In my Tesla model Y I can carry 9' boards and close the hatch. Is there a passthrough from the bed to the cabin?
Not so odd when you are trimming out a garage door with weatherstripping.Nine feet is an odd (no pun intended) length.
How often do you do that?Not so odd when you are trimming out a garage door with weatherstripping.
my thoughts as well . . . I'm feeling a Rivian Surf Club coming soon 🏄♂️🏄♂️🏄♂️Funny, I thought he was talking about a surfboard. I have a few 9' boards for surfing that I regularly need to haul, so I added the racks so I can mount it on top since hanging out the back isn't ideal.

Thanks for posting! So I take it that's an 8ft wavestorm on the bottom right? At an angle that doesn't look too bad, but for my 9'6", that won't really work. But I expected that. Do you have the racks? I'm curious to see how a 9'+ board looks like on top. I thought spacing would be a problem, but even on my Model 3, it's fine:
Nice, I know that spot . . . I am down in HMB, a bit to far for me to drive but nice to know we are somewhat close
I can't believe I didn't get better pictures at the First Mile Event, but they had a surfboard on top with the racks . . . it was maybe a 7' and change board, but I think the distance between the racks is pretty far apart. At least I hope so, its definitely the set up I have configured . . . the gear tunnel doors are OK for getting to the back rack, but the front was a bit of a stretch and probably need to access that from the front door area. But still I think the 9 footers will do fine up top of the cab area.Thanks for posting! So I take it that's an 8ft wavestorm on the bottom right?

In my current truck (a Tacoma) I use a ladder rack to transport long items. I wonder if something similar will be available for the R1T? If you could mount them on the bed and have it raise to the level of the rack on the roof, that would be perfect!In my Tesla model Y I can carry 9' boards and close the hatch.

They will probably have something like that available but you won't need it. The spacing at the top is enough, I looked at it when we did our mobile drive the other day. I can mount the 9ft board on top racks if I want to as spacing was more than my model 3 even. R1t spacing 36" on top, whereas my Model 3 is only 28".In my current truck (a Tacoma) I use a ladder rack to transport long items. I wonder if something similar will be available for the R1T?
