At the very least the rear window should roll down. Much cheaper and less engineering to do vs a whole collapsing mid gate, which would only make sense if it collapse fully flat which is pretty tough considering its in direct conflict with the vault cover. I don't see them including one in my opinion.

look, like your right, the cover is rolled up under the bed

Again, it's a flexible object, it doesn't care.

Also, that diagram doesn't show how much space it takes. It just shows the path it takes. It might stop there, but we don't know, it doesn't say.

The rear window looks like in flips outward and up. This design would keep the flip function and window inside the tonneau cover movement and would explain the extension overhang from cab to bed.

As I was watching this video, I wondered if anyone has seen frunk open with the big ass wiper in place. That edge looks awfully close. I am still hoping they are messing with us with that wiper and something more subtle is on production version.

Far be it from me on this site lol, but the frunk may pivot away and up. Lots of space.
