Side Rail Bed Rack System from TX Ground Breaking Event?

[UnRich1]

Who else would like to see Tesla add this custom rack system that was spotted at the Texas ground breaking event to the accessories list?

Me.
So far, it seems the best design for my needs.

270 Awning is a must.
The open design allows standing up in the bed, the lattice pattern provides the option to attach stuff on the outside and inside.

It will be a drag on the range, but my range is already compromised by towing, 7500lb. Probably will have minimal extra impact, I reckon.

BTW, a custom toolbox to fit on top of the range extender would be good.

Me, me, me!!!! I am dying to know how much weight a rack like this can support. The big question is how much weight can you put on top that is supported by the 8 attachment points on the side sails?
I’m planning to go full “Australian mode” and put a boat on top and a medium size camper on the back.

I’m thinking about putting a kayak on it. With it tipped up, it would cause more drag, so keeping it flat makes more sense.
