With all of these controls (tailgate latch; gear tunnel latch; etc.) on the top surface of the bed rails it looks like those of us who might want a camper shell will be SOL as the shell would sit right on top of all those controls.
I'm guessing you can ask Alexa to open the tailgate. Also, a small cutout on a camper top/shell above the button would probably give you access as well.

I hope these numbers don't turn out to be the final dimensions.

For example:
The second row leg room is not good:
R1S: 36.7"
Model X: 38.4" (and this is really tight for an adult)
Model Y: 40.5"

It may turn out that they aren't representative of final seating comfort... My car has more rear leg room than my SUV on paper, and I have no idea how, but you'd avoid the back seat of the car at all costs, and have no issues sitting in the back seat of the SUV.

Cutouts on the shell would definitely allow access to all the controls on the top rails - but it looks like there are tie downs in the top of the rails too, so there would have to be so many cutouts in the base rails of the shell that the strength of the shell could be compromised.

If you have a camper shell on the truck, I don't think you will be moving the tailgate, so it is only the gear tunnel control you need to worry about.

Just spoke with Christina customer rep and asked here about waterproof key or some other access for us surfers. She said that has been considered but still no word on the final plan yet.

Kind of hard to lift stuff over the tailgate and place items all the way to the front otherwise...

So they actually wanted to use one of our presta/schrader 2-in-1 air chucks, which are patented and work very well. But ultimately they ended up choosing our schrader-only automatic locking air chuck which is also patented and very easy to use/airtight seal with no air loss quick release button. That said, from what I've been told they are including a simple presta valve adapter that you can "snap in" to the mouth of the air chuck included. Very easy to use. They were definitely thinking of bikers in this process.
That’s awesome! Glad to hear bc I’d be using it primarily for bikes but I’ll need to find an adapter to pump up kites (kitesurfing)

I have R1S on preorder. I know it has height adjustable suspension but am hoping it also rear loadlevels automatically for trailer tongue weight. Any body heard?
