Could be a rear and showing that a midgate is happening. That’s a very clear opening on both sides ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No way it's a rear, the wheel arches are too close to the edge. On the CT the rear axle is further away from the structural pack and cabin.

Also proportionally the wheel arches are too wide to fit in the bed sails. Those wheel arches are big enough for the turning wheel angle.

Also what's with the floor inbetween?

Disregard. This is 18 months old from first model y runs. I hate this.

What makes you think this is a CT casting?

It's coming out of the 6k IRDA casting machine standing behind it?

The sheer size had me convinced. But, it’s a Y front

What’ll be wild then, is the size of an actual Cybertruck casting if THAT is a Y.

Fooled me too, camera angle I guess.

That said, Joe took these this morning at the north end of Gigafactory Austin. Maybe it is just my poor vision but it seems to me that there are difference sized castings here, both front and rear. Comments?

That's Fronts and rears for Y's, John.

This image I shared above is from last May (2021). Definitely not what we hope for. But cool!

It's actually Texas, but we've established that it's old also.

The image I posted was taken this morning by Joe Tegtmeyer. Yes, w/o question some of these are Model Ys, but there are at least 2 different castings of each front and rear in the photo.
