? [Update: NOT Production Wiper] New Cybertruck design spied! Shortened front, no door handles, side mirrors, curved windshield glass! [Dec. 10]

[intimidator]

Interesting that the running lights are NOT the lower light bar. Also, the mono-blade wiper is going to elicit a response from this crowd, don't doubt it!

That is one huge wiper blade. Always exposed. Hmmm. Not too bad, goes with the SteamPunk look.

If the CyberQuad still fits, it's the same size bed ad the original prototype... unless they scale that too, but I'm still guessing it's the same size as before 6.5 ft.

Didn't you see the Cyberquad a week or so ago? It is much smaller now. Only carries people up to 150 lbs.

Yeah all these people begging for pass through bed and shorter bed why even buy a truck? Just buy your desired SUVs or RVs. By chipping away at the bed length you are making it less and less usable as a truck which is the whole point of it. This means people who want to use it as a truck as designed.. getting less and less of main functionality. And how is Tesla gonna win over the whole truck market when your truck is a glorified Honda Ridgeline? There is a reason Ridgelines have the least market share in the truck segment. SHORT BED.

Exactly

As time moves on down the road, the Cybertruck is moving farther from it’s original design. The latest post shows a front end with two separate head lamps. What happened to the single wide beam across the front? I’m hoping the side mirrors are moved indoors as digital monitor screens so as not to junk up what was clean lines of the original design. And is it just me, or is the truck bed smaller looking? My current hauling limits allows for a 4x8ft sheet of plywood. I will miss that space should the bed be less than at least 6ft long.

Looks to me like they moved the headlamps down to the front bumper and the lightbar across the front will now be a DRL.

I'm concerned that the light bar at the very top above the windshield is gone now.

Those planning to sleep in the bed, enough bedding or air mattress needed to smooth out those ridges.

Anyone else think this rear glass is too dark to be tint? Almost like its... solar cells.

I hope it’s a solar panel !

As others have said, I do *not* like that BAW (big ass wiper) and it us FUGLY.

I like the idea of a 6.5' bed as I was thinking I'd be able to sleep in the vault for short, overnight trips to the coast or mountains for some fishing. I have a 5.5' bed now and that won't work for me, and is, in my opinion, too short to haul my kayak, which I do anyway as it hangs off the back of the lowered tailgate. The shortest length bed I would *want* is 6' but as long as it's *at least* the 5' 7" I currently have, I'm still okay with it. I've considered switching to the Rivian R1T but that 4.5' bed is ultimately the dealbreaker for me.

For those that are, or would be, bothered by the lack of a passthrough for your dog, what do you do now? Are you driving SUVs or do your trucks have a passthrough? I've had a 1999 F-150, a 2006 and 2016 Tacoma, and currently, a 2019 Ram 1500. None of them had/has a passthrough and I would just let my dog into the back seat area.

I couldn't close that video fast enough. Annoying music.

I muted it as soon as I realized it was not just bumper music.

No... I didn't.

The plot thickens. Let's hope they stick to the original specs for the bed. I was always comfortable with the 5.5 ft bed in my F-150, but I don't think I'd go any smaller.

Just wanting to know how the hell are you going to clean the inside window all the way up there. Any idea's?

I would just take it to a detailer once in a while, LOL. I am not going to fight that battle myself.

If I can't lay a 4x8 sheet of ply or drywall flat in that bed with zero overhang over the end of the tailgate, this is now a deal-breaker for me. That is such a common task for me (hauling 8' boards) that it is a major reason I have been holding out for the CT.

If that's gone now, this vehicle just lost so much utility for me that I might actually bow out if this is confirmed - no joke. I'd stick with my PacHy until there's a full-BEV alternative.

Wife’s car for vet visits. I’m horrible. In my defense, I have a husky with lots of fur.

Cats. Just spray them with a bit of window cleaner and then lock them in with dog mode turned on. With that much glass and dash, you can guarantee they will be all over the front window area.

Call me old fashioned on here. Zero interest in FSD. I prefer driving my vehicles instead of riding in them.

I agree to some extent. However, there are some trips I make that FSD would be extremely nice for. Also, I am not getting any younger and I hope this would be my last vehicle and if it is as durable as we hope it to be and FSD might really be useful as the eyes and reactions diminish over the next couple of decades.
