Did you see my photo? It's exactly the same model with the same car.
It will fit unless you have lots of other stuffs in the trunk. You must fold the backseats though.

Excellent and inspiring post! I'm literally about to do this and I'm glad someone's tried it before! As it now seems like many have done since!
Make sure you measure the box, as it will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. The box was actually slightly bigger than the gap, but the wheel well sidings was able to "slightly" compress to allow the box to slide through. There was literally not an extra mm more.
I can thoroughly confirm you can ABSOLUTELY NOT fit a 75” tv inside the vehicle, especially with the box lol... I had to get a friend to come with a truck to lend me a hand... got a lot of looks from people wondering why I was just standing next to my car with a tv.. lol
I googled all over there... curious if there would be a good way to secure the 75” TV box to the top of a tesla model 3 on a Bike Rack with the windows cracked open for any lines etc? (Just use city roads no major freeway with the tv).
Just throwing ideas out there.

Just looking the 2 pics of 65" TVs was enough evidence for me to KNOW that a 75" would NOT fit.
I had a 8 foot x'mas tree tied up there last December without a bike rack (just on the glass roof).
I even drove thru In n' out to get lunch. The workers there said they appreciate us bringing X'mas smell to their place.

Those boxes have a "This side up" on it for a reason. Transporting those laying flat(the wrong way) can be hard on the screen so I suggest pay for the delivery or wait for the Tesla truck.
The one side raised a few inches distributes the weight less evening than all 4 sides flat or perpendicular. There is definitely danger of the TV glass breaking/distorting in that condition especially for such a large TV. I was scared enough doing it for 5 miles of driving through relatively safe roads, so I'm not sure how far you guys are driving and your road conditions.
I would never have tried a 75 period.
Hi I notice in the pic you have the hitch. What do you use to cover the bottom so you don’t get debris while the receiver is on ?
75" fits in a Model 3 without the box........but 82" will NOT fit.
YUP, fits........used a few pillows & blankets under the side I raised by a couple of inches.
I see pictures posted of people fitting a 65" tv in the back all the time and was dumb enough to not check the measurements of the one I bought. My box is 39.2" and I could not get it past the rear wheel wells and felt like a dope. I have a loaner Model S and am trying to figure out how much wider it is. I'd really like to not be the guy who tried picking up his tv in 2 different Tesla's and failed.
There's only 39" between the wheels in the rear of my Model S. With that said, we were able to bring home two different 65" TVs in the S several years ago.
Ive actually been looking up the box dimensions of the TV's that people have posted pictures of and most are in the 38" region. For some reason my 65" in the box seems to be a bit wider than most other boxes at 39.2". If we are talking .2" difference, I assume I can compress the box a bit to get it in, fingers crossed!
Usually there's a lot of room between the box and the sides of the TV. Maybe take a box cutter along and you could cut off the top of the box, if necessary.
