Looks like they take the CT into the Boring Co tunnel, or at least the lift?

Those seats look like they'll fit my 6'3" perfectly. I hope the leg angle is comfortable too. I prefer a 80-90 degree angle when i can, like when i sit in an office chair. Mostly only pickups offer those positions. My 4runner is not like that, and uncomfortable after 45 minutes.

That's a LOT of sunlight on Jay INSIDE of a car. Perhaps this is like the original MotorTrend Model 3 with the almost clear roof glass. I really wanted that until I sat in my TM3 for extended periods and bleached just a little bit and realized I would be bleaching that much ALL THE TIME. I now have a mesh product that I put up to cut the sun in the summer.

I hope the future holds glass that can be electrically blocked so you can turn it off at night you can see the stars.

I don't know, the skeptic in me says that's TV lighting magic inside the CT.

Yea they make this, but it'd likely be an expensive feature. Mclaren MSO put it on one of their cars.

McLaren has an electrochromic glass roof to fix the 570GT's solar issue

Personally, i hate sunlight from above since it isn't blocked by my sunglasses. I'd likely just tint the roof with a dark ceramic tint (UV blocking of course) if i had a care with a panoramic sunroof.

Looks like next Wednesday, May 27th.

Am I the only one stoked by the picture of Elon standing on the vault cover? I was NOT expecting it to be that strong! When I saw it roll up like a roll top desk at the launch, I just assumed it must be a fairly flimsy material. I guess not!

Wonder if tis solar, will it still be as strong?

In this particular photo I don't think it is, but of course I could be wrong.

Tonneau covers that can be stood on are nothing new, but it's nice to see that it appears standard equipment on the cybertruck. A few companies make them that support up to 500lbs on top.

I've never seen one that can support that kind of weight and still roll up behind the seats.

Ones like these that roll up, this one allegedly does 500lbs distributed. Was going to buy one when I got a Tundra, but didn't want to lose the bed space.

Very cool. I hadn't seen this before. Thanks for the link.

Wouldn't glean too much from that, it looks like the "in car" part of the interview was done using a green screen.

Here we go!!!

So what are the CT reservation numbers up to this morning?
