INVESTOR DAY CYBERTRUCK BETA PRESENT! [w/ Walkaround Videos]

[FutureBoy]

Hopefully this will put the silly rumor about the vault cover sliding into the cabin to rest.

You can clearly see the rear window is blocked while the vault cover is closing. It’s been this way since launch day.

Your hope is unfounded. Much like the hope of those looking to get their midgate any way they can.

In the video from the tweet, there is clearly no light coming through from the cabin to the bed. But we don't really see why there is no light. Just that it is very dark up at the front of the bed. Now if the tonneau were configured like the launch night prototype, one would expect that just before the tonneau was fully closed, the top end of the tonneau would raise up past the internal window and light would start to be seen in the truck bed. But that doesn't happen either. And in fact, at the beginning of the video, if the tonneau were fully stowed, there should be a window visible between the bed and the cabin. But that is not the case either.

All I see here is the tonneau operating very smoothly. And a mysterious dark area at the front of the bed for some reason. The darkness could potentially be partially explained by the tonneau but not fully.

Apolgies, gotta click through to see the video

Dang that closing sound is satisfying, solid! ... like a (bank) vault.

Awesome.
What's up with the Dutch angle at the end?
Was this shot by Joel Schumacher?

Love it! I’m on the list for a while, can’t wait! It’s missing two things I really want, I hope they include it. Solar vault, so it charges it self! That would be awesome, 10-15 miles a day is fine by me! 2. The truck bed should open to the interior of the truck. Another huge addition making it a camper of sorts. Please Elon ??? lol

Here's hoping for power frunk that opens like a lightening!! ?

BAW looks awesome! Too bad about the tiny triangle mirrors.

Ima install a gun rack on the back window of the truck and take that BAW off in the dry season and display it on the back window to show the world who has the Alpha wiper! Because we all know what the A stands for.

 

[anionic1]

looove the no-window-frames look on those open doors

Agreed!

That frunk is going to be huge. I was Thinking due to the short front nose that it might be short, but seeing these images and where the driver sits makes me think it will be big.

Still don't like the triangle mirrors, but I am so stoked at how much better the rest of the truck looks, especially the vault and tailgate. To me the triangle mirrors look slightly more tolerable in their matte black finish in these particular views.

More importantly to me, is their redesign of the back tonneau cover surround inside the sails where it no longer ends in a point at the rear interfacing with the tail gate. Also, from what I can discern from these images, the rear attachment points seem to have been moved forward a little as part of that redesign.

To me, overall significant improvements and the mirrors are changeable anyway regardless. Can't please everybody 100 percent.

I totally agree on the mirror. The truck is so cyber looking and they put these cute Barbie car looking side mirrors.

Looks like you might still be able to pop out the ramp

I bet they just haven't solved it yet. That driving the ATV into the bed was such a big selling point.

Steel, aluminum or urethane bumpers?

 

[anionic1]

MAYBE.. It's a production line built truck built in Texas, and they'll show that off shortly. Not a hand made in CA unit.

What is your source saying that its a production line truck?

What is your source saying that its a production line truck?

The fact that it says “Production Beta” on the sign in front of it is a good hint.

Though not 100%. Nobody seems to agree what “Beta“ even means, toss in “Production” and I’m sure it’s even more contentious.

I think when you say “Production Beta” you would be talking about a beta from your… production line. Likely not 100% complete.

That truck bed needs a lot of work. I don't know about you all, but I use my truck bed like a bulldozer bucket. I throw lumber over the back, i throw bags of concrete in there or CMU blocks, I take it and fill it with mulch, i just had 400 wood fence pickets in there. It need to have few seems and few plastic parts that can break or get caught on stuff. I am looking at the first foot of getting stuff in the bed and thinking this was designed by engineers and art students trying to make clean lines and the people who actually use this bed for what truck beds were designed to do are going to really not like this bed. Most truck beds have a metal upper edge for durability, this has a plastic one. most beds have eased edges to make things slide in and out better. This is not a truck users bed. There is a soft rubber door seal right at the edge. How long do you think that is going to last. The IT guys going to take their motorized mountain bikes out once a month are going to love it, but this truck bed will not be preferred by people using the bed for work involving moving building or agricultural materials.
