Yeah i caught that too, seems they cut away and Elon was holding up the tailgate before they rolled again and he let it down but no one pushed a button. It's also possible they put some bracing under the cover so it didn't bow under Elons weight.....

I am wondering, since during the reveal Franz opened the vault cover first then the tailgate, if they don't currently have it worked out so you can open the tailgate while the vault cover is closed. It is a prototype after all :)
It looks like Leno closes the cover. It's also possible he pushed the gate release.

It's possible, but it does seem a tad off in the video. Elon turns to talk to Franz starts to say something, then cut and hes holding the tailgate.

B/ The triangle one is for opening the sail cover . . . . or is this for the tailgate
Tailgate. Two sequential button presses at the 4 minute mark on this edited video first one to start opening cover and second aft button to release the gate.

While we're working on mysteries, how do we operate the tailgate ?

There is no latch or handle on the inside or the outside !

The 3 buttons on the top surface of the rear of the sails are actually 2 buttons and recess where the roof racks are fixed into.

The 2 button are :
A/ The rectangle one is for opening and closing the tonneau cover.
B/ The triangle one is for opening the sail cover . . . . or is this for the tailgate ?

A way to switch on or switch off the lights in the bed are also in question ?
my best guess is this : https://www.cybertruckownersclub.co...hole-safer-than-a-vault-thing.3058/post-49870
