First RC (Release Candidate) Cybertruck from Giga TX is Out Front of GFTX for Investor Call [7/19/23]

[cvalue13]

This is that first RC (Release Candidate) Cybertruck built at Giga Texas.

The new wheelset we've definitely not seen before, the flares seem to have a different finish, and the timing with investor call (and who'd be in town for it) all square with a first look at the full RC.

Here's the similarly styled wheelset we've seen a long time:

Highly subjective first mod - tossing the wheel covers lol.

I'll be interested in seeing this new wheelset more square-on

The design glimpsed here seems *far* more appropriate for the tire/truck.

ah, here we go!

you can’t really make out the design details, but can tell it’s def not the earlier version, and much before “blocks” near the hub

Beautiful

I like them better than the plastic "dog dishes", aka hub caps.

Hot take: I still like the aeros better

I like the idea of having both.

question is, how much is a spare set of aeros!?

So the real questions are how many tires have been ordered from goodyear, who makes the wheels and what are the dimensions

Hope it's just a hard shadow and they're not going into production with the black trim right below the lightbar like on this beta ... looks really bad.

For everyone submitting photos, please take them from the side and front/back that are level and perpendicular (from the side, front and back). If possible, include the original photo with all EXIF metadata so we can try and use measuring apps to verify dimensions. If this won't work, please use a measuring app while taking the photo to get true dimensions. The CT was standing still so even from a distance, measurements could be taken. Thanks.

For the love of God, horizonal videos!

Btw, greggertrucks salary is the total sum of the Tesla marketing department budget.

I like the gunmetal wheels better than the black, but spraypaint exists so not a big deal

 

[rodmacpherson]

I see the back window is open. will we get to see photos of the backseat today?

Most likely you will be able to take the aeros on/off at will, and these will be underneath. That's how the Model 3 was. I love the stock wheels under the aeros, so I have the aeros ~unused mint condition in a bag hanging in the garage.
