Tester Cybertruck Prototype Spotted on a Tow Truck!

[Ogre]

I’m still trying to figure out what the discoloration on the sides is. Looks a lot like my car after bombing down forest roads or off-roading.

Is that dust? Is this taken after an off-roading test?

It almost looks to me like a "static cling" problem!

Absolutely! That's dried muddy water! Look at the mirror, you can see where the fender flares only keep 1/3rd of the mirror from getting mud slung on them. The front of the truck looks pretty clean, it just looks like they drove it through muddy water.
I wonder if that CT has been up in Alaska at the proving grounds, because it's filthy, (just the way it should be)!

It is strange to me, look at the tires and windshield, they are clean. Otherwise looks like road salt to me.

Looks a lot like my car looks after many miles on dirt roads. Generally road dust is kicked up from the tires and sticks to the sides and rear of the vehicle more than the front.

Ha! Knew that looked familiar! Yes, could be testing the SS reaction to the road salt?

CONFIRMED: Cybertruck breaks landspeed record on Bonneville Salt Flats.

Burning man is coming up.... what a great appearance that would be!

That windshield is huuuuge from this angle
Super and mirrors present

FSD training / calibration?!

Is the passenger door dented? looks like a big gap between the door and fender panel.

Also looks to me like the rear fender and area behind it is damaged. I agree though on the windshield just being a reflection

I believe the passenger door is just dirty, the rear "damage" appearance is probably more tape holding on a sensor combined with low qual imagery.

For what it's worth, I'd LOVE to see these crashed.

That's a very VERY good thing if they were off crashing these. I'm kind of nervous we've seen zero crashed units.

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.

Answered my own question on "where are the 5 orange lights" You can see them here on the track video from December 2021

Looks like the rear windows will open fully.

There they are! Tried to find a pic but couldn't. Knew I had seen them though. I like the addition of the width lights and the bottom daytime runners from the prototype to now. Looks way better.
