Have you shopped at this company website before? Just curious how you found them. By the way, I’m in Charlotte. Where are you located?

Matthews location. Yes, I did pickup at store since shipping was ludicrous. It’s like a Dicks sporting goods.

Bed storage. Found these. Works great and much cheaper than the Tesla ones. On sale at Academy sport $24/each. There 27 gallon.

Plano storage

Thanks @TarheelCT. Just ordered 3, that's a good deal!

IMO, there way better than the Kobalt or Husky ones. I had gotten the Kobalt storage and the lids were very squeaky and felt thin/brittle. I also like these are fairly low profile and have wheels should you need them. Not pelican case quality, but to store stuff they should work.

Fyi guys.


I also found these foldable ones from Amazon that got really good reviews as far as durability. They are the same size and likely the same Chinese white label third party manufactured bins that Teslaunch.com sells but they’re half the price on Amazon.

These can be slid under the rear seat when not in use.

They could end up being dog shit so I won’t know until I get them. $49 for three bins.

Do they fit flush side to side and are you still able to open the lids?

. I have those here now. There not bad folding but the sides seems to push in too easily. I decided to use them for garage shelf storage etc. there a good price but for the money I much prefer the Plano and they will be more water tight than the vevor.

But does the kid even fit into his storage box?

I believe the kid is training to be a contortionist.

That means you simply need to buy more things to put in those boxes...

Iv owned several trucks for about a 20 year span. Never had an L track or any of these fancy tie downs or any storage system whatsoever. Every once in a blue moon, I'd throw some shit back there but mostly i never ever looked or opened the back. Never seen a molly panel before, never tried to camp in the back of one. Where the bed did come in handy is vacation time. We could take as many things with us as we wanted without worry

Iv never seen so many accessories for the back of a pickup truck but truth be told, I never visited Ford or checvy truck forums so I don't know if they were up to the same things.

Its all neat looking, but other than going on a trip, why carry all that back there? Its just a 6x4 space. Why all the compartments?

My biggest mod just came in today. I’m so excited! My Cybertruck SAWD will be our 4th Tesla. We have an XP, YP, and 3 currently. Today I got home and saw my biggest mod delivered to my driveway. 64 solar panels, and #2 20 kWh batteries. Luckily I’m only buying the power all this stuff produces, and it’s $0.06/ kW cheaper than my utility. So this should actually save me money!! Plus I’ll have power to charge my fleet, even during outages! I had considered an NG standby generator, but those can cost $17-$20k installed after permitting according to the generator guy that stands at the exit isle at Costco.

L track on my truck with tie downs gets used constantly. I thought about the mattress for camping but then realized the bed is full of gear Id have to take out to go to sleep.
