Two small tidbits I noticed on closer watch of the best video I've seen yet of the truck.
1. the ports in the side wall that people were hypothesizing were hvac ports for the vault are in fact strap/tie down points.
and
2. there is a plate light over the rear plate in the base of the tailgate above the plate that points down and illuminates the license plate. As seen below this is daylight/bright lighting with the sun coming from the complete front of the vehicle, and yet there is lighting on that plate nook. Since we do not see any lighting points on the bumber sides of that nook.. logically, the bottom of the tailgate at that point is probably a light bar similar to the rear lighting facing backwards. This is separate from the two yellow lights on either side of the plate mounting point.. which I assume are backup lights or additional turn signals?
Sure they are obscure and relatively unexciting features... but this is the stuff I am interested in seeing.. functionality that means they are making progress on finishing the design for production quality vehicle.
