minus-squareAAA@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·2 days agoNot just the roof rack. The whole car is probably close to the max allowed weight. The container is seemingly at around 60%, so 600L. Gas is ~25% lighter than water, so we’re looking at something like 450kg. I don’t know the model, but a lot of similar or even bigger cars max out at +500kg (per specification). Most cars have less allowance. And this is just on the roof. Not counting the container, passengers and other stuff. Truly a marvel of engineering.
