What's with all the fire extinguishers? You know you can't put out a pack in thermal runaway rite??

I carry 2, both 9 lb Halotron. i have personally put out 2 car fires, a truck fire, a grass fire, and a bus fire. the grass fire used up my extinguisher and i had to finish with a shovel. that's why i now carry 2

and the biggest death in a Cybertruck was in Piedmont. 3 out of 4 kids died. it wasn't thermal runaway, just your average car fire, but they were trapped and the interior was on fire. so they died. Halotron would have put out that fire, and they would have lived.

when i was 16 i witnessed something. a man died right in front of me. trapped in a pool of gas, pinned under a motorcycle. He burned to death right in front of me. My mom wouldn't let me out of the car. I swore that day that i would never stand by again.

So yes i carry a fire extinguisher in an EV

It's a bad idea to store things like wiper blades in an area that get's hot. I don't even like to store wiper blades long-term in a cool, dry area because they give the best performance and service life when the rubber hasn't been sitting around and getting harder and oxidized.

The best part is you don't even need to go to the auto parts store because Tesla ships them right to your front door with no shipping charges. For decades now, I just replace wiper(s) when they have seen better days. If I'm going on a long trip I don't stop at an auto parts store, I replace the wiper(s) before I leave on the trip. Just part of trip prep. The last thing I want to be doing on a trip is replacing a wiper blade!

How are they packed when shipped? Sealed? even leaving it at home is better than being out of stock if you need it.

I think there's a market for a molle panel for the inside of the truck that covers the rear window, above the back seat headrests. Does anyone know if that exists already?

I second this. it would double as protection for the window from pipes, 2x4s, etc.
Its not like we actually use that tiny rear view mirror.

I’m trying to redo some things, especially on the driver side with 3d printed parts.

How did you attach the Tough Hooks? Nice setup. Collapsible dog water bowl being the most-important item! What kind of Doggo? We are German Shepherd people.

I used these track hook cleats. I didn’t want the vest to be fully suspended due to weight and this allowed me to use a single attachment point. Not sure I’ve settled on it as still need to try a few more ideas but so far so good as the Tough Hook just hangs on it.

Great catch on the water bowl and we also have a T Line that allows our GSD to ride in the back! Great minds must think alike as we love our Shepherds! PS. Used to live in Peoria!

Very very cool. What’s the panel in the frunk? And the one in the center console area?

So, I hope this is not TOO off topic but I found a really good use for my leftover TMAT pieces I wanted to share. Not mutually exclusive with molle panel use and has really helped organization and securement in mine.
Two of the squares plus two of the single row pieces fit super snugly in the frunk between the l-tracks which means you can use all the adjustable and non adjustable securement devices in there.

I went with a “Tech Plate” for the center console from Built Right Industries and mounted it to a Foronetry center console mat so I didn’t have to drill into the console.

For the frunk, I went with this Z8 Molle and used some push button quick connects I found on Amazon.

Super cool. I love it. Could you perhaps link the push button quick connects too?

certainly! It does leave a fastener head sticking out a bit when the Molle is removed, but i usually keep the Molle attached anyways.

Thank you. Those are awesome.

Thank you. Those are awesome.

The mounting “teeth” on the quick disconnects gripped enough of the existing holes in the Molle. Ideally there’d be enough surface to drill the right size diameter hole.
