The opening/closing of the tonneau cover is very slick. They say you can stand on it when it's closed.

Undertoad · 11-24-2019, 02:38 PM

now 187k. (for comparison, F150 sells like 900k per year)

Undertoad · 11-25-2019, 12:37 AM

Leave it open, like all other bed covers

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 01:10 AM

That doesn't work, First of all none I've seen open 90 degrees, but even if they did you'd have a huge sail area pushing against your refrigerator you don't want pushed against, while eating up your battery. This is why I said it's not designed to be used the way working pickups are used, where most of the stuff going in and out of the bed don't go through the tailgate but over the side. Especially tools and small frequently used items. I'm sure he'll sell a lot of them to be used for recreation, profiling, camping, and commuting, but they are not practical for working. Tough mounting tool boxes on the slope.

?? A refrigerator is going in through the tailgate and you just leave the bed open like normal

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 01:55 AM

The bed is covered normally isn't it? That's why I questioned what you do with that cover when you have something big to carry. Usually they hinge but that may lift off. If so, you have to plan ahead.

OK I found it.

Quote:

The powered bed cover is strong enough to walk on and fully retracts into the space between the bed and the cabin when it’s opened.

It must not be one piece but sectional to fit it there since it would obviously store vertically.
I haven't seen the size of the bed, length or width?

Undertoad · 11-25-2019, 02:03 AM

Watch the video of the bed cover retracting, it slides down behind the back seats

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 02:07 AM

Like a roll top desk in channels. That gets it out of the way, I wonder if there's glass between the cabin and bed when it's open.

Undertoad · 11-25-2019, 02:10 AM

Armor glass.

Also, the rear view mirror is a high-definition camera.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 02:25 AM

OK, it's sealed of then, that's good.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 10:34 AM

The question I keep hearing is they claim the 2 motor truck in the middle has a 300 mile range and can tow 10,000 lbs. How many miles towing that weight with the A/C on?

I got this from Texas this morning.

Clever but unfair in that this thing has a lot of good ideas built in. It will sell well to the Attention-Whores, First-on-the-Blockers, Couldn't-have-a-Bricklin Kids, and whomever can plug in at work for free or a tax write off. But the guy who carries ladders and lumber, not so much.

I predict the next back to the future movie will feature this truck

xoxoxoBruce · 11-25-2019, 12:34 PM

I wonder if the flux capacitor and Mr Fusion will work with the bed cover closed?

Undertoad · 11-25-2019, 12:35 PM

People say, if you remove the visual of the rear triangle, it's more visible how it's a pickup truck. I've done that in MS Paint so you will have to squint hard to see it

Gravdigr · 11-25-2019, 02:51 PM

It's a turd.

In more ways than one.
