Those are a pain
Did I mention the part about being tall.
But I do like the look of setups with drawer style slide outs.

We shall see, normal truck is no issue.So you'll have no problem reaching over the sides of the Cybertruck

Something else to consider, the Cybertrucks we've seen are on 35 inch tires, right? Any "normal" truck on 35 inch tires is probably going to have a lift kit to fit them. Anyone but a mongo type is going to have difficulty side loading on such a vehicle anyway.
My truck specifies out tires in the 30" diameter. If Cybertruck's air suspension can drop 2.5 inches, it would be equivalent.

That, plus the ability for the rear of the truck to squat, and to extend a ramp from the tailgate to walk up, will make the side-loading a non-issue.
(more so if the tailgate, vehicle squat, and ramp extension is automated as a push-button feature)
I wouldn't say a non-issue. Side access is handy if what you want is in the front of a full bed.
Plus access for tie downs (heaping load with tarp requiring an open vault).

I'm not expecting an automatically extending tailgate ramp. Seems like a lot of complexity and cost for something easily done manually when needed, which will not be that often for most people.

You hit the mark with me on the loading fuel cans over the side, so, I'm on the same page with you as a tall person who routinely hoists five gallon gas and diesel containers over the side, then straps them down for the trip.
Just saying that with all Cybertruck has going for it the "issue" of side-loading will be eclipsed by all the other advantages it offers. Eclipsed to the point of side-loading not being a big enough problem to most making a purchase decision after weighing the facts and comparing the specs with other e-pickups.
Those who choose Lightning, Rivian, RAM, Chevy, will do so more because of a desire for classic styling or brand loyalty or Elon hate rather than because of side-loading alone.
And, they still won't be getting a Tesla.

I may hold out for a Porter, a Tripel, or maybe an Imperial Stout.
... and yes, this IS investment related.
