My guess is the tech who put 4 new tires on has solved this leak issue.
Insulated from the concrete? Like the tires do? How cold of a storage area are you talking? Cars are designed to handle pretty large temperature swings. Think -40F to +120F. I would assume the car will be stored at somewhere between +50 to +70F, in which case I think you may be over thinking this. The guy letting his car's ankle show likely has a lift in there to get up and over with the wood blocks.
The tender can go anywhere it fits and won't fall or rub. I go back and forth between my charger being on the floor or in the frunk depending on what's going on around the car.

I wanted to insulate the tires from the cold concrete, not the car. My garage is detached and has no heat. It’s common for the garage in the winter to only be 5-10 degrees warmer than the outside air and sometimes it can get down into the teens on cold winter nights. After reading that cold concrete floors can more easily cause flat spotting on tires, I wanted to try to keep the car from sitting directly on the cold concrete floors and potentially ruing the tires.
I like the idea of putting wood under them so they aren’t directly on the cold concrete and I’ll just roll it back and forth each week.
