Video: Tonneau cover closing on Cybertruck Beta!

[ModelAZ]

Cybertruck tonneau cover in action!

 

[Macgreiner]

So quiet compared to Rivian's cover

This is a newer beta I presume right? because the mirrors are triangles.

It's fast and closed with a satisfying thunk. I hope the tonneau cover stays as standard equipment. My hunch is that to help make it affordable it will be an option.

Looks 1000% better than what the "engineers" at Rivian came up with. Def standard equipment!

Where are the alignment police when you need em?

who did this! xD Sentry mode activate

Don’t care about the noise.

So much more reliable than Rivian’s cover. That’s what I want.

Yeah ... given Tesla's notorious alignment *ahem* issues maybe it wouldn't have been such a bad idea to spend the coin on that secondary set of lights so as to keep the lightbar monolithic.

Wait. Where does the cover go when it is open? We can clearly see the back seats when the cover is open, so does it just curl up in the back roof? It seems like a rather thick cover. I'm guessing it's magic. . .

I think the standard practice for something like this is stacked under window

It is under the vault. Slides down the rear window and behind the back seats. There is a patent floating around. Also people who were inside when it opened.

i think it goes where the mid-gate would be..

Its going to be really interesting seeing Sandy Munro take the the cover apart, I can't wait to see what engineering magic they did to make it not jam, when mud or leaves get in it.

If you are reasonably bright, you will not roll it up when it’s covered with large amounts of mud, snow, or leaves.

But Tesla makes vehicles for all sorts of people so they likely have a leaf solution.
