    Some more pics.

    Disclosure: I’m 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighed in at 270 pounds this morning.

    I’m glad Tesla is not making Cybertruck smaller.

    Elon had spoke of possibly building a smaller version. As far as I know, this is the only prototype there is.

    He later said that, for some reason, a 3% size reduction could not be made to work.

    3% smaller bed would not fit a 4-foot wide sheet of wood.

    It looks shinier than expected. I figured the stainless steel would be more dull based on previous pics. Can't wait to get mine.

    I don’t get it. Why would Tesla put its prototype into a museum even for a short time? Shouldn’t they be testing it?
    They don’t need the advertising and it’s over a year from launch.

    This is how they promote instead of paying for advertising. Lots of free publicity just by placing it in a museum for a week.

    That’s actually a pretty smart thing to do. Too bad it’s so far away.

    It is smart. I think they should continue not to pay for advertising on the traditional way. This cars just continue to sell themselves.

    I really should go see it, that museum isn't that far from me and I've never been

    Alright, alright, thanks for the pics and all, but I want to know your impessions! Thoughts on ride height? Ingress/egress? Anything and everything would be much appreciated.

    I drove a Porsche 944 for years, only because I could move the seat all the way back and stretch out my legs. The car had more leg room than any car I have ever driven.

    I love the Cybertruck, it is a manly truck. I like it. However, at the risk of sounding like a one-trick pony, I will hold my final impressions until I can sit in in, and stretch out my long-ass legs.

    P.S. I will own one!

    A very wise, if somewhat unsatisfying answer. LOL!

    Even without the CT this museum is a must see. The exterior of the building is spectacular. And yes allocate enough time to visit The Vault. It’s a bargain for the extra $20 charge. See you all there Thursday.

    What is in "The Vault"?
    On a Cybertruck thread that term takes on another meaning!
