Not trying to troll... I actually just came out of a lease on an F150. I couldn't stand how easily the aluminum body dented and scratched so easily. I am very much looking forward to my durable CT.
My CT design is just a little more traditional with mirrors and a round steering wheel.
A little bit more :?)

Not my issue. But would they really be that hard to clean with a built-in air compressor? Sure, if the aggregate is the wrong dimensions then yea, it would suck, but between not doing aggregate and having a compressor I'd rather have the T-slots. Different strokes for different folks, I get that they could actually be bad to have for some people.
tslot holes don't appear to be that small. I've only hauled 3/4" aggregate in my trailer. Would that even fit a tslot hole? Sand would be a pain but a compressor would at least help out. Isn't a tslot rail a long thing? To be unusable it would need to be completely/mostly filled with 'stuff'.

Yes, t-slot rails are a long rail. Often called 80/20 because of the main manufacturer. They are extremely strong considering their weight.

So strong that mounting something like this

could easily support someone standing on the edge. There were a bunch of conversations about them possibly being in the bed but nothing definitive and the pictures suggest probably not. (There is L-track on each side confirmed for tie-downs and anything else you want to mount). Until we see a production model, it's more wish list than probability.

It would be hard to reconcile T Slots in the bed with the apparent design of the under vault storage.

Youā€™d have to have a very thick lid to the under vault storage to have T Slots in it. Youā€™d also need the storage lid latches to be beefy enough to support whatever load you strap to it.

Iā€˜d have to dig around, but Iā€˜m pretty sure the only people who have had a chance to examine the bed said they were *not* T Slots.

This is one of those rumors that sort of gains a life of itā€™s own.

Well, the rubber lines on the deck look like the T-slots on my roof rack.
Since we havenā€™t seen the actual slots exposed let alone, anything attached to them, there is a lot of supposition going on.

Seems like an awful lot of machined metal on a car that is designed to be easy to build.

My theory: Itā€™s basically an adhesive/ filler holding the floor slats together. They put down the adhesive and press the steel plates into it. Then the excess is scraped off like tile grout is.

Looks like a pretty great list. I am going to add round steering wheel to the list. And I would really like to see the gate fold down flat so that you can sleep in the vault and the cab at the same time.
meh.... a yoke helps to keep your hands at a safe driving position.

Ventilated seats, 20k tow capacity, 5 person seating and a large center console, and 300 miles range while towing would be great.
