Second video is awesome. My observations:

-New steering wheel! And it looks awesome.
-No driver display :(
-Grill likely goes up with front hood to the frunk.
-Trail cam.
-No upper light bar on this one, those are sun shades.
-Ramp is probably still there, pops out of top of gate.
-Sail storage is almost certainly there.
-Looks like a rear display screen.
-Bed storage is there.
-Nice simple two-tone interior with black and white.
-Rear seats fold up.
-Very likely no mid-gate, but lowering rear window seems probable.
-Hubcaps return!
-Looks great!
Agreed.

What is your source saying that its a production line truck?
The fact that it says “Production Beta” on the sign in front of it is a good hint.

Though not 100%. Nobody seems to agree what “Beta“ even means, toss in “Production” and I’m sure it’s even more contentious.

I think when you say “Production Beta” you would be talking about a beta from your… production line. Likely not 100% complete.
What my colleague said..

We (most of us here) have been anxiously waiting for test castings and test folded exoskeletons to show up, but they haven't. So if they are making it in GigaAustin the parts are all likely coming from elsewhere. That would put the notion of a 'production' beta in question. Rather, I suspect that what they mean by production beta is the design level rather than the tooling level. But I have been wrong enough times...

That truck bed needs a lot of work. I don't know about you all, but I use my truck bed like a bulldozer bucket. I throw lumber over the back, i throw bags of concrete in there or CMU blocks, I take it and fill it with mulch, i just had 400 wood fence pickets in there. It need to have few seems and few plastic parts that can break or get caught on stuff. I am looking at the first foot of getting stuff in the bed and thinking this was designed by engineers and art students trying to make clean lines and the people who actually use this bed for what truck beds were designed to do are going to really not like this bed. Most truck beds have a metal upper edge for durability, this has a plastic one. most beds have eased edges to make things slide in and out better. This is not a truck users bed. There is a soft rubber door seal right at the edge. How long do you think that is going to last. The IT guys going to take their motorized mountain bikes out once a month are going to love it, but this truck bed will not be preferred by people using the bed for work involving moving building or agricultural materials.
All trucks are designed by engineers, none by art students. Their claimed payload is around twice competing trucks, so if they live up to their word the bed should have no problem with some loggy logs or mulchy mulch.

I think Power and compressed air(likely rear only) will be behind both rear and front fold down number plates.

Hey now, this IT guy loads his KTM dirt bikes every weekend and his camping stuff at least once per month! :). My GMC2500 has plastic Bed Rail Caps - the metal ones just dent and get jacked up too. Soft Rubber Door Seal is for the integrated ramp - us IT guys may not be able to figure out how to use a non integrated ramp like you real truck guys. :).

Not sure I would brag about 3% shrinkage. It would imply that the subsequent growth is at max 3.1%. No one's going to be impressed with 3.1% growth. How would anyone know if you were happy to see them?
It all depends on whether you're a shower or a grower...
