At least they tried designing and making something that some people want.

I don't want to meet the people who want that. Topper yes, that no.

Good for you but it really didn’t dd much to the discussion. The OP shared something that may only appeal to a few but it is an option.

All the opposition, when this topper design is the best for efficiency, surprises me. It's not a shape for everyone (including me), but someone needed to make one and I'm glad they did.

This might actually work for what I need. I want to get more info about it, though. Need a topper to put dogs in the back, preferably in their crates for safety. If it gets too hot in the summer, it won't work. No windows may be a deal-breaker.

I’m very interested in a bed shell. Looks aside, I prefer a more traditional rectangular profile to maximize headspace for cargo and rear visibility. I’ve never noticed an appreciable aero impact with camper shells in the past, so I’m not worried about it here.

I give them credit for trying something different, but the Cybertruck has ruined all triangles until the end of time.

Yes, but silver-colored door jamb sales are way up!

I came upon this, and I was wondering when a topper shell would be for sale.

I like it. I’m currently using the Flated topper, which had been fine once I added additional weather stripping, but lockable, aerodynamic, and easier cargo access would be an improvement.

I wonder why aftermarket hasnt figured out a shell that would give the R1T a similar look to the R1S? It would sell like hot cakes. Everything I have seen to date looks like garbage sadly.

I'm not affiliated with this product, but got an email from the manufacturer that it is now available to purchase. Just sharing because I hadn't seen it posted elsewhere on this forum yet.

Ouch. At that price I would 100% go for this (the topper only), which is the same $$

"Currently we are not offering shipping for Wakeshield; this is an option that we will be exploring in the future. For now, pickup and installation will be available only at our Woodland Park, Colorado facility."

This will definitely limit how many they sell.

I am very, very interested in hearing from owners who purchase this. I know the shape is not conventional, and those who like conventional toppers hate it, but I really like it. I have never owned a pickup truck, so I don't have the hangups others have regarding what is proper on a pickup truck.

And they claim it may improve range. That would be awesome, IMO. Real world testing please!!!!
