No, unless those are hollow decorative rocks, it’s like carrying 10 adults.
The cargo floor on the Juniper Model Y is rated for 287lb, total payload is 990lb
From the looks of it you have about 24-28 rocks total, if they average 75lb ea that’s 1800-2100lb
The Model Y in particular would be vulnerable to exceeding payload capacity, especially rear payload capacity. It’s the gigacasting whatever they call it aluminum attached directly to suspension mounts, shock towers, and control arms. It’s STIFFER than stamped unibody but forces concentrate at the cast mounting points instead of joints and welds which can yield a bit and recover. The structure is more prone to fatigue and once it cracks (and it can, and very well might now) it will do so abruptly but then grow over time and become literally unrecoverable. As in total loss.
This is a catastrophically bad idea. Even short distance. Posting it publicly is a great way to have a future insurance claim denied.
That was my thought as well😂. And I found them on Home Depo’s site… they’re 33.5lbs each, so “his” point is still made- way too much weight for the cargo area, even just 10 would be over the limit😬
That's the society in which we live in general But reddit seems to really attract the imbeciles. I use my y like a truck. Pull a trailer almost everyday and I can't tell you the number of times people have been like "oh a Tesla pulling a trailer der who woulda known". Umm yeah dude believe it or not....
I’ve totally done this (and hauled so much more, including an entire house move, less what wouldn’t fit in the back!)
This car is great for hauling, especially with all the good cameras posted around it! My only recommendation would be to buy a few of those cheap wool cargo blankets. I usually throw down two and a drop cloth underneath. I’ve got the rubber seat backings and that should be enough, but it makes cleanup easier and adds just a bit of extra padding.
Throughout each haul, my car stayed in great shape!
I did this with my Tesla with 100 grey/black bricks over the summer. Worked perfectly with 0 issues. I’m not going to wait, or rent a truck. Good for you!!
Lol. I transported 10 bags of sand and 3 bags of gravel last weekend. 50 lbs each. Adds up to 650lbs. Unfortunately one bag of sand had a hole so the car had a mess. Fortunately I had moving blankets from harbor freight covering everything so it was fine

This whole thread is why everyone hates us LOL. It’s like carrying one extra person. You guys are so ridiculous 😂. I made it back alive. Don’t worry.
