I did a search, but didn't see anything regarding this, so here is goes. Mods, if I am wrong, I apologize. This would be a general how to post and parts list (where to buy and pricing):
1. I bought a general ABC fire extinguisher off Amazon for $20. (First pic below). It's a nice small one that would be good for a small fire in the cabin. Won't do much if the main battery pack is on fire, so that IS NOT what this is for.
2. Bought a quick release mount off AliExpress for $6.99 (Second pic below). Took a couple weeks to arrive, so if you are in a hurry, you can get them off Amazon, but you'll be spending $26. Just do a search for "fire extinguisher quick release mount"
3. Bought the Model 3 rear trunk organizer/side divider off Amazon for $16.99. (Third pic below). This is the mounting point for the quick release and extinguisher, as it is just velcroed in place and is easy to mount the fire extinguisher on to it. Buy a few bolts from Home Depot or Lowes or whatever hardware store is in your country. Get bolts that a about 1.5 inches long, two washers and nuts. The divider is just ply wood, so there will be no need to over torque this.
4. Mark and drill 2 holes on the divider. (See fourth pic below) Do a dry fit first, so your holes will be high enough off the bottom of the trunk, that way the fire extinguisher has clearance when mounted. Then put the extinguisher on the quick release stand. (See remaining pics)
5. Put the C-clamps around the bottle and attach the quick release. And yes, you can still pull the top off the lower trunk bay, without removing the fire extinguisher. There is just enough clearance. If you buy a larger extinguisher, this may not be the case though. Enjoy.
