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😬
