Like many, I watched one too many accessory videos before my CB arrived and ended up with one of these. I put a few things in there but quickly realized that I'll likely never use it and prefer the open space under the rear seats.

I keep seeing posts folks giving these away for free and it dawned on me that mine needs to go -

Has anyone done something other than this that provides some organization to under seat w/out the rigid plastic buckets?

Our subs are there and any bin with items in it would cause bass rattles, if I gotta store something I’ll use the bed and or frunk. Even keep my door pockets free of things for the same reason.

Love mine. Straps and tools in the mid/driver side. Misc on the passenger side. Can't hear any bass rattles, door creaks, window seals. I play loud. Is the one pictured from Tesla? I don't use the rectangle bits pictured. GL finding what works for you!

I used to use the abstract ocean Velcro boxes boxes and liked them but now use these. They are sold by multiple chinesium purveyors.

They don’t scream quality or built for life but they have significant advantages.
For me, there are indwelling car seats in the back seat precluding access by lifting the seat. These plastic three part bins sort of pressure fit in there and each of the three can be slid forward for easy access without removing the car seats and lifting the seats which is a big deal. They are easy to access even with everybody strapped in and ready to go or while driving. They are also easy to take inside individually for packing purposes. I have had no issues with bass rattles.

Thanks for the share. Pulling them out like a drawer sounds nice. I'm always fighting the dog sling.

The do have a strap in the back which I don’t use to facilitate the drawer action but they are snug enough they don’t go anywhere with deceleration.

OP, if you’re new to Cybertruck ownership, wait
Like other owners, we use the bed and frunk but actually keep the rear seats up for storage
I have my tool bag on the floor
Cyber cooler in fhe frunk
Husky bins full of survival off road gear in rhe bed with my spare tire
There is wiggle room for adjusting when something bigger needs to be added
65” screen in uhaul box fits in the rear with the seats up
The rear seat area is my dynamic ready spot for carrying
Never liked the under-seat storage idea as it locks that floor space needed to respond to dynamic need
Good luck

I actually use mine all the time.

Under the driver side, I keep my charging cables and water hose for the 25 gallons in my rear bed truck, also a firearm. Under the passenger side, I keep a bunch of recovery gear and straps, and in the middle, I keep all the first aid kit, stuff, phone, cables, and stuff like that.

I can’t imagine not using this!

Everything with sensitivity to heat goes in these bins for temp control

I keep my straps and cleaning supplies in the bins. I haven't noticed any problems. Once or twice, I have wished for more room with the seats up, but I could have left the bins at home in those situations.

No rattles, but now that someone has mentioned it, I'm sure to be neurotic about it.

I measured and got a couple of larger than shoe box sized lidded plastic bins. I can leave them in the garage if I need the floor space, but otherwise I can keep spare tools and cleaning stuff. I do have the sliding trays under both seats in front for things I access more frequently.

The only thing I ever needed to flip the seats up for extra storage was my BougieRV cooler. Now that I have the cooler installed up front I don’t need that space and I have a strong preference to have the storage bins under the seats. Anything I could put in the cab with the seats up I can just put in the bed of the truck and that seems to suit me just fine.

I’m mostly store things for my dogs including seat covers and a few other things in the back; and under my seat upfront I have leashes and a few other things I need quick access to.

I also have never had any bass rattling, but will now become neurotic about that as well as @Pixelgeist. Although, since I’ve had the bins in place for most of the time I’ve owned the truck and really haven’t experienced any issues I think I’ll be OK.
