    Musk: 'Demand For Cybertruck Is Above What Tesla Can Do In 4 Years'

    Has anyone given any thought to a camper shell that could be mounted on it? I'd love to see this: The pop-up feature would allow it to be garaged; the window space is fantastic; it looks wide enough to sleep a six-footer; and it even has a similar side-view elevation to the Cybertruck...

    Effect of Tesla Roof on Home A/C

    Considering all the above, the optimum would seem to be a white roof with R-60 insulation, and solar panels installed with an air gap between them and the roof. It should also be cheaper than the Tesla roof, a more proven (and more easily installed) technology, and with financing the Tesla roof...
