Another shot, next to a Model S.

I'm not sure how I feel about size/placement of the DRLs/fog lights. I hope they don't separate the "grill" to accommodate the lights. We need a clearer picture of the front before we can come to any real conclusions, I guess.

Not a matter of depth. Just the fact that in a normal truck the fridge is flush with the truck bed wall which helps stabilize it a bit. With this, the fridge will be sort of floating in the middle of the bed with only one contact point where the roof touches it.

Not a huge deal, just a bit awkward.
Just lay the fridge on its side. Did not want to disappoint the expected comment from me.

Move along, poor humor attempt

Under 19.5 ft overall length, book it. Actually looks to comp size wise with, dare I say the Rivian R1T?? Intriguing as their original target was F150.
I already knew this, but there is NO WAY that is going to fit in my garage! My S is already hogging a bunch of space and isn't near as long as the CT in the picture. Not a deal breaker for me, but I know it is a concern for a lot of folks.

I know some won’t like it, but I’m a fan, particularly if the bed is still big enough to tuck my bike.

Are there running boards or is that an optical illusion? It looks like there's tape around the bottom of the door itself and it makes it look like there *may* be running boards.

I am OK if the front end is shorter for a few reasons:
1) less surface area to catch a glare off of
2) you can see objects right in front of the CT (increasingly, trucks are putting grill cameras in
since their hoods are so damn high that you can see anything within 10 feet of the front of the
vehicle).
3) it should help make the CT maneuverable (especially off-road).

Yay, no retractable handles that can break (I've already replaced all 4 of mine on my Model S).

There appears to be a trapezoid storage depression in the dash. I wonder what that's all about?

The side mirrors don't really upset me that much (as long as they can be removed later, of course!)

I am glad that the windshield is curved. I think the CT has enough brutal angles, the windshield doesn't have to be one of them.

I hope the mono-wiper is just for the prototype and isn't the proposed laser wiper solution. I am interested to see the laser wiper in action!
I like all of your observations and feel the same myself. I was excited to see this video and loving the direction this is going.

Regular size wipers don't like snow and ice, so I'm not sure that one is an improvement ?

I guess there will be a need to strap it down, if that's the case, right?
I just hope they won't charge extra for the blue tape......
How many pieces of flair does the CT need, anyway? ;)

DO we think that is the resting place for the wiper? I guess it would maybe make sense since the windshield is now curved and it's so long. But it does seem like a visual hindrance where its sitting in this video
There is some weirdness with blue tape leading from the back up to the wiper which makes me think it’s temporary.
