Assuming the user had independent control of the adaptive suspension, it's theoretically possible to remove a wheel and tire from the Cybertruck without the use of a jack or lift.
The stressed skin creates a much larger net section (inertia) than what is possible with a typical truck frame. This would result in less deflection from corner to corner, allowing the truck to lower the suspension in one corner, lifting that tire off the ground with much less deflection than a traditional body-on-frame. The distributed mass of the battery assures a similar loading on all four corners, making it possible to change all 4 wheels, one at time, without the use of any type of lifting mechanism.
At first glance it sounds like a simple party trick but, in reality, it could be a big game changer for the DIY or off-roader crowd.
