With the bed being not waterproof, seems like a terrible place to keep groceries, unless you're absolutely certain about the weather. The frunk is also just a bit too small for the standard sized reusable grocery bags. I need to lift the back seats and put groceries there when I go shopping, honestly don't love it.

I do this and I think its perfect. Room for one kid and tons of groceries. Nothing slides around due to center of gravity.

The bed is basically water proof I think some people’s trucks are leakier than others but I’ve gone camping in a storm with all our equipment and food in the bed and had a hot water boiler going for coffee and oatmeal and had zero leak issues. Same for when driving in storm very minimal water gets I there.

Interesting that you don’t like the rear seat area storage, as the first time we used it with the back seats up, we loved it because there is no hump and the groceries slid right across from one side. Just a glass half full approach to life!?

I went through two hurricanes and unprecedented rain and my bed was bone dry. It might not be “waterproof”, but I bet most of the rain or wetness will come from the bags getting wet while carrying the bags to the CT.

if you’re getting water in your bed you need to go to the SC.

Kinda off topic but I was seriously amazed how much stuff I could fit in on a supply run for relief effort in western NC after Helene.

Does anyone have the Tesla bins? Do they move around or rattle when you drive with them?

Bins are super!
They do not move if you have a bed liner that is rubberized texture. I got mine from Bezos. (Amazon)

Are you talking about Tesla bins? Or you got both bins and bed mat from Amazon? Link?

You're a good dude for doing that.

Tesla bins

they fit two rows of 3.
Plus they have the grooves in the bottom that match the ribbing on the deck and the bed liner so they do not move! Only the bed liner came from Amazon.

I think you could fit another ladder in there. There’s room bro.


Can you share a link to bed mat?

I love rain, I like snow even more! What I can't stand are dusty, uncomfortably hot, bright days with a haze of air pollution. Rain is nature's house-cleaning. One reason I love EVs is because I love clean, unpolluted air.

The frequency with which it rains here on the West side of the Cascade Mountains is why I spent 15 minutes to fix the gasket that was allowing water to run down my truck bed. Because it rains here all the time through the cold months at sea level. In the mountains it's almost all snow. Now the bed is dry. I feel lucky that my skin is waterproof. I've found my skin can get wet with no harm done, but I want my groceries dry, especially when they are in paper bags.

The tonneau on my F-150 leaked all the time too but it had so many sources of leaks I couldn't fix them all.

@HaulingAss I live there (here) too… what is the 15 minute fix?

For my Cybertruck it was just removing the 5" wide aluminum trim behind the roof glass and noticing there were two gaps in the foam strip running the width of the truck, the same two spots where the water was flowing into the bed. I also noticed there was extra foam strip on either end. So I pinched a piece off each end that wasn't needed and used the gummy glue that was still attached to the foam I had pinched off and stuck them in the two gaps. The aluminum trim compresses this foam strip when it is re-installed so the bits shouldn't move.

No more bed leaks. I'm not sure why the person who installed this foam strip at the factory left two obvious gaps, it looked like it was done on purpose. But I'm sure it was not as specified by the vehicle design because you don't want to drain roof water into the center of the bed on purpose. I think the factory had a bad actor, it did not look like careless or lazy workmanship to me. More like sabotage by an employee. The world is filled with freaks, weirdos and mal-adjusted, unhappy people.

Wow thanks, that’s awesome! Is there a trick to removing the aluminum trim strip?
