I don’t think having Alcantara on the dash is a great move for the Cybertruck. It’s a TRUCK and it’s going to get dirty/dusty and Alcantara will be a pain to clean. I think it should be plastic that can easily be wiped down with a rag. What do you think?

I believe the Ford F-150 Lightning is a compliance car. I do not believe Ford really wants to sell them over their gas/diesel trucks. I don’t think there is much profit in them. They knew they had to do something because of Tesla, so this is how they “look” like they care.
