About that Overhang…

[Gurule92]

Overhang is mere inches. 2-3”

What do you want to see? I have 150ish images in good detail over the beta from Investor Day, most no one has seen.. incl the one @Ogre shared.
What do you want to see?

wtf?! Why have we not seen all of these?

Looks like a pretty large overhang, at least as wide as the lip under the window:

I dont remember this drama.

Not sure “drama” is the right word here.

Some people were definitely freaked out about the overhang intruding over the bed too far. I think mostly before the sightings were widespread there was concerns that even a motorcycle would bump into it.

I also know a certain TV delivery guy who worries about 6’ long TV boxes fitting in the vault with the gate closed. Just recently we’ve seen people suggesting the edge of the overhang would be 5 foot from the tailgate which would get in the way of a lot of things.

Mostly people who think they are experts at making measurements of 3d objects on a 2d surface.

Definitely wider than the lip.

Sticks out about the width of that tiedown. How long do you figure the tie down is?

 

[Ogre]

This is the bit people were concerned with, the part that overhangs the vault. It’s about the width of the red box which is roughly the size of the tie down. 4”?

if you’re describing the Peterson, cool

if you’re describing the pre-pro from investor day: negatory, ghostrider

Petersen. t is the only one I have seen in person.

JEALOUS.

And I agree roughly speaking that the Peterson prototype has a very different bulkhead and set of facets/proportions

The space is there for the light bar. I think it’s not something they need for testing.

The blackout cuts the middle and doesn't have a spot for the bar. I hope it's just a beta thing, but...

Two funny things about this quip is:

One: to critique someone who thinks they’re good at making such measurements, requires believing you’re better at it

Two: that you make these quips in a post you started, that performs the exact same function of estimating 3D measurements based on a 2D photo

You’ve basically said nothing aside from that I originally said and wasted a crapload of words and time doing it.

not true at all. Which just shows that the r real problem is you not understanding.

you said:

The overhang might be 6-8” wide, but that’s from the rear window. The rear window is inset about 4-6 inches from the rear wall

but you appear to not to realize the rear window is also sloped towards the tailgate

so the “inset” of the bottom of the rear window is nearly irrelevant to where the inset of the top of the rear window is located - which is from where the eave extends.

you’ve also incorrectly stated/implied that this “overhang” is the only feature relevant to whether

The more the overhang protrudes into the vault, the more it’s in the way of large objects you might be hauling. Yes, people care about that.

But if people like @greggertruck care whether the max bed length is 6’, then how much “overhang protrudes into the bed” is a function of not only of the overhang, but also the sloping bulkhead.

if the overhang we’re only 2” (it’s not), but the sloping bulkhead we’re 30” (it’s not), then the encroachment on a 6’ bed floor would be 32”, not 2”

the irony is that you’re so specially challenged you don’t even realize that your argument that a 2” overhang is the only encroachment on the max bed length, is that youimplying the CT bed is wildly shorter than 6’

Over. And. Over. You’ve only demonstrated that you “argue” only for your biases, and have near zero attention to detail.

So for every ounce that I should practice brevity, you should practice some intellectual honesty and rigor.

And now you’re onto it

that tie down hardware width is 5-6”

And to your misunderstanding, the eave starts at about the location of the front lip.

Someone with more time on their hands than me coming to more or less the same conclusion. Because… perspective matters.

This bit at the bottom is super interesting.

I wouldn't trust a product from someone scraping forums posts for dimensions.

I agree.

Not trying to give any specifics here.

I’ve seen a few people suggesting the overhang was going to be absolutely massive though and felt it was worth posting. We’ll get plenty of real data well before launch to make any real decisions on.
