I don't feel you can attribute too much from these kind of photos. Same thing happened with the Model 3 when they were testing stuff just before production. The wheels and tires in those test videos and photos were NOT what were sold with production vehicles. Same with a bunch of other stuff. I wouldn't assume those are set in stone for production release of the Cybertruck.

That frunk doesn’t look as disappointing as everyone says it is… still has potential.

Better than the Taycan and has a massive bed ??

Do they really tape the windshield and moon roof glass during final assembly? I had a damaged windshield and moon roof window on my Model Y and when they gave the car back to me there was tape on the window and they said to leave it there for a day (adhesive I assume). I did not think that windows are attached the same way in the factory. That seems very slow to me.

I'm definitely more optimistic about at least one golf bag fitting in there. Cory Steuben (From the DirtyTesla interview) might have been right with it fitting 2 golf bags depending on the concavity of the hood.

Now it for be great if we can just confirm a pop button on the front so it open on its own with tension springs. Save the weight and cost of a power close actuator.

The wheels on the cybertruck look very similar to the ones on the digital camo one driving around.

Nice, seems functional. People on this forum will be disappointed they can’t sleep in it though.

yes, well, these are RC1s not being built on the production line

Yours is the sort of confusion/frustration created by other folks not observing the meaning of words like “production vehicle”

Mmmmmmmm sexy. That frunk had more space than I thought from other pics. That's good enough for me! Can't wait!!!!

In the frunk?

 

[Cyberman]

I didn't reserve my Cybertruck because of the frunk. It's just a bonus.

Fairly certain the comment was a heap of sarcasm.

Really? I was under the impression that these RCs are being built on the production line only not production builds. What is required for a manufacturer to switch from partially-hand-built RC vehicles (RC1s I think was your terminology) to production-built? There are always parts of production that involve humans. Is it a soft or hard distinction?

I am not frustrated. I was simply asking a question hoping that someone would clarify. You have not.

I am fine with you educating me on the meaning of "production vehicle". The question I asked was only about the glass installation. In a production build is the glass installed by a machine and does it use tape until the adhesive cures, or not?

I guess I took your point to be that you were surprised too see tape in a production process because it seems “slow”

I did not think that windows are attached the same way in the factory. That seems very slow to me.

Which surprise seems to assume this is a production process

was only pointing out that assumption seems unwarranted

I do not think these are production vehicles. I know better. We all do. I was just asking about how windshields are installed in production vehicles and whether tape is needed. It would be slow if it had to be applied by people wouldn't it? Would tape be applied by a machine? I am still asking questions here.
