Elon is apparently considering a couple options on the Cybertruck that would make it more suitable for hauling 4x8 sheets.
One is a flipstop on the tailgate, another was suggested to him on twitter recently and he seems to like the idea: make the rear window roll down into a gate that can fold forward over the rear seat. This would extend the bed into the cab. Not only would this allow 4x8 sheets with the tailgate closed, but it would allow you to close the cover on the bed and sleep inside with the climate control system running, that would make it nice for camping when the weather is unpleasant.
