All of this makes me wonder… how long before someone installs a kegerator in the Cybertruck permanently?

kegerator in the frunk with spigot in front passenger dash?

Of course while traveling, usable only for root beer or ginger ale.
I was thinking it would work well in the vault with the tap and pint glasses in one of the sail pillar storage.

This brings up an interesting question. How long after FSD becomes a reality will the laws catch up and allow drinking while riding? Guessing if passagers can override the FSD (grab the wheel) it wont happen. Maybe you could drink but only if you were in the back seat of an FSD CT. However, if the vehicle is FSD only and doesn’t have passenger controls why not allow drinking and FSDriving.

Right. Robotaxis with no user controls should allow beer just like with charter buses and limousines.

Tips for Drinking Alcohol on a Charter Bus
by Taylor Davidson

https://www.nationalbuscharter.com/blog/tips-for-drinking-alcohol-on-a-charter-bus/

1. Research your city’s laws.
While the federal government doesn’t forbid drinking on a charter bus, individual states and cities may. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to do some research before you book your trip to make sure the cities you’ll be in allow drinking on a charter bus.
Some cities also have special regulations about drinking alcohol on buses. For example, in Chicago, all buses with 15 or more passengers must have cameras and a licensed security guard onboard if passengers are drinking alcohol or if the bus stops at locations that serve alcohol. Having a security guard can cost you a lot of extra money, so keep that in mind if you want to rent a charter bus in Chicago.

2. Let your reservation specialist know you want to drink onboard.
When you call National Charter Bus at 1-844-755-0510, it’s important to let us know if you want to drink on your bus so we can find the right provider for you. Many bus providers allow passengers to drink alcohol, so with sufficient advance notice, we will most likely be able to find a bus and driver for you. We’ll also take care of letting the driver know that you’ll be drinking.
Many operators require passengers who will be drinking to pay a deposit or cleaning fee ahead of time. If your provider does, we’ll let you know when you call us.

3. Be prepared to prove that everyone drinking is 21+.
When you board the bus, you may be asked to show your ID to confirm that you’re 21 or older. If anyone in your group is under 21, they can still ride on the bus at the bus provider’s discretion. However, you are responsible for ensuring underage passengers don’t drink during the trip.
Some states also have laws about underage people being on buses where alcohol is present. In California you have to designate an adult over the age of 25 to serve as a chaperone for all underage passengers. The designated chaperone must sign a form that outlines their responsibilities, check the ID of all passengers, read a statement about alcohol being forbidden to those under 21, and notify the driver if a minor consumes alcohol.
Although California is especially strict, other states may also require chaperones if underage passengers are present. Make sure to check your local regulations and let us know if you’ll have underage passengers when you call to reserve your alcohol-friendly bus.

How can limousines and party buses serve alcoholic beverages legally while other vehicles can't?

Laws vary by jurisdiction, so check with yours before drinking in a vehicle, but, in many places is is legal for passengers to drink, as long as the driver is sober. Limousines generally have a partition separating the driver from the passengers. Limo/party bus drivers generally have a chauffeurs license, so they cannot have any alcohol in their system while driving or risk losing their license. Limousine drivers generally don’t serve or provide the alcohol, it must be provided by those renting the vehicle. (Hire a limo then have your assistant stock it with your favorite bourbon before it comes to pick you and your client up??). I assume party buses have similar rules, and possibly have special liquor licenses. If anyone knows more about party buses, feel free to comment.

Is it considered an open container if you just have a hose going into the cabin?

Regardless, around here I don't think police ever enforce open container laws. When I was in California where traffic stops were more common people were terrified of open containers and DUI. Around here seems like cops are more worried about other things.

Not sure how I feel about that.

I have seen people arrested for having nothing more than open beer bottles in a car.

Yes, that's how open containers work.

The person seemed to indicate that the open container laws were weak and not enforced in their area, but that is not true in my state under most circumstances.
