Here are 2 pictures of the 2024 Chevy Silverado's mid-gate.
The bar between the wall and the glass is removable. I wonder how.
Hopefully this wildly successful and Tesla makes the Cybertruck's mid-gate even better.

It doesn't need to be deleted. Unbolt it yourself. It just needs to be a module independent of the left and right seats. I plan on unbolting mine.
But if that drawer is a refrigerator I will keep it and just fold the seat back down and climb over when I need to get in the back without going...

Maybe the seats could actually be the wall. The dimensions as seen in the seat patent seem to work.
Here the tonneau rolls high into a 4" canister and the 60/40 seats ARE the wall. The window folds forward and up.
Those who don't want it can just ignore it.
I'm in St Paul, have a Model Y and am a member of the MN Tesla club on Facebook.
My delivery position is about 450k.
I ordered the tri- motor but will buy whatever is earliest.
Some people in this thread have multiple reservations earlier than mine. DON'T FORFEIT. Buy both and sell me one. I...
EPIC!
6'11" (just fits in garage & car wash)
Perfect aerodynamics.
Inexpensive (It's a topper)
Lotsa glass with a moonroof & 6" tall back window.
Works great with a Mid Gate!
Two panel tonneau looks like it could fit in the ceiling above the rear seat. The new rear roof lip lines up with the front of the wheel fender. Front blue line is forward limit of width for the panels.
I'm hoping this is why they extended the roof lip - to facilitate a mid gate.
I have wondered if an RV version could work with the rear glass roof removed. But then you may just as well remove the wall too. The mid gate idea has been around forever and I would be surprised if the back wall was designed as essential structure.
There are 2 brands of aftermarket rolling tonneau covers.
Retrax rolls into a canister 11" in diameter.
Roll 'n' Lock fit's inside a 7" canister.
Could a 7" canister fit just behind the rear window? (yellow in drawing)
This would make the Mid Gate much easier.
Retrax also has a motorized...
Could the 12" extension on the rear roof and it's lack of transparency indicate a possible 3 panel tonneau that conceals in the ceiling?
It would make the mid-gate easier.
Panels would need to be 21-22" wide and incredibly thin, but it looks like they could fit behind the point where the roof...
