[Really hope durability testing is intense, like salt buildup, off-camber rock roads, cold soak, heat soak, FMEA, ...

Can the frunk fit two sets of golf clubs comfortably?

 

[Jhodgesatmb]

No one has ever seen the Cybertruck frunk nor has Tesla provided any information about it, or even whether there will be one, since the unveiling in November 2019. Anyone that says otherwise is lying to you.

Nobody knows for sure if the CT will be 5 or 6 passenger. There is some evidence it will be only 5 passenger (A "Tesla Employee" said so). My personal believe is it will be an option. I believe it is unlikely to be 5 passenger only because Elon said Tesla does not make production vehicles worse than the prototypes as a general rule. AND... on reveal night, having 6 large people get out of it was something they very specifically pointed out.

I'm hoping for 6 passenger, and I'll admit, my views may be partially biased by wishful thinking.

Please let the rear bed window roll down for HVAC camping mode... Wanted to be able to sleep in the bed, don't F it up Tesla.

A close-able vent between cab and back would suffice for that, and could be placed so as not to complicate matters with the retractable tonneau cover - which may have also been a reason not to have a pass-through.

Some option of airflow between cab and back would also be good if that would protect anything being transported from extremes of temperature (perishable or otherwise sensitive goods, or maybe letting a small animal stay in the back rather than being underfoot in the cab).

And I was hoping they’d make a 7 seat option, full bench seat across the rear and four seatbelts.

I am definitely confused as Elon stated some time ago (over a year) that the design was finished. He has mentioned numerous times that he would not make the CT smaller and he has also stated numerous times that he hates it when a new vehicle is introduced and when it comes to production it is completely different- would this not be an example of that?

No, he said engineering was finished. None of this is directly engineering.

No Pass through is a dealbreaker. It was perfect camper.

That goes on anyway in Australia, with or without seatbelts
