Russ B

Really good review on the Cybertruck. The tonneau cover and drink freezing up is plain stupid. Say you did have a garage, what if you came home with it all covered in snow and then parked it inside for it to thaw then had to go out for a few hours it would still freeze up. Here in Calgary it can be warm during the day and then freezes up when the sun goes down. Huge miss for a $140,00 truck
