Unpainted steel reflects light and heat, you could more easily cook on a dark painted ranger.
You are correct!

As per the Tesla owner’s findings, the Cybertruck with its steel panels registered a temperature of 106.1 F (41.17 C). In comparison, the white-painted Tesla registered a temperature of 107.3 F (41.83 C), and the midnight silver metallic Tesla registered a temperature of 140.0 F (60 C). Unsurprisingly enough, the hottest vehicle in the simple test was the black-painted Tesla, which registered a temperature of 144.6 F (62.56 C).

Cyber truck heat!

though depending on the angle of the sun, you might get a hot spot on the ground where you could cook your food.

kinda like how some low-e glass can scorch your yard, as it has done in my yard in a couple spots. I'm letting trees grow to block my mountain view because of the sun beating on that side of my house.

Lots of hate for the Cybertruck, but if they made one in a midsize, I'd be on it like Lizzo on a buffet.

Finally saw my first cybertruck out in the wild, the dude was polishing it in front of one of the cheapest hotels in Sedona. I have to say I don’t care for the look.:thumbsdown:

Plenty of them around Williamsburg, even one with a green wrap. My friend calls them kitchen sinks. Hey, they’re saving more gas for us!!!!

I will admit - I am not sure about owning one - but would love to drive one around for a bit, just the uniqueness of it draws my attention.
