This looks like a unique Prius setup. Not sure how practical it is, but I’m curious how they’ve managed to make this work. Anyone tried something like this before?
There’s so much going on here
Ummmm.
Why am I skeptical that this is aerodynamic lol

The top is fine but the sharp edges on the back are going to create awful parasitic drag. I do not for one second believe that they’re still getting 50 mpg.
As long as it doesn’t beep constantly when the hatch is open then I want one.

I have this that I use sometime when hauling big stuff in my prius. You just push the loop end into the latch for the trunk and it thinks it’s closed. No beep

I think you can get a carabiner or similar and shove it into the latch. The car then thinks the hatch is closed and will stop beeping. I’ve only done this for camping and not driving, so your results might be different.
Reminds me of something from old Top Gear episodes.

Didn’t they push it off a cliff when he was off narrating?

No, that was Jeremy’s Citroen.
Why is the CHP there? Did he get pulled over for oversized load? LOL Anyways, at least he removed the hatch completely, I thought the other build smashing through the glass was just nutso. This one looks like he’s building a greenhouse though.
@Tarian
I think it’s his…
I am a huge fan of the old VW Westfalia Camper Vans so this really piqued my interest. Granted, not long after purchasing my first Prius 10 years ago and having hauled a bookshelf in it once (and not being able to turn off the blasted beeping for the tailgate being opened only a few inches), I remain highly, highly skeptical.
I need more info. How does it work? What are its advantages?
I can see why he blanked his face out. To avoid the embarrassment
