So let's start a pool on how often we'll get stopped in a parking lot.... [Larry the Cable Guy voice] "Hey buddy, there's sumthin wrong with yer rear wheels!"
When I'm parked somewhere standing with my motorcycle, people will tell me my headlight is on.

...My Zero can run the headlight approximately 85 hours before running its battery down.

I’m surprised no one has noticed in the close up pictures of the door buttons there appears to be some form of Sensor behind the glass.

Which is why I think Franz was possibly mimicking a button press.

Using the car's camera, I reckon eventually we will be able to train the AI to pick up our own personal gesture to open the door.

By the looks of the bed and underbelly, it looked like the thing had been off road with a load of cinderblock in the back. LOL.

Fit and finish looked VERY nice, except maybe around the tailgate, that seemed a little off.

I am not sure I like the look of the plastic "hub caps", hopefully there will be other wheel options available.

Impressive vehicle overall, can't wait to see more.
I remember the design first came to my attention with the Audi TT wheel around 2005, so the CT with covered wheels has grown on me.
We're all familiar with "Gutter Rash' which is often expensive to repair on any wheel. These "hub caps" will let me sleep a little better at night knowing they will be sacrificial. Surely, these pieces of plastic can't be too pricey! Or can they?

They're not expensive, Model 3 wheel covers are $25/ea. I guess the Cybertruck ones could be ~$50/ea.

Looks like run of the mill led, not a sensor.

the light you’re seeing is the cameraman with a mini-MagLight shining on the trim piece

I think the sensor being referenced is what the cameraman was trying to illuminate

better viewed in the video

No, I'm talking about the dead center one in the button.

Also, in the video you can see the kid on the other side trying to swipe the card key.

It's just an LED.

I agree it could just be an LED, but if it were just for aesthetics it wouldn’t need a clear window in the glass surface. You would frost the glass or paint it white from behind to give a cleaner look. That being said, this is a hand built pre-production prototype so lots of things can still change.

Maybe 120v outlets will be housed behind this door; driver side rear bed area?

"The F-150 Lightning has three available sources of power located in the Mega Power Frunk, cab, and bed. All locations have 120V outlets with an available 240V outlet in the bed with a 9.6-kilowatt variant."
