Closeups!! Dual Motor Cybertruck shows frunk open, alcantara headliner, perforated seats, rectangular steering wheel, VIN # (8/31 pics)

CT is supposed to use Brembo's new braking system, hydraulic with no master cylinder. Let me see if I can find the article or video. Its supposed to be superior and to standard brakes.

So yeah I guess you are also correct they are electric/hydraulic...

Is it the angle of this picture, or are there no side "sticks" for the blinkers, lights, and drive mode selector?

There are no stalks on the steering column - they did this on the Model S/X refresh and now apparently on the just announced Model 3 refresh - so CT appears to be following suit. Turn Signals, Wipers, High Beams etc on wheel near buttons and Gear Selector is automagical with backup controls not on stalk.

where would it fit?

im so confused

how is there space? relating to the photo shared

the photo shared at top is misleading if you’ve not seen the other angles, with the tub/trim installed

They could put a v4 in there!

If something goes up there. I'm never getting it. Too far.

That’s the L5 Lagrange point. Anything that falls into it, stays there.

The interior picture reminds me that I'll need to upgrade my coffee holder to a super-leakproof variety. I can see a lot of opportunity for spillage into the phone charger area. Perhaps the aftermarket will provide some type of cover...

Well, just like an object orbiting a Lagrange point, it stays there until an acceleration force is applied to it. I'll bet you can move it with a deft application of the right foot pedal.

please elaborate, didn't go with Brembo? Didn't license the design either? Please share cause with heavy vehicles of this nature braking is a concern.... for me anyway.

OK, on the bright side one less new thing to worry about. Any idea where the master cylinder is? I assume you have some insight or just what you have seen so far?

I mean, if someone really insists they have to be able to put their golf clubs or carry on bags in there then it will clearly be a problem.

A beefy backpack, laptop bag, small amount of groceries or takeout food other than pizza really shouldn't be any problem whatsoever.

bit of both

also look for recent post of underside/suspension, and you’ll find the hydraulic brake lines

Fascinating video you posted on Brembo using electro-hydraulic actuators on their calipers. However, after seeing the video, it seems that there would not even be a brake fluid reservoir in the front (the only fluid being completely localized at each caliper). The posted photo of the Cybertruck seems to show a reservoir up front.
