All of a sudden what's "more American" is important

I'll tell you what's not American, is that pea sized Frunk in the Cybertruck......

That’s actually funny

But maybe it’s a different shape, wide and deep down vs deep in
Might be more functional

I was thinking the same, then I realized that the Lightning pickup bed is so short that it’s almost wider than it is long.
The modern truck trend for stunted pickup beds is definitely un-American
Granted nobody has measured the Cybertruck bed yet, but they were claiming a full size 72-78”
I love using the American made thing with rednecks, especially when they start to use the “good old American iron” trope

No you won’t unless you’re hauling crap in the back 24/7.

The Frunk is the most utilized cargo space in the Lightning next to the underseat storage.

Just like I would take a traditional truck bed as opposed to the CT bed that doesn’t allow for chucking *sugar* over the side….

BTW here is the CT towing ….. finally

It's not. There's a full picture of it now and it's about 1/3 of the size, doesn't have divders or a drain for ice and it appears there are no plugs in it nor does it appear to be automatic.

CT has a smaller cab and frunk, but 7" bigger bed than the Lightning.

CT has a smaller cab and frunk, but 7" bigger bed than the Lightning.

But is the bed more narrow than an F-150 Lightning?

Again, it comes down to the buyer being realistic about hauling crap in the bed vs the convenience of interior/frunk storage.

A lot of Tesla owners who will move to the CT are going to find out quickly that tossing Costco crap in the bed isn't convenient at all. The Frunk is where it's at.

I'm guessing the vast majority of CT owners will be driving round with the vault lid closed and will have removable vault organizers back there.
There's also all the fairly substantial under-vault storage areas as well.
Doesn't look like the side storage made it though.
