What are the specific dimensions of this? I've been searching everywhere on the internet, but can't seem to find them posted anywhere. I have a panoramic sunroof in my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport which is 66" x 39” (the front portion that opens: 31 x 39”). I doubt it would be an exact tailored fit, but I'm curious if I could use it as a makeshift shield while camping.

Yeah, perhaps; but I always considered that area as “bonus space” and so, “why not”? My job is in emergency preparedness, so my brain is probably just geared that way. It’s been a while since I’ve made that video (in fact, I’ve traded in the Model 3 for a Model X) and as I watched it again (and considered your comments), I noted that the only things in there I’ve never used are the blankets (thankfully), the first aid kit (VERY thankfully), and the tire inflation kit (no flats in 81,000 miles of EV driving!). Everything else has been put to use at one time or another. Again, not for everyone, I’m sure, but if you’re not utilizing the space anyway, might as well be prepared.

Strange that the Roof Rack was 199 wH/miles and the Bare Roof was 210 wH/miles. You should test on a longer distance. If you have a Watt meter on your UMC plug, Charge at 90% and drive like 100 miles. Recharge to 90% and check how much kWh you put back into your car. Do the same thing with the rack alone, and with the box. And publish the results.

Hal Brody Yeah; I’ve pretty much had it on since full time since I filmed the video (the FRONT one, that is). The rear one is a bit of a challenge to see through and (as the video shows) has a bit of a sag that can annoy a tall rear seat passenger. And I really don’t want to cheat the back seat passengers out of such a beautiful view. :-) I can tell you that during the middle of the day, when the sun is at its height, you can feel some heat coming through the shade (it’s porous, unlike most shades). But it definitely cuts some of the heat and some of the brightness. As an old pasty dude of Irish heritage, I need to cut as many rays as possible from reaching my lily-white skin. This shade is a welcome relief from when I made a trip out west in my Model 3 last year. 15 months old and the car cracked 49k miles today.

Hi. I don’t know if you realized already, but the protective 3M needs to be used if you don’t want to ruin your car’s paint. It wasn’t to protect during the installation. The post it notes didn’t do anything remotely close to the 3M “rubbery” protection. They need to stay under the rubber feet. I hope you still have them and are able to re-install to avoid the damage.

Even I got these...
Thanks Andy. You’re a great inspiration to anyone who has a Tesla, wants a Tesla, or is interested in a Tesla. And Happy Birthday to your car!
Rick, I believe I promised you a ride (and a drive) in the future Roadster! 😉 Thanks for being a great part of the local EV/Tesla journey. You gave me some great recommendations (love the Aero Cosmetics wash/wax). And yes I agree - love the Cincy Tesla team! Congrats on one year and to many more to come.

Hi. I don’t know if you realized already, but the protective 3M needs to be used if you don’t want to ruin your car’s paint. It wasn’t to protect during the installation. The post it notes didn’t do anything remotely close to the 3M “rubbery” protection. They need to stay under the rubber feet. I hope you still have them and are able to re-install to avoid the damage. The car looks great.
Thanks! I haven’t yet removed the rubber feet to check for damage, except after a bolt broke. There wasn’t any visible signs of scarring at that point.
Great Video, Rick! Your enthusiasm is infectious and you have been so generous with those who want to learn about EV/Tesla ownership. Wishing you many more fun-filled miles.
What Kind of Tims are these?
rims ...
You mean "rims"? They are Achtung wheels I bought from Tire Rack for my winter tires. I was looking for a closed type of wheel in hopes of getting some better range. Not sure if they worked for that purpose but they served their purpose for the snow tires.
