This is great work! I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong. I thought I had seen every spy shot, these are from the test track aerials and the first appearance of the BAW. Still doesn’t explain the lack of marker lights on every single other sighting and prototype, unless it’s just been a massive secret.

They may just not have them turned on. And they don't need them if it's not going on the highway. I think the test units having them indicates they always intended the truck to exceed 80" and need them. Cybertruck will be a beast.

Sixteen pages added after I was asked a question?

How about no, I didn't watch the video. I didn't think there was anything there. I said so on the first page.

PS:
Anyone know if the price of FSD is locked in with my registration? At the time of registration, I chose FSD option at $8000.
By California law, where they made this offer, they must keep the promise to sell FSD at the reservation price.

Exactly! I was thinking the same thing. If what he says is true...and... If the vault is closed and the window comes down, you can get to the bed. May not be ideal, but that makes it possible to sleep securely in the vault. The mid-gate for the Avalanche, Escalade ext, Silverado EV, etc. was because the bed is shorter. CT doesn't have that problem. I would like a mid-gate but this may do, not sure about the HVAC reaching the vault.
Where does the midgate window go when it is opened? It can't slide through the corners in the midgate, can't fold up or down into the cabin because of the rear seats, and if you are lucky it's 12-14" high, which is extremely uncomfortable to get through even for a small person, especially at the height it is over the bed.

Zero normal adult size humans without severe eating disorders and contortionist training will be getting through the window into the bed. Even if that were somehow possible, Imagine getting stuck and the fire department having zero solutions for cutting the truck apart to rescue you.
They have plenty of solutions, FD deals with this kind of stupid all the time.

What your truck looks like when they are done might not excite you though.

Yes, that would be depressing, but it is nothing compared to how I would feel if they drop the range below 500 miles, which MDR suggested. He says that he is a truck guy, but he said that 350 miles of range is all anyone needs. These statements don't make sense to me. Sure, a 'real' 350 miles would be fine, but that would be after 20%-80% effective range, winter weather consideration, and payload consideration. If like all the other Tesla cars, 'his' (EPA) 350 miles goes to 210. The winter factor takes it down another 30% (from my experience this past winter Model Y road trip), to 147, and whatever hit we would take for payload would be added to that. I suspect we wouldn't get more than 120 miles with any real payload in the winter. That is a joke and any truck person should agree. That said, I could see Tesla doing that to us and for the first time since all of this began I am seeing a show stopper for me. 500 EPA is really a threshold number for me.
Batteries are not ready for 500 miles of range?
if the cyber truck pricing deviates too much from the originally announced prices as this Mathew guy predicts - I think a lot of reservations would get canceled (including mine).

didn't Rivian's Stock take a record dive after their price hikes on their debut vehicles for retail buyers - which was followed up by massive reservation cancelations

and ... comment from June 22nd 2022 published on InsideEV's
"Tesla's CEO also commented on Rivian's price hikes applied earlier this year. He noted that when you increase the price, you "reduce the number of people who can afford the vehicles exponentially.""
You are correct
