    How many 1 cu ft bags of manure in a Model Y?

    I asked this same question of Model S several years ago, but absolutely no one wanted to run this experiment for me. :mad: I buy 50+ bags of composted steer manure, 2-3 times each year, for my giant vegetable garden: That's 54 bags in an RX450h. How many of these could I get in a Model Y...

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    It would be very difficult to get into my garden/paddock with a trailer of any size, much less one that will carry 54 cu ft. I have to drive up a small slope on my right and make a hard left turn just to get in through the gate. And then I have to get back out. There another part of my garden...

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    I make 3-4 trips during a 3-4 month planting season. I'm not sure I want 200 bags of manure sitting around!

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    Whoops! My typo. Yes, I meant the "second row doesn't fold down," as you've pointed out. Yeah, but not all cu ft are created equal. Twice as high is not the same as twice as long. I once rode in car with a woman who had a gigantic Newfoundland. When he laid down in the back of her station...

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    The amount of manure I can haul probably isn't a deal breaker, but this might be: the rear seats don't fold down. Is this true? The rear seats in my X5 and RX got/get folded down _all_ the time. It's part of the "U" in SUV.

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    Thanks for trying to get this back on-topic! My garden is 5000 sf, and I grow some very "heavy feeder" plants like corn and pumpkins, so I till in a layer of steer manure every year. As to why I don't rent a pickup or buy a trailer or ???, that's the whole reason I buy SUVs, because I can put a...

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    I use a plastic liner. It only smells for a few hours afterwards. I believe the "U" in "SUV."

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    No one will deliver to my garden because it's down a dirt trail. And manure is only $1/bag, so it's only a $54 order. No one will deliver a $50 order for free :-(

    Manure Carrying Capacity of Model X?

    I have a giant, unruly, impractical garden. Every spring I make 3-4 trips to Lowes/Home Depot to buy composted steer manure. I owned an X5 until 18 months ago, and I could easily fit 54 bags (2 cu yds) of manure in the back with the rear seats folded down: The X5 died a premature death...
