The Cybertruck is actually rather low for a truck. The edge of the hood would hit a typical person in the gut, not the neck or face as with many other trucks (especially lifted trucks).

I don't know this for sure as I've never sat in one, but from the images I've seen the visibility through the Cybertruck looks awful. That is, the slant of the windshield makes it look like the driver sits rather low, and thus would have huge blind spots in front of them. Perhaps not a huge issue at slow speeds because there is a front camera, but I hate that feeling of having poor visibility as a driver.


I saw one side by side with a Rivian R1T at a red light and it absolutely dwarfed the R1T. Doesn’t look low to me.


Low? I saw one in the mall last week and it’s bigger than a tundra. It also had considerable ground clearance.


I read that the height can differ 14" with the air suspension.


Looking at the picture of the CT in your link, unless you're Andre the Giant reincarnated, that thing will hit you smack in the face.


I'm 5'10. There's a lot of lifted trucks in my area. I am yet to see one where the edge of the hood would hit me in the face. Apropos of anything else, that's an actual ladder, not even a step ladder to get to things like wiper fluid, let alone engine work.


I give this 48 hours before we see lifted mods emerge


Ah well, then.
