I ordered the 20”. To the casual observer the difference between a premium and dual motor with 20” will be zero.

I’m setting my rig up for road tripping. It’s also for making dump runs etc., but I want it to be as efficient as possible on the highway. I deleted the terrestrial armor because although cool, I’d be paying $3000 and almost 200 pounds extra weight for the coolness. I’m not going to be doing anything that requires rock rails anyway. I resisted the temptation to order side steps during Amazon prime day because if you look under the side steps most people are buying, it looks like they never considered the importance of aerodynamics. It’s a ridiculous row of metal plates sticking perpendicular to the air stream. You’d have to work to make it any worse. My mods so far are: aluminum wheels (9 pounds lighter per corner), digital rear view mirror, cool center console and floor mats. I make trips up into Wyoming and the Dakotas and trust me, every bit of extra efficiency is good to have!

In almost all efficiency tests that have been done with running boards, they have shown a negligible impact.

Depends on your definition of negligible. A few percent for running boards, a few percent for under inflated tires, a few percent for driving 80 instead of 75, a few percent for not using FSD. It all adds up.

I still don't like them hanging down like that and reducing ground clearance. It can be a day killer at the beach if you dig into sand with those on. Probably rip the giga cast off if you force pulled it. Ofcourse there are a couple of steps that dont stick out of the bottom but its still a considerable weight and $ expense.

I don't consider the premium, premium. Just a differently optioned ct. the adaptive coilovers and seats are an upgrade to me

The casual observer won't see a difference between a Cybertruck and a refrigerator. But the Premium or Beast owner will know we have El Cheapo. Personally I don't care what others think.
