I don’t *think* this is @greggertruck (right?), but echos several items relayed by @greggertruck
in all, starting to feel more towards a Rivian-sized truck, than a 1/2 ton sized truck
Namely:
• bed is “6”X4, from the wheel arch all the way back to rear wall of the bed “that’s because Tesla needs the extra space for the rear wheel steering”
• 5 seater instead of 6 seater
• needed to make it 5% smaller
• no pass through
• will have a frunk
A few other details
• plastic bumpers front and back “so they are 5mph compliant” - and seemingly that front bumper plastic reaches way under the front (note the apparent pop clip back near suspension)
Also, is that a carbon fiber underbody pan? (Photo enhanced)
• multiple tire options, investor day truck is on 35” 285/R18s (note the Franz truck was on a different tire)
• this back seat looks claustrophobic to me; not only is there minimal space between the back and front seats, not only do we know the “5% smaller” means they couldn’t fit 3 across (and so will be considerably narrower than most 1/2 ton trucks), but look at how the doors come up to chin height to back passengers
• here might here be an answer regarding the features at the top of the windshield / to either side of the front-facing camera:
this appears to me to possibly be a padded sun visor that either can be pulled back toward the driver (causing the padded bits to touch) or extended forward from the driver (causing the gap between padded bits seen above) - and when pushed forward like this appear from the outside as we’ve seen in other pics
a few other other bits and bobs to pick up from these photos:
And is this a rear facing in-cabin camera? If the rearview “mirror” is video, then an in-cabin rear camera would make sense for needing to view the back seat (kids in car seats, etc.):
and another pic from the IG post:
cargo rail system in better view, as are the tie down loops, and I’m getting the impression this tailgait might not be powered - just seems a lack of hinge-located umph for a motor to do the up/down work (but who knows)
