It's has super car performance with truck utility with a mid level vehicle cost.
Also the frontier of next gen vehicles. Cybertruck in 50 years might be more revered then those classic 60s Mustangs.
Yeah, I've contemplated this a lot. The angles would definitely need to change, biggest hold back for this would be the head space in the cabin would be lessened to compensate for the short bed if you're to maintain the same angles.
See that's the thing, I wouldn't want a truck that's smaller by a whole classification of vehicle, I love the size and width of my 2 door Raptor. I just would like a shorter bed since I wouldn't use it much. In a perfect world, I would go for a Cyber(Jeep, Bronco, FJ). I think that's the next...
I wonder logistically how easy / difficult it would be for Tesla to offer the 2 different bed sizes. Biggest issue I see if the different sizes in wheelbase and having to alter battery and drive train setups.

Currently driving a 2014 Raptor which is going into the Cybertruck.
I mean it's still just as wide. Shorter wheelbase would improve turn radius and breakover point while shorter overall makes it easier in parking lots. Also weight savings in less material needed which translates to slightly less cost.
I would never lift a Cybertruck, just like you don't lift Raptors. If takes away a lot of the high speed off road performance and durability that comes from the factory.
But I wouldn't mind a 37" tires option.
How do you guys feel about a 5.5 foot bed trim option vs the current 6.5 foot bed?
It would effectively make the Cybertruck a whole foot shorter.
For reference all Ford Raptors (Supercab and Crewcab) only come with the 5.5 foot bed option.
