Tester Cybertruck Prototype Spotted on a Tow Truck!

Dont remember a panel gap near the front wheel arch. Could that be the split where the frunk opens up, like a mega frunk!

That's what I am saying!!

Definitely looks like the wheels are fitted with "Force Transducer" sensors, like this:

Good catch, I think you are right about the transducers on the wheels.
Any clue about the new headlights visible under the frunk? I’ve not seen those yet, this is an entirely new set of lights - and we’re told changes are done - in the past lights were discrete and these are not.

Those lights have been there since the second wave of prototypes.

98-102 is what I am reading on the line.

At a 19' bed, I'd bet its 20' though.. That truck appears to be nearly bed size, just say it's a 20' and the truck is occupying 19 of those feet. That's 228" long!

Width, appears to be again, size of bed incl. mirrors. Lets again show small, 98". Reduce to 90"

My Tacoma, incl mirrors is 84. it's a long bed(about 6') measuring 226 inches. Fits BARELY in my garage, door down. This will be super close.

I'd like to revising though, the efficiency of space in an EV. We have a model 3, feels like a Camry inside, quite roomy, while being a Corolla sized vehicle.

I think this will sit like my Tacoma, but feel like a full size inside. I'm quite tall, I am slightly taller than Elon, was nice seeing him get in it back at Rodeo. Sure he took off his hat, but he glided right into it.

Idk. More excited. I hope you guys are too! Really looking forward to seeing the media release on this thing.

The Raptor is 86.6" wide without mirrors. The CT, like the Raptor and TRX, has the legally required 5 orange width lights to make everyone aware it's extra wide. I suspect it will be very similar to that raptor width.

They aren't visible in this picture, but are in videos of the alphas.

Hopefully the glass is much stronger than the R1T.

OMG LIDAR

Need to use another pre calibrated device to confirm the new cameras are measuring correctly. smells like we are getting closer. ?????

The pair of white boxes on the Cybertruck frunk might not be part of Cybertruck or a Tesla test item at all.

The pair of white boxes on the Cybertruck frunk might be part of temporary light/warning flasher lights provided by the towing company. When the tow vehicle is being loaded or unloaded the standard lights on the rear of the tow truck may no longer be visible ( or at wrong height) to warn traffic approaching the tow truck and towed vehicle from the rear.

Especially image how the loading/unloading appears in darkness when in middle of traffic lane or even close traffic lane on side of road if the backwards towed vehicle did NOT have extra red/yellow flashing lights on it to warn approaching traffic.

Those pair of white boxes could be temporary lights with magnetic base to attach and padded to prevent scratching the paint of standard vehicles ( padding needed if NOT 30x cold rolled stainless steel Cybertruck baby!!!)

Light ’em Up: Do You Know the Basic Requirements for Tow Truck Lights?
https://towmart.com/light-em-up-do-you-know-the-basic-requirements-for-tow-truck-lights/

.....
Lights Required Specifically for Tow Trucks
Tow trucks have additional regulations that govern what lights have to be on the vehicle. This means that in addition to the basic lights and the lights required by size, tow trucks should have a couple extras.
.....
If the lights on the rear of your tow truck are not readily visible, you have to make some changes. The rear lights of the truck have to be visible to all traffic that is following you. If the car you’re towing is blocking those lights, you’re required to place the basic lights at the rear of the towed car. This means that you’ll have to place the taillights, brake lights, and rear turn signals of the tow truck at the rear of the car being towed. If those lights are not visible and someone rear-ends the tow truck, the tow truck operator could be responsible for the accident.
