I don’t know, I really like the stainless steel look. It’s part of its “charm”

I absolutely love it in matte black. I can't unsee how unfinished the stainless steel finish looks to me now. That will be one of my next vehicles for sure

Another sighting in California yesterday. The person that posted this on the Tesla forums said the panel gaps seemed much better than others he has seen (I'm assuming online)

The problem with stainless steel finish...it gets varnished easily, and have you tried to every tried to clean stainless steel finishes? We had stainless steel appliances including fridge, and they were a pain in the you know what to clean. Plus to me it just looks half finished. It looked way better in matte black IMO

don't know how long ago you had stainless steel appliances but they have coatings on them that make things much easier.
i'm sure CT won't have those coatings, lol.

They came with the Townhouse I bought in 2006 and were brand new (installed by the builders). They were Whirlpool appliances...stove, microwave and fridge. A pain to clean. When when we moved and bought a new house in December 2015, I bought a brand new Samsung SS fridge, and same thing, it would be really hard to keep clean. We have a cockatiel, and he would sit on top of the fridge and sometimes his poop would get on the door, and it would just smear when we tried to clean it. We would have use stainless steel cleaner, which I'm sure is toxic. I have since moved that fridge into the garage and bought a new one....Black . BTW, here's the culprit who constantly stained the surfaces:




If I had a Cyber Truck, I would keep this little guy as far away from it as I could!

18.6' long is 223"
my 2018 g90 was 205" (s580 is 208) so that CT is 18" or 1 1/2 feet longer!
good luck fitting it in most garages

and that g90 was 75" wide (loads of room! s580 is 77") vs CT at almost 80".

having said that, f150 supercrew is also 80" wide and almost 232" long. wow.

Only 13" longer than my Ranger. It's the reason I bought it over an F150. My garage is standard depth in this area (240"). It could fit a CT with plenty to spare!

That F150 SC your referenced is with a 5.5' bed.

That wiper though just looks so out of place and ginormous. I guess they couldn't figure out a more elegant solution to wipe the massive windscreen.

I think CT is going to sell like crazy. I can't wait to see it.
