I suspect there is an interesting economic advantage of the screen here.
My suspicion is that screens are both cheaper and more durable than physical buttons. can anyone more knowledgeable confirm or deny this?
Buttons and knobs have all sorts of moving parts and even require some proper r&d...
this shines a bit of light on the question about the differences between the original teaser pics and the prototype and how the sort of faceted hood in the teasers would interact with a flat windshield or if the windshield was also faceted st that point in the design
Keep in mind that ct steel will be cold rolled, which is a much higher quality steel. note the difference between the rule on a starret combination sqaure vs your standard, cheaper combo square rule

this is an interesting effect of optical mirrors ~ when you look through a mirror at an object, the effective distance that your eyes need to focus at is the distance from your eyes to the mirror plus the distance from the mirror to the object. Try looking at distant object in a mirror and then...

I wanna know specs see pics
Another line of questioning:
Will Cybertruck only ship...

When we first heard about it it was super hyped like 'the largest building by footprint ever' and all that (elon sure loves his superlatives).
they just stalled development a quarter of the way through building the thing...
