Vault divider for the win. I positioned mine just far enough back to grab my hockey gear and just angle the sick on the divider, which just fits under the vault door and is still easy to reach from the side.

As I have found with any Tesla, it just requires some different thinking and/planning from what I did with previous cars/trucks.

If I order a hockey stick from Telas, it will cost $499 :)

Anyone thinking of a product to assist with being able to reach things in the bed of the truck from the side of the truck? Because of the design, I can't quite reach over the side to grab something as simple as a gym bag even in entry mode and I am 6' 1". Maybe a concealed step in front of the rear tires? idk.
Can you not stand on here?

Same as I did on my Tundra, step on the wheel spokes and keep things near the tailgate

Hubby and I are getting good at stepping on this to get on the truck bed. I bought a folding step stool similar to the one posted here but end up not using it as much. The divider helps when we don’t have much but most of the time the whole bed is used.

I put a gear bag on the drivers side molle panel for small things that I want access to (tools, gloves, etc) and then for everything else, I do what others have mentioned and use that back section of the area created by the divider. Even at 6'5" and in Entry Level, I can't reach things in the bed from the side.

What's wrong with the two steps designed into the side of the truck right behind the wheel? If you look in the parts catalogue you will see there are structural steps built in right under the plastic trim. In other words, they are actually designed as steps and you can reach most of the bed from them.
