Hmmmm..... Imagine someone closing the CT tonneau and then driving an ATV on top. Would allow for storage underneath while still hauling the ATV. Not sure it wouldn't break the tonneau though.

Given the ground pressure of most ATV tires when properly inflated, not sure why you would think that.
Elon Musk walked on it, so a much higher pressure per sq-inch than those big, fat, soft ATV tires.

But you do it first and tell me how it went, then I might do it.

The sailplane toprails of CT’s exoskeleton can accommodate a purpose built system to carry loads. Load would bear on a ramp-on-sailplane scheme. Tonneau and tailgate function would remain fully independent. Removable ramps could bridge to a trailer behind or down to ground for two different loading options. It is possible an innovative design could spread load between CT and a tow behind trailer. Part loaded on CT and part bearing load on a hitched trailer.

For example a UTV loaded, its front wheels would articulate in unision with the CT. The UTV would straddle between CT and trailer. Only its front tires need rest on the rear of a CT(vise-versa reversed) A UTV would look different than shown above in the photo. Positioned only carrying a tire load on the CT’s rear would lower a loaded CT‘s combined C.G. by the UTV riding lower not needing to ramp all the way up and over top of CT(shown). That effectively keeps O.A. height of loaded UTV below Tesla engineered CT roofline mid-break. Engineering fulcrums exercise left to others.

A further embodiment, configured with a removable floor could bridge between sailplane ramps to carry load. A floor provides surface area to enable stacking materials like 22’ 2xX dimensional, trusses or longer, for example, on a CT. A bridging floor also enables carry of loads longer than 6.5 LF. longitudinall, extending over top of roof ridgeline and rear tailgate. The added floor area provides CT a second level(sloped) cargo bed on its angled sailplane exoskeleton. Such a second floor configuration removes all constraint in the horizontal plane which the CT‘s sailplane design enforces below the plane of its exoskeleton.

Bridging provides carry of loads longer than 22 L.F. over enabled by an articulating machine fitted to a rear trailer. Adding a T-shape structure with 180 degrees of freedom on the horizontal plane fitted to a tow trailer is one such embodiment. Ditto on CT. another option.
