And I read somewhere it’s 10% less efficient with the tonneau open

Same here. I don't want people taking pictures or videos everywhere I go. Or gathering around when I'm parked somewhere. Can you imagine if I ever were to run into AJT? My CT would be filling up his phone 🤣

Well IDK about all THAT lol but I would certainly take a pic of one/you in traffic. Assuming supply is fine, these will be EVERYWHERE here. EVERYWHERE. I've already checked one out at the dealer, remember...

I'll be used to seeing them, shortly. Assuming supply can meet demand which I don't know the facts on.

I would really be interested to see Tesla % in tony areas of cities around the USA. I see so many that I swear West Knoxville would be on the list. One right behind another, same model and (not standard white) color... all the timmmmme.

And If I ever got a Cyber truck (I won't) you're welcome to take all the pics you want. Snap your heart away 👍

i did not think he likes the attention it brings... he said it's a fact, he didn't say he likes it.
he also didn't like the wiper much, thought the range should be better, but yes, overall he liked a lot of things about it.

I may have missed that. That's why I called it a summary 👍

A subtle design difference... but in the rendering the crease in the metal is very linear and straight from front to back. In production vehicle it actually slopes upwards moving from the front of the vehicle to the rear. Everything else in the design of the truck looks virtually identical, but I think it looks better with the straight line in the rendering compared to production. I give them credit for getting this close from a rendering to actual production.
