Can I load a 65” TV into my Model 3?

[TexanEV]

I just bought a new LG 70" OLED and it fit fine. Obviously had to put the backseat down and had to give it a little nudge put it fit. But if you're that paranoid about it, just have it delivered.

Bruh my 82” fit fine too

...and required that we were home during the day...

This hasn't been a problem the last two months.

Shipping is often free now. TVs are bigger, screens are more fragile than ever. 55" or smaller are light enough to handle by yourself, but once you get to 65" or larger, you really need two people and have to be extra careful.

What 70" OLED is this you speak of? I only see 65 and 77.

I’m looking to purchase a 65” TV and was wondering if anyone has attempted to load one into their Model 3 in either the trunk or back seat. It seems like it may be a really tight fit so I would prefer not to buy it only to find it doesn’t fit.

Thanks!

I bought a 65” TV this past November. It was an LG OLED from Costco. Folded down the back seat and it fit perfectly! Of course I had measured before so no surprises.
Who would have thought no need to rent a truck but my M3 did the job.
Good luck!

In the box? If so would love to see a picture of that, lol

I'll need to remember to take pictures when I load my car next time it wasn't completely flat. I had to slide it in and it was laying at a slight angle. My dad's house is about 5 mins from Best Buy so he didn't mind.

You're absolutely right. It was actually a UHD. Dad kept changing his mind between the models and he ended up choosing the UHD. My apologies.

LG doesn't make a 70" OLED.

The large glass is at risk of cracking when not vertical or with support. The typical shipping boxes do not provide the support needed to lay the glass horizontal.

I rent a van by the hour from Home Depot for these jobs.

What glass are you referring to? Pretty much no TV has glass (a few LG OLEDs which are plastic mounted on glass excepting).

I meant UHD, corrected myself in a later post. My apologies.

I got the LG OLED E8. That thing is heavy! I thought it was two pieces of glass, but you're probably right.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that a high percentage of Tesla owners have OLEDs. Those TVs spoil you. Hard to watch a regular LED, even if it's got quantum/nano/mini/micro thingamajigs.

My 109" TV fits in my front seat...it's called an projector.

You could have just purchased a X and not worry about it.

Right. The LG E8 doesn’t have a glass display. Still plastic like every other OLED. Just LG marketing, sadly. The plastic screen is mounted on a piece of glass surround. Pretty TV, though!

And yep, once you go OLED there’s no going back.

 

[Jedi2155]

And that's why I haven't gone OLED. Because I want it big...and OLED big is $$$$$

The TV was over $2,000 (OLED) so I took everyone's advice and had it shipped from Costco online. It was oddly a better price overall from the online store versus the local store.

Did you get an extended warranty from Costco? I know they used to do that if you purchased with their credit card.

Yes, if you purchase the TV online they include the 3 year Square Trade warranty plus the 2 year Costco warranty for a total of five years of coverage. If you buy the Square Trade warranty in the store it’s $100, so I saved the $100 by buying online and I didn’t have to mess around with squeezing it into my trunk.

I am not sure who is serious or not here. There is no way a 65" in the box fits in a Model 3. A 55" without the box would be pushing the width of the trunk.

I’m certain a 55” in a box fit with room to spare with the back seats down.
I’d say a 60” would have fit. Not sure about a 65” though.

EDIT: here is a 65” fitting 65” tv box in Tesla model 3

 

[mbdionio]

can a 70" tv fit along the rear passenger area between the rear bench and the back for front seats?

 

[RayK]

Given that an HD TV has a screen aspect ratio of 1.78:1, a 70" diagonal screen would have to be at least 34.3" inches high and 61" inches wide. You can probably assume that the thickness is at least 5". Add a couple of inches on each side for bezels/blankets (assuming a disconnected stand) and that should tell you if you have enough room. If it's in a box, then that would depend upon how much padding the manufacturer uses.
