Cybertruck can have ladder rack after all...

The roof rake would be convient, out of the way place to store a generator and fuel until the charging stations show up at remote camp sites. Might have a bit of a Jed Clampett look to it, but better than walking.

My daughter charges from home with her solar roof, so she is basically off grid.

And Elon promised to electrify the whole country if given a chance with a 100 x 100 mile land to set up a solar panels and giga storage batteries.

A motorhome was not a consideration for us when we moved from tent camping to trailer.

In fact, my plan was for the smallest trailer but found a medium one capable of being pulled by our SUV although I'm prepared to buy a higher specs truck for it.

Now just after two years, we've upgraded because the wife wants a sofa to lounged inside the trailer. She's a bit sensitive to cold weather.

We want to move around a lot and see the sights within reasonable distance from the campground, so this is the most ideal set up for us.

I will probably stay for a long while with the perfect Cybertruck and 5K lbs trailer set up.

If we acknowledge your grievance that your very tender feelings was hurt, will you promise that your post will be useful and intelligent henceforth?

He starts a new thread about the same Tesla truck every other week or so. Not sure why. Maybe he works for Tesla and is it is free advertisement by bypassing forum advertisement rules? Just a hunch. You learn to ignore them after a while. Just be careful not to say anything perceived as negative about a Tesla. He will start insulting your intelligence and call you all sorts of names like McGoo(whatever that means) and so on.

And like a clockwork @ShinerBock comes in with his long grievance of snowflaky hurt feelings.

Like your echo, I'm not sure why myself - echo, echo, echo, lol.

And please, I don't need to insult you. You are doing it to yourself without my help with your every post.

And let me jog your memory.

I'm a Tesla stockholder and made the profit for me to fund my purchase of Cybertruck.

My son used to work for Tesla, but so what?

My daughter own a Model X, but so what?

Please, I beg you, add something intelligent to the topic like @Reisender above.

And let me thank you in advance for doing so if you are so inclined.

Are you sure the truck wouldn't be overloaded? The Kayak likely weighs upwards of 40 lbs.

You have an excellent point there. That's an issue that have to be seriously looked into specially that the Hobie Kayak-sailboat weight 240 lbs. - Mirage Tandem Island.

It might need a four-point support, front-hitch, back hitch and the two supports of the ladder rack.

Otherwise, the project might just be too ambitious and dangerous.

Cybertruck Ladder Rack

The ladder rack is kind of a pre-requisite for us but what I would like to see is a picture of a kayak on it and then a small trailer behind just to give perspective for overhangs etc. A boat on a trailer won’t be an issue as it’s lower but dual person kayaks depending how they are racked can stick out quite far. I don’t think the dimensions are fixed in stone yet. Apparently the prototype is slightly bigger than the planned production. Time will tell.

Lots of rumours around a Texas factory for the cybertruck. I think they need to get past the fact that it’s still illegal to sell Tesla’s there.

There is a picture on the link. But I don't have nor would have a rendering for the Hobie kayak-sailboat rack.

I saw one on an F150 and it has mod to have a front-hitch Y support.

Looks sturdy as aside from the front Y support (which I think is essential), it's resting on the ladder racks. Some suggested a Y support connected to the hitch at the back if there is no ladder rack.

As I said, I don't know yet what configuration is needed and possible.
