How many kids? Two is comfortable in the back seat. Three could fit, but I wouldn't do that to my kids for long-distance trips.
One of my biggest complaints is the lack of a ski pass-through in the rear seat. The rear seat is a 60/40 split so my kids have to sit together on the larger portion of the rear seat while the smaller portion is folded down to accommodate skis inside the vehicle.
One 29"r MTB fits inside the car with the rear seats folded down, no problem. I throw a packing blanket down to protect the interior of the car from mud and dings. For more than one bike, I use a
SeaSucker roof rack, ours holds 3 bikes. Works great. I also use the SeaSucker Monkey bars for hauling around paddleboards, ladders, canoe, etc. Might give it a try with a roof box when we go skiing in Banff this winter.
He doesn't strike me as odd, that's just how his detractors and the press likes to portray him. He's driven, optimistic (to a fault), on a mission (well a number of missions) and doesn't suffer fools. Lots of opinions on whether they'll be around in 10+ years. I'm confident they will be. I wouldn't even be surprised if they're the largest company in the world by sales and market cap in 10+ years at the rate the other auto makers are avoiding making the change to BEV. I'm not saying they will be, but I'm surprised and appalled by how there's no one else committed to producing highly desirable BEVs in volume yet after Tesla proved what was possible 6 years ago. I'd estimate Tesla has at least a 5 year lead on the competition, and in 5 years when the others are (maybe) getting to where Tesla is today, where will Tesla be? One thing about Tesla, they don't rest on their laurels, they're constantly innovating and improving.
