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

[electricAK]

Overall, I like the changes. Sleeker proportions, less blocky, more efficient. Looks more like a truck, which I'm ok with.

- Separated running lights: I dig it! They look like fangs... gives a much more aggressive feel to the truck. Feels like, "Get out of my way, I'm a psychotic space wedge." As opposed to the solid light bar which feels more like, "Hello, I'm Cybertruck and I'm a friendly robot."

- Wiper............I can't even. It is comical, and I can appreciate that. Hoping that's not the final design. I don't think anyone has created wipers that really work in the snow, maybe Tesla can figure it out? This one will need a lot of torque, but it could work.

- Side mirrors: not stoked. Would really prefer cameras instead.

Side note: spending today shoveling snow and cleaning it off my truck. These photos made me realize that the snow is going to slide right off the hood of the CT. That'll be nice. Current vehicle, when you brush snow down the windshield, it gets trapped where windshield meets the hood due to the flat angle of the hood. So annoying.

My thoughts,
Big ass wiper
Side mirror look like they are ready to take off once approval is made
Not every change is an upgrade but overall i'm ok with it and hope it improves.

Because Tesla is trying to get the Cybertruck to market ASAP I think the cyclops windshield wiper is what we will get. Time has run out for the design and engineering teams.

I am confident the windshield wiper will be readdressed in a few years. Tesla has BILLIONS in revenue coming from the Cybertruck once it goes into production.

I don't want to know how much that giant mono wiper will cost to replace.

 

[CyberGus]

My guess is they will be expensive to replace.

It appears like there is 1 huge wiper arm, with two separate blades attached.

Ok, didn't notice. Good catch.

On bed length...

How tall do we think those tires are? 35"? And we can see in this picture that the bed goes under that overhang from the cab. It sure looks like you could easily fit two of those tires lined up in the bed, with room to spare. I do think it's still 6.5 feet.

Rear wheels appear to not turn when the front wheels are turned.

I really, really hope so. Even if it's a pass-under 2' or so of height that's only 6.5'.

Dual Motor version? I’ll bet RWS won’t even be an option on the DM. Buyers will have to step up to the QM if they want RWS. I hope the CT webpage gets updated in the next 30 days with new specs, etc.

Don’t need it revised for production. Would like revised before my reservation number comes around. ?

As a man of culture, curves has always had big appeal to me. But in this singular instance I would have to say... GET RID OF THAT RIDICULOUS CURVED WINDSHIELD. NOW! Give me some sharp angles please, that is what made the truck look cool in the first place.

Tesla is starting down the path of the OEMs. Watering down their cool ass prototype/concept until it looks nothing like what was promised.

Throw the curves at the curb, give us angles that uh.. dangle.
Someone take away Franz' smooth edges tool NAO.

6-lug wheels appear to be confirmed. The alloy wheel design also looks great.

Yep... Looks about right...

Those of you gents with "length-worries" ?‍ The bed was never going to be 8ft. Remember? Pay attention? You got (and will probably still get) to carry a sheet of plywood by dropping tailgate and flipping-up the tail "stop." If you are a serious DIY-guy, weld on a contracting rack like I will... or will that make your manly-truck too "Ain't p'urdy a'nough?"

You've got no idea how pissed I am.
