Speaking of Priuses...

One time a guy in a Prius came to get a 5k watt generator. This thing had a steel tube frame with wheels and handles, so it could be moved around like a wheelbarrow. We mentioned that it wasn't gonna fit in his Prius. He told us how wrong we were. We said "Okay but you understand that we're not responsible for damages"

We load it into the prius, he smugly says "See I told you" and then shuts the hatch, shattering his back glass because it didn't fit. He got all mad, I just handed him a broom and dustpan and told him if he didn't clean it I'd charge him a cleaning fee. We have dogs and i'm not letting his error mess up their paws.

He uses it, brings it back the next day.

The next year, he wants to rent the same one for the same event. I try to talk him into renting a pickup truck, or getting two smaller generators. Nope. Absolutely brings the same prius again. We point out that it doesn't fit, and he goes "Ah, but it's the metal frame that causes the problem."

I agree that yes, it is the metal frame that technically broke his window. So he rents it, I wheel it out, and put it behind his car. He demands I take it apart. "Nope. I rented it to you in this condition, this is the condition it comes back to me in. Let me know when you've got it apart and i'll help you load it" So he grumbles and borrows an adjustable wrench and takes it apart, we load it, he comes back and tries to return it taken apart. I point out that isn't how he got it. Put it back.

He does this same song and dance for 4 more years.

On the 7th year, he shows up in a panel van. I mention "Hey, now that you've got this it's gonna be a lot easier!"

"Oh, i've had this the entire time."

As someone who used to help load tvs, no, probably not. Most doors only open about 60° or so now without a release lever to let them swing wider. Combine that with long seats and center console curves and you'd be lucky to get larger than a 43" in most sedans

Well I never had to call the cops on the Generator Guy. He didn't really flip out at any point, he was just whiney. And he did clean all the broken glass so he's got that going for him.

The lesson for larger TVs has been to either have a friend with an SUV, or have it delivered. And since delivery is free from so many places now, that's far and away the easiest thing to do.

Not a chance. If you’re super lucky a 60” tv in box will just barely fit across the back seats of a modern car. 65” and there is no chance.

Take it out of the box and it’ll probably fit tho.

I tried to get a 46" tv in the back seat of my Camry in the late 2000's and couldn't actually get the doors closed, so I had to go rent a Uhaul to get it home. When I finally upgraded to a 65", I had that sucker delivered.

Setting aside all the obvious structural issues with doing this... You have to keep the stair area clear to be able to unfold them anyway, wnd it's not like you can clear the space from the upper level either. What benefit could folding stairs like this possibly have?

I can fold down the back seats in my car to extend the trunk into the passenger area. The opening isn't the full width of the car so I'd have to measure it first, but I bet I could get a 60-65" TV in a box in there

Giving the benefit of the doubt that there was any thought at all put into this beyond "hmmmm, social media likes and reposts..." if the area is somewhere people pass through often, it could provide some extra space to get through a poorly-planned hallway.

But it could be executed in like five-hundred ways that would be better.

The box for a 65" tv won't even fit into an attic door, I would honestly eat my hat if you could get one in the back of an average car. They're surprisingly large and unwieldy, even if they are crazy light these days.

Modern LCDs are probably OK to lay flat, but plasmas were not. Both the TVs and packaging weren't designed for horizontal rigidity, so the glass panels would crack easily when transported that way. It's been ingrained in a lot of people to never lay a TV flat.

I still have the box for my 65" tv so I just went to measure it: 64"Lx38"Wx7"D. I'd be shocked if you can get this into a car somehow, I can't even store it anywhere besides my basement because it is so gigantic. I couldn't even get the 46" TV to fit through the passthrough with the seats down.

The situation in which I would build the foldy stairs (and what I assumed I was looking at in the pictures initially) would be a tiny home where your upstairs is a loft with a bed in it. It's utterly worth the initial effort to fold up stairs you won't use all day, that's at least ~a standard fridge amount of walking space freed up.

I would, however, not build it as a mechanism to focus an entire human's weight on the tension axis of a few 1" wood screws
