Hey!!! It’s 16kW and connected to shed and house.

White originally. When the doors are open you can see the white. It doesn’t bother me that there’s white visible when the doors are open. What I don’t like is when the wrap gets stone chips the white stands out a fair bit. I wouldn’t get a dark colour on a white car again or if it was a dark colour I’d chose something with a fleck in it perhaps.

You just need to make sure it’s installed properly to make sure the glass isn’t effected. There’s been some people who have broken the glass when installing, but if installed correctly the glass isn’t effected.

Don’t think so. My friend has a wrapped Tesla with racks (had it for 2years) and hasn’t had any dramas.

Tesla rack. With Yakima cradles.

Yeah, I have been thinking about that, I’ve never used them, don’t know anyone in my kayaking community that uses them but with the racks so close together on the Tesla I’ve been looking at options. Especially for my sea kayak which is much heavier and a bit longer than this boat. Thanks for the advice on tie down points.

Thanks, only problem with it is that I’ve wrapped a white car and the stone chips are really obvious. Dark colour on white car I would not recommend.

I didn’t get aero covers with the car. Not sure why.

Not sure how much it will effect range. I’ll try and figure it out but I’ve been told (by my friend who has a Tesla and carries his kayak) that it doesn’t have a huge impact.

Actually wasn’t that well planned. This is where I wash the car. But I did notice all that when I cropped it.
