Edison Future...love the bed cover

Hmmm, Where have I seen this before? .......

Always with the spare tire. We all get canned air and will like it.

Doesn't help when you lose a bead or blow a sidewall. See 6:59 of this Rivian video for a classic sidewall blowout....and the subsequent spare tire change.





Crap happens and it doesn't have to be extreme conditions.
Spares are necessary.

As an owner of 5 pickups over some 30 years I have had so many different types of covers from camper shells, tonneau covers, and currently a fiberglass "lid", I have not found any of them completely usable. The closest type was a hard folding type that that "folded" back to the truck cab that allowed a cover but some ability to put tall items in the bed. Seems like the CT model shows that concept so I am alright with that. Everyone has their own ideas so it is impossible to have a factory cover that will satisfy everyone.

Isn't love irrational some time?

I agree. They all have their problems. With today's covers, I do prefer the tri-folds, but I use a roll up right now. With the tri-fold folded up, I can't get my 4 wheeler in the bed with the tailgate closed. With the roll-up it fits in there tight. It doesn't look as nice and it's less secure, but it gives me the little extra room I need to not haul a trailer every trip out.

It’s been mentioned, but having the little plugs so you can easily plug in your own solar would be a very nice inclusion and would only add a small amount to the cost of the car. Of course Tesla hasn’t done this on any existing cars but one can hope.

I have a large folding Renogy 100 watt solar panel I use with my camper trailer, but it only puts out 12 volts which won't do anything for the main CT battery pack.
