Just got back from a week of camping. Had some minor water intrusions by the rear corners between the Urander cap and popup tent that I didn’t seal that well. Otherwise it was great.
No cons that I can speak of except for the expected aerodynamic inefficiency. I was averaging about 520 Wh/mi with just the Urander cap at 70mph and then it went up to 540 Wh/mi after the popup tent with the wind deflector.
I drive around in the all terrain tires from the Tesla shop. I’m sure if I switched back to the road tires it would improve a little.

So..how was the experience of ordering it and getting it? Did you get it from alibaba or the manufacturer themselves?
Around $3500?
quality looks very nice from a 3ft distance at least.
Also, the wind deflector, can you tell us a little about that? Interesting design. Is it part of the tent kit or something you made yourself? Does it work well?
how impactful is the whole thing on your range?
Honestly one of the coolest builds I’ve seen bar none. Bravo.

also could you delete your tonneau cover for weight savings? what does max height at lowest suspension level end up being?
looks pretty cool!

Ordered it directly from Qian via Alibaba and the transaction was very smooth. The long wait for the shipment to be delivered was understandable since it was by ship. They give you tracking information for the shipment. You can even track where the ship is on the ocean. The whole process including the manufacturing to delivery took about 3 months because I ordered it before the Chinese New Year and they were on break. They will send you pics and video to confirm that you are ok before you pay the balance of your order.
Cost for just the popup tent was $2500 plus shipping of $800 to New York. They only deliver curbside. So what I did was I had the driver help lay the crate on the roof side of the tent on two blue Harbor freight dollies and then pushed onto my driveway into my garage from the street.
The wind deflector is a cheapo 57” rear car wing from Amazon that I just custom mounted in reverse on the front of the mounts that came with it. Without the wing deflector, I was at over 570Wh/mi at 70mph.
Thanks for the complement.

I prefer to keep the tonneau as it adds an extra layer of security to the contents of the vault.
It is about 105 inches tall on the “entry” setting when the popup tent is deployed.

If there is enough interest, I will explain the details of the mounting of the tent onto the Urander cap as it was not a perfect fit.

There are 8 bolts total that mount onto the Urander cap.
8 of those bolts go through and through into the Urander T-slot rails that the cross bars attach to.
8 bolts go through Urander cross bars in from the non-moveable part and the T-slot channels of the sleeping platform.
I used some foam tape and foam weather stripping from home depot between the Urander cap and the bottom of the tent.

Sorry for the grilling I’m just totally enamored with it and think I might want to replicate it.
so the bolts are on the tent and they line up with the urander rack slots basically?

That is very cool and creative of you. I am testing the full length Urander prototype right now, and I can't wait to share all the details with DIY-ers. It's a fun add-on that will make my travel adventures easier and more fun.
We have been using for about a month and a half and figure out a few optimizations that if Urander leverages our feedback exactly, it will be incredible for even long term use (van life stuff).
Here a few photos from a couple of weeks ago. I had a small emergency surgery after this, so I don't have a lot more to share at the moment.

The tent is bolted onto four Urander cross bars that are typically held in place with T-slot nuts and bolts by friction. I chose to drill through the T-slot rail instead of using the friction nuts that slide in there. That would prevent the crossbars from sliding along the T-slot rails. Then the tent was bolted through those four crossbars.
I think I will make a video of the mounting in order to make it clearer so everyone can copy it if they choose this path to a rooftop tent.

I love the Urander products but I opted for the hard walled popup tent instead of fabric for reasons you can surmise.That is very cool and creative of you.
