Is a 25 ft charging cable actually long enough for most garage/driveway setups?

Noticed a lot of chargers cap out around 25 ft and trying to figure out if that's actually long enough for most setups, or if that's a common pain point. For anyone whose charger ends up far from where they actually park, has 25 ft been workable, or did you end up needing an extension or a different unit entirely?

Depends entirely on which side your port is on and whether you back in. 25 ft has been fine in my garage with the 14-50 but I've never tried to stretch it out to the driveway...

for me it's been fine but the LEAF port is in the nose so it barely needs any cable. the Model Y is the one where I actually use most of the 25 ft, and that's with the car in the garage where you park matters more than the number on the box imo
