I gotta think this is one of the first times a Mach E has taken 2 stand up paddle boards on an outing. Now 2 weekends in a row with first time outings in my MME! Snowboarding last weekend and SUP this weekend. I'm pretty happy, I didn't want to lose ability to do fun outings like this after selling my last car for MME even though it's not as big as last vehicle and there aren't racks available for the car yet (that I know of).

What is the kit you're using to do that? Is it cross-bars, or basically just straps and foam cushions? Thanks in advance!

It's a set of two soft racks that came with the SUPs. My dealer said there aren't any roof racks or cross bars available for the MME, at least not yet.

Good question. I asked Google and this year's version of my SUPs are 30lbs each. So I had 60 lbs plus the very light soft racks on my roof. Hope that helps.

Hah! I took two SUPs to FL and back. Of course, mine were deflated for transport ?

i just checked yesterday and no fit kit for Thule racks yet.

Nice! Did strapping the boards on top affect your battery range at all? I'm thinking about getting one and would love to be able to take a couple kayaks on a road trip

I don't know how it may have affected the range. The lagoon is pretty close to my house. I didn't even get on freeway. Drive is probably only 20 mins.

Gotcha. Good luck with it. I'm sure you'll make it work. And at some point someone will release aftermarket racks like I've seen on Teslas with glass roofs.

Iā€™m too paranoid to put anything on the roof. 9ā€™ board fits in well.
