The best foil for DW.

Won't repeat my past trauma with my Jeep that she keeps on using and at some point thought it's actually hers.

@Reisender -- better buy your own. You won't have access to your wifey's,

@Reisender -- are you the one being alluded to here? How much are you getting for this? Do they pay per words?:B

Me, I already admitted having vested interests being Tesla stockholder and having an order for a Cybertruck.;)

Dang, the haters' panty knots are tighter today.:R

Will the Cyberteuck be able to haul a truck camper? I’m not talking power or range, I’m talking physical dimensions. Could I put MY truck camper on it?

Door handles..........meh.

Don’t think so. I personally don’t think those pictures of it pulling a fifth wheel seem feasible. Although generally most people don’t pull fifth wheels with half tons anyway.

It would have to be a pretty funky shaped camper to put it on there. :).

My wife is starting to gravitate towards an air stream Bambi to pull behind her Cybertruck. I kinda like the little 192 RBS Freedom express. She’s going to win anyway. :).

But they do not post every day regarding an option or feature on the truck.

But we have more time in our hand Covid and all!.

You want to tell us what to do with it?

Lol, where's the fun in that? So, what you're saying is that some people are enthusiastic about trucks that you can actually go out and buy and others like trucks that only exist as concepts and prototypes? All kidding aside, I'm looking forward to the day when a practical and affordable electric pickup truck is available to the public. Back to the Cybertruck, I can't figure out the appeal of the way that thing looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but IMO that thing is UGLY! Especially compared to the beautiful sedans Tesla makes.

If they were really focused on all EV news, there are many more EV trucks with exciting news that they do not report. I was surprised to see that I finally got through to one of them that the GMC Hummer was real, and real versions in testing on roads.

Maybe we need to create a survey to see if Tow Vehicle owners prefer door handles? I wonder if there is a difference between those that believe you need a diesel. Maybe our engineers can explain the weight savings without door handles, or how they meet the FMVSS.

:)We will probably have all summer to dream about this lack of handles.

I wonder how much reduction of coefficient of drag it made - so it’s now 60 mph in 2.85 seconds? lol
