A couple things. Weather strip or some sort of strip between the tailgate and box would help cause thats where 90 percent of rattle comes from. Also the box locking mechanism are just 2 bolts. With the box down under the wheel well look in and use 2 9/16 wrenchs to loosen them up and force the bolt down for a tighter fit. Also that front rack was not put on right from the factory or dealer. It should be about a 1/16th of an inch off the front cowl. The side brackets that mount to the rops are not adjusted or on backwards. You should be able to lock the windsheild into itself with that front rack on.
You might try some adhesive mass dampening sheets on the underside of the bed. This OSs the stuff they use for sound deadening on high end cars. May not take away all the sound but should make it much less harsh.

That rattling box is a deal breaker for me. The reason i would buy a EV is because they are supposed to be quite!
Very minor adjustments would fix that
Use the fan when you go on hills on hot days, it cools your electric system. Check the steering wheel nut if it is not too tight
Add a thick rubber strip (same as in between the roof) on top of the rubber mounts of the bed. We do this to every Landmaster
