Vault and roll up cover in cold climates

[TyPope]

Don't forget that the vault is climate controlled or at least you CAN control the climate in there. It seems that if it were heated, it wouldn't get cold enough to freeze. Now, you cold weather people don't preach about the cold to me.... 4 years in Montana, 4 years at Minot AFB, North Dakota, 4 years in Nebraska, 4 years in Utah... I've seen cold. I also had a roll-top tonneau cover on my F350.

cold climate package will need to be an option for sure. Here in CA i never think about that stuff
But I think directing close proximity jets of heated a/c air to the vault rails could allow it to open with little time and energy usage, but where will the snow and ice go? Up on the top?

Honestly, I had a Pace Edwards rollup cover on my Dodge for 7 years in Denver, I can't remember it ever being an issue. BUT... the truck was garaged, and mostly used as one of those despised commuter trucks.

The problem for those of us living in the winter wonderland is that also the tailgate freezes (to the tonneau cover) also.

How did you get to know this, even before they've started making Cybertrucks ? (I probably live much further north than you ….)

I'm sure he's talking about current trucks and roll covers.
