Article confuses the issue, saying "will be included" (not "can"). I hope it is included.

Indeed, having a vehicle power up (however slowly) just by sitting there is fantastic - especially for a 'dystopian' design (nominally bulletproof, etc) - ensuring there is always a way to get enough energy to get to a more robust power source. Even at 1 mile/day, in a pinch one can just wait a bit and drive to a mundane 110V outlet to then charge enough to reach a proper charger.

I wonder how it will hold up under use. Dirt, Snow, grinding into the panels every time the cover is rolled up. Does anyone know if you can open the tailgate without opening the cover. How do you open the tailgate from the outside with no outside latch?
