-150 home to see how it would fit in my garage. I realized I was about 24 inches too short on space from this exercise and was able to rearrange before my Lightning was delivered.

PERFECT! The blueprint, that's what I searched for and couldn't find, but it's not showing the dimension I'm looking for. but if no one else can give me the front to door hinge measurement, I might be able to derive it from these drawings.

I get 63" with the license plate holder (holder is about an inch with the license plate and trim ring).

Thank you much! that's exactly what I need. My Avalanche is about the same so I'll just have to deal with the extra foot being all at the rear. It will work!

Now I just have to hope they get this Stop Build problem as my Lighting was about to ship when they shut it down.

I have an inch of clearance to close my garage.

I hope they get it resolved soon. I'm happy to have mine back.
