“Better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car” – that’s what you’ll find on the dedicated Cybertruck page on Tesla’s website. We’ll have to wait and see about that once production will actually commence towards the end of 2021, and wait some more as the tri-motor version won’t hit the assembly line until late 2022. In the meantime, the EV automaker just about everyone is talking about today has released some videos of its electric pickup featuring an “Ultra-Hard 30X Cold-Rolled stainless-steel structural skin.”

In the extremely short video above, we can see the nifty electrically operated roll-down cover for the 6.5-foot pickup bed doing its thing. According to Tesla, the “magic tonneau cover is strong enough to stand on.” In one of the official images released by the company, the Cybertruck becomes a camper by pulling back the cover and then fitting a tent over the bed, all the way up to the tip of the roof.

We want your opinion!
