Rear underseat storage alternatives, any that can be partial?

Tesla has a rear underseat storage option, pricey, a bit more basic than some, but doubtless solid.

There are some aftermarket options, too.

What I'm thinking of, I haven't seen yet. I want one that's in separate pieces, so that for example one could have underseat storage for one side and the center, but nothing under the other side, so that it could be folded up and something (in particular, a powered cooler, but there are other possibilities) could be placed on the floor, that wouldn't fit if the underseat storage extended that far.

The homebrew alternative that just occurred to me is if there are some small but sturdy black nets like a small cargo net, that can be velcro'd or strapped to the usual attachment place for underseat storage, and more lightly velcro'd to themselves to close them. That could be wherever one wanted it, and hold items large enough not to slip through well enough in place that they wouldn't bang together or slide out. Lacking a sectional underseat storage unit, has anyone seen a net that might work well like that, sturdy enough and suitable size?

Thanks! Those both look like what I want , and the Elecfresh is not unsurprisingly quite reasonable.

That gives up the notion of putting the telescoping snow scraper under the rear seat, but it would make more sense in the frunk anyway (I think it's not too long when collapsed) and wouldn't take up much space there.

I have a telescoping squeegee that's long enough to do the window, roof or anything else (once semi clean, glass cleaner and squeegee should be ok to finish most of the stainless), but it's just too long even collapsed to go anywhere but the bed - it's probably meant to be able to handle 1st and 2nd story windows both. It doesn't really bang around back there even loose, but I imagine I can come up with some way to attach it to one of the L-tracks if I really want to.

PS just got the Elecfresh bed and frunk mat set. Fits well, holes for the D ring, can open the under-bed storage cover with it in place. Includes mat for frunk and under-bed storage area (with hole to access drain plug). Didn't put in the frunk mat because I already have the L-tracks and cargo net there which I use more often, but might put it in for the duration if carrying something soggy or scratchy up front that didn't need to be netted down.

If some of the choices there are unusual, I have one leg that does not appreciate much walking or climbing around (stepstool to reach roof would be problematic), and arm on the same side that's intermittently difficult - tendons in both cases, I think. So I try to plan in terms of least motion to accomplish cleaning, clearing, storage, or whatever I'm trying to do. I also have the Rubbit powered waterless foam sprayer (ok, some water to dilute their concentrate). I've only used it a bit, but it seems to work pretty well on the stainless, at least if it's not muddy-driving filthy (which inevitably would need lots of water). And I have a Dirt Devil 110V corded hand vac that's powerful enough to do the interior, a nice option that having 110V outlets inside allows.
