And Elon said it was longer than six feet.

Men will always exaggerate a length measurement though. Let's call it 6' for now. Final confirmed measurements will be forth coming.

I just can't get over the fact that almost every cybertruck I see lately have been filthy as fuck. Everyone going off roading or washing not an option. I'm going to have to open a car wash just for my cybertruck ..

The camera's are wired in yes. But they are under the glass. If the light bar is above the glass there will need to be power to the roof somewhere. Also, if there are going to be other powered options up there, then power would need to be available up there. Seems like induction would be a great option for that.

Induction at those power levels would be fairly large, bulky, and costly. Much easier to use some windscreen embedded, flush mounted pogo pin type connector.

I could see that being a thing.

Only I'd want the connector to be standard on the vehicle. The last thing I need is some aftermarket installer messing up and breaking the glass.

The original light bar moved outside. Why not the wires? Were the lights to run on hopes and dreams?

I think many of these accessories will be factory install only at time of order - and involve some wiring installation that wasn’t built into these RCs

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???

To put it simply, I think (but don't know) that Tesla has abandoned the idea of including a tailgate ramp with every Cybertruck. We will know soon enough but I'm not holding my breath.

If the CT floats you won't have to hold your breath.

Oh, the Cybertruck will float for sure. The only question is for how long?". I bet the average is around 10 minutes, longer than I would want my chassis submerged (and certainly not in salt water). That's because water starts leaking past the seals on the wheel bearings, brakes start to absorb water, cooling fans can get damaged by slapping water, etc.

It could sink faster depending upon the condition of the door seals and the state of the wind and waves. Sinking is bad.

Would have liked, but not essential floating, midgate, sail, 6th seat.

Air would be regular use, I expect lots of washboarding and sand travel, but I can BYO.

But I bet I will have a lot of fun with the loaded tech which I don't know anything about lol

Imagine it's like 6' 3".....Camp Mode perfection, unless of course, you're 6' 4"+

I think that would give you about 7'5"?

CyberTruck, the Shaq camper!

No. The original light was inside where the header was. I thought you were saying they could power the external light with the same power from the cameras. Further, that sounded like you thought the power was outside. I misunderstood, apparently.

Of course, Tesla will come up with some way to get the power outside. I suspect notches in either the roof glass or windshield. Then, there will be some kind of grommeted power and ground lead terminating in some kind of receptical that can be capped flush with the aero. Then, aftermarket items can tap into power there with a standard plug. Maybe there will be a signal wire as well as power unless Tesla signals over power wires... That will allow controls to be with the accessories.

I'm admitting total ignorance on inductive charging limitations, but I wonder if embedding a 48v inductive coil between laminated glass panels would be capable of wirelessly sending enough power to an externally mounted LED lightbar to light up the night while off-roading? Putting a receiver coil in a suction cup mounting bracket would surely be able to deliver adequate 5v power to LEDs, right? The control circuits could be bluetooth eliminating the need for signal wiring to the lightbar. If 48v driven Qi charging could deliver adequate power, there'd be no need for penetrations of the glass or the frame?
