Motherlode of Cybertrucks pics from Mexico hotel -- frunkgating, offroad gear, bed & interior peek!

Where do you want the power to traverse to the light bar? The top is solid glass back to the bed. There are the 2 side rails but I think they are solid (short of the mounting points for racks). Maybe some sort of induction power transmission through the glass to the light bar?

If the light bar was behind the glass, it would be much easier to power. But it would need to stick to the glass like the front camera does so no light leaks into the cabin.

Was hoping there was a cross beam in there....

Just a curious thought....

If the light bar was covered by an LCD type light filter, would it be considered to be covered in the legal context? When you want to turn on the lights, flip the switch and the lights turn on while the LCD filter allows the light to pass through. When you have the lights switched off, the LCD filter blocks light transmission so the lights are not even visible beneath the filter. No need to get out and (un)cover the light bar.

That Forrest Gump-like park bench seating position looks comfy. All he needs is his box of chocolates

A person sitting in the frunk makes it look somewhat small and shallow. ie. he is not very far from the back of it

Has anyone seen a CT car jack in any photos? Where would it be located? The CT is not going to be light so changing a tire, especially when off-road, will require at least a 3-ton jack, maybe an air jack using compressed air from the CT. These seem to be overkill but might be the best way to go. There has to be lifting points on the underside but where are they?

I can tell by the pattern of the dust on the rear door's armrest that they were test driving the left one with the tonneau cover and rear glass open. ?

1.) Lightbar
2.) Starlink (unmounted)
3.) Starlink (mounted)
4.) Radio Antenna

If you see more than 3 cables on the right, I believe those are just the shadows.

If the roof top racks had a way to feed cables through the bar and down the middle of the attachment points, that would be a much cleaner look and more secure/protected.

If you are only comparing trucks: it becomes a trade-off between the frunk and the bed. Looks like the CT trunk is a bit smaller than the Lightning or Silverado but the CT bed is larger.

Personally, I like the larger bed. It won't be often that I need to put a person in the frunk. The bed will be more versatile for that.

Jim Farley’s comment about the CyberTruck not being a real work truck is getting shot to hell.

With independent air suspension, the computer can raise three corners to high, then bleed the pressure on the wheel you want to change. Granted, without a dual action air cylinder the fourth wheel wouldn't be able to raise itself, but a tiny scissor jack under the A-frame would only need to overcome the weight of the tire and wheel. Like maybe 50 lbs.

Well, I think we have an entire car company built around disproving THAT theory!

So what you’re saying is, Tesla hasn’t done anything (yet) to make you believe that they might POSSIBLY do something that no one else has figured out how to do???

Possibly

I would expect that having a jack only really helps if you also have a spare to put on it instead, and as such because there is no spot to put a spare, there's also no jack, or dedicated place to put it in the CT? To patch a tyre you don't really have to take the tyre off, just have to roll it to the right position, raise the suspension for better access, patch, inflate and drive away.

But there are better airjacks available that are more portable in size:
