Rivian did a a lot better job with its proprietary tailgate pad that has a semitransparent mesh. This fashion, the full-width crimson mild strip isn’t obscured and may be seen by automobiles driving behind.
However what about storage within the mattress? The alleged specs that have been lately leaked didn’t embody the mattress’s dimensions, however we all know from one among Elon Musk’s earlier statements that the Cybertruck ought to have a mattress size of over six ft.
By comparability, the Rivian R1T’s mattress is 4.5 ft lengthy. Nonetheless, after seeing the Cybertruck and the R1T carrying bikes aspect by aspect, it appears to be like like they’re fairly comparable in measurement.
