Tetris-ing four people, a fridge and luggage into a Model 3

We know our Tesla Model 3 can fit a 50L camp fridge. And we know it will take a large travel suitcase, or four people and some luggage. But we didn’t know if it would take all that at the same time. It took a fair bit of Tetris-ing, and the boot strained at the seams, but we managed to get everything in. I think we might need a bigger car.
First stop at Eumundi Markets. We parked in the shade and later opened the boot so the fridge had some outlet for the hot air.
Second stop along the highway at Burpengary for some fast food lunch.
Then we delivered Erin and Isaiah to their accommodation in Brisbane before their flight back to Airlie Beach tomorrow.
Charging
We charged up a couple of days ago at Tesla Superchargers while we had dinner. Today, since we stopped along the highway anyway, we plugged into one of the bp pulse fast chargers. After the faf I had the other day with one, I’ve learnt to get the session and payment started in the app first, then plug in. It worked first time. But I wish it was as easy as it is at Tesla and Evie chargers, where I can just plug in and walk away. The payment and session is all automatic.
I would have preferred to stop at an Evie charger along the highway, such as at the fast food service center near Beerwah, but for some reason the Tesla navigation didn’t show that as a charging option. Disappointing.
The best one (fastest) is the Evie 350kw at coochin creek. Bit further north of us on side of highway beside McDonalds
A Model Y?
/runs
The only things with the G6 that I saw as negatives were that "Ludicrous Feed" had issues getting it to connect to Tesla superchargers and that the energy use seems higher than (even) the Model Y. To most, those would be mere nit-picks.
Good luck with your tests. :)
You've got the ABRP app yeah, with all the travelling you do?
