I reach over the sides almost every time I use a truck. Whether tightening straps on a dirt bike, loading the gas bottles at the front, sliding small things little gaps in while helping move people, or even just placing things like plants at the front so they don't get thrashed by the wind. I'm sure height plays into it, both for the person and bed height, but a Silverado with a full bed is a pain to hop up in and walk around stuff.
We won't know for sure until someone walks up to an unattended Cybertruck with a tape measure and notepad, but I think a CT in load-height (minimum road clearance) will be easier to load from the side -from the mid point of the bed to the tailgate - than a standard F-150.

The side height of an F-150 SuperCrew's 6.5' bed is 57". That's the height of the top of my shoulder and I'm 5'9", the US male average height.

No offense to the RAM, but it looks like a Model T driving on today's roads next to modern cars.
It’s all relative, the TRX, which is a version of the ram is what Tesla has been modeling as a benchmark forperformance for the cybertruck. Ram TRXā€˜s have been confirmed quite a while back at Teslaā€˜s bay area facilities. Elon has said he wants the cybertruck to run Baja so that leaves a raptor or TRX. I personally think the raptor and TRX are some of the best looking trucks on the road today. I think the cybertruck is very cool visually, and especially with the camo black white gray wrap that’s been running around, though I would not wrap mine, but it is completely a different animal from a design standpoint. From some angles I’ve seen it looks amazing from others like the rear. It looks ugly. But I’ve never seen one in person, so I hope I’m pleasantly surprised.

The rivian also looks much better in person in my opinion, compared to what was shown in the media
