on Twitter, Seeking Alpha, Youtube and the vast majority of traditional media reporting and in analyst reports of the large banks, I see overwhelming praise and support for Musk. It helps to weigh by views/clicks, I like Hacker News but assume that it's quite small in the greater scheme of publication platforms. The CNBC Cybertruck video has 32m+ hits, I invite you to go through the comment section [0] The stock price also tells a story about what most people think. I do concede that the tone has shifted recently, but I still don't feel that the full picture of Musk's deeds are known to most people. In my perception, he has achieved a religious status [0] [VIDEO]

>It looks like the bed is now always covered by a piece of glass It's not glass, it's a roll-up cover. You can see Jay Leno demo it in this video from 2021: [VIDEO] Bed covers protect your stuff from thieves and also decrease drag (increase range). They are a smart idea, especially for electric trucks.

A WSJ article I read suggested, though they admitted it was only rumor, that Musk initially wanted the car to be bullet proof. I suspect in the end, since they're not advertising this "feature", the Cybertruck is likely more-resistant-than-average to bullets, but nothing that could be legally advertised. edit: Not a rumor after all, Musk specifically mentions in this clip: [VIDEO]

Turns out it's not a rumor, when Musk did a drive with Jay Leno in 2021 he specifically mentions the stainless steel at being used to make the doors bullet proof [0]. 0. [VIDEO]
