Who says you need a roof rack!? (Warning: pic not for the faint hearted)

Just tied it to the roof

Also very happy with Teslas snow performance!

Looks like a good way to avoid having to clean those pesky needles off of the rear carpet.

So, what future ex-friend did you borrow the car from?

 

[Patrick W]

Could have been worse:
Police pull over car transporting very large Christmas tree on top

Grins!

 

[Hugh Mannity]

Yeah that ^^

 

[JasJ]

Hope that you have a glass roof....

It’s mine, but that’s a good idea for next year.

Not on this one

Oh god! So cringe worthy. I worry that the microfiber wash mitt and towels I use might scratch the paint!!

We are going to get in our MX in about 2 weeks, so we are buying our Xmas tree next weekend and carry in on top our X5 that will be traded in with the MX delivery. Not sure what we will do next year... The MX does have a glass roof I think...

Watch the movie "Why Him" with Brian Cranston. Great Tesla Christmas tree scene.

This is where I would be renting a local pickup. They cost - what- $20? How much damage? If it was a glass roof, you could clean it, but a metal roof- gad the scratches (as seen by birds!)

Got to love the frameless windows! ; )

LOL. I'm sure "Ability to tie xmas tree to roof without losing ingress/egress" was a must have requirement for Elon. I can see it crossed off on his whiteboard in my mind's eye.

 

[Jason S]

Maybe he's got full Xpel wrap?

 

[bredi]

any photos of the aftermath?

That would have easily fitted inside the car with the back seats folded flat and the base of the tree fitting through the front seats resting on the front centre console or even on the dashboard.

try harder

Two questions:

1. Whose car was it (not the car from your sig)?
2. Is the second picture supposed to illustrate snow performance by the fact that the tree fell off the roof on launch, since it's no longer there?

Forgive my confusion.. Drive a Tesla, cut down a tree for a decoration that lasts a few weeks. Contradiction?

Only if you assume that all Tesla customers bought them for an environmental cause reasons. While that might have been true of older EV's where people put up with EV inconveniences and shortcomings just to be "green", Elon set out to change that by creating a desirable car which people buy not primarily because they wanted a "green" car, but because they desired the car for all of its attributes. He succeeded.
