True, but how are you going to wear a ten-gallon hat? That's really important in the pickup capital of the universe.
If you like speculations, I believe that NHTSA rollover/ roof-crush structural safety standards have something to do with CYBERTRUCK's 'truss' roof. The second speculation has to do with providing and aerodynamic trip-strip, right where it would count.
In addition, in the near-impossibility of a rollover event, that 8-inches might make the difference with respect to a spinel cord injury and permanent paralysis, learned from Ford Explorer and Expedition crashes. You may 'survive,' but perhaps paralyzed for life.
CYBERTRUCK is the 'lowest' pickup offered so far. I agree in spirit with 'excess' headroom. I vomited when Volkswagen brought out the 'New Beetle' and 'New New Beetle.' Asinine headroom.
