One thread had the poster using a bigger square of paint friendly tape and a smaller square of something to hold the yarn to the first piece. I'd add—that could be hot melt glue before you cut a strip of tape into squares.
...and only half the cap needs to be tufted. A grid is a good start, but if you suspect separation, or worse—backflow, use longer yarns. A reconfigurable boom that gives a top rear view means you don't need a chase vehicle, although you could use one as well.
I'd skin it with Polymetal. Think strong as 5/8 plywood and light as coroplast. I haven't done a whole project with it, but I have tested samples. I could shear and roll it, but to brake an edge, I think you'd have to crush it along the line first. A 4x8' sheet is approx. $100 wholesale and $150 retail.

I'd be nervous about messing up. If you ruin that sheet and there goes 1 years fuel savings on the cap ^
