Yeah, I've been following that. They're better than anything here but I
doubt most, if any, are large enough for 4x8 sheets.
The Rivian R1T will have a pass through for long items but 4x8 sheets

When I first heard about the Tesla pickup (and before seeing what it was ) I

4x100mm is a _very_ common size. Supposedly, there are 850 different car

Nokian make an LRR WR G4 (later generation) tire in 185-65-14. Would that
