Could these covers possibly flip open and allow storage inside? It’d be quite narrow I guess, so maybe not.

See how the edge cover slightly bends/molds around the bed cover? My guess is that's for weather proofing (at least better than usual) the tonneau cover. If the wing storage still exists at all (I doubt it) then it wouldn't open from the top like that, too many moving parts through there.

I'm not expecting to see the window itself. But there should be at least a hint of ambient light back there from the presence of the window.
A camera phone contrast correction would make it invisible.

Also, it looks like he cover is partially out. If this follows the original patent submissions for tonneau storage, then it would completely cover a rear window unless completely retracted.

That light above the tailgate should be a lightbar all the way across and have the option to change color and strobe depending on the circumstances.
I hope its doesn’t end up as nothing as a consequence of a tailgate mechanism

I see hinges on both sides for the sail storage!! But they could be mounting points for accessories hmm... 🤔

Damn we are so close guys/gals...hopefully all the details mar 1!!

It's a hickey.
