Cybertruck Makes Appearance @ Cyber Rodeo!

[Chip Geek]

I was going to start a new thread but I think this is as good of a place as any. I'm not sure these are any more information that what was already posted but I'll try to include some that show something different. Sorry about the lighting - I didn't get to the CT area until after dark so they are not as good as if I got them during daylight. Note: The BAW is back...
The large black bag on the floor is ~15 3/4" (405mm) but remember it's closer to the camera. Tesla guy said the tires are 35" as reported earlier in this thread.
Sail storage appears to be missing - UNLESS it is accessible from inside the bed. This CT was behind "ropes" and was "hands off" only.
Those strange posts/pillars were on the front and back. My only GUESS was to add an additional bumper - but even at the time, I thought that was a stupid idea (it blocks the hitch in the back for one thing). Mounts for tow hooks makes more sense.

I missed the mounts on the front. Potential snow plow? Not sure if winch potential inside frunk or added with a crossbeam on these mounts.

The big ass wiper doesn't even bother me anymore! I even love the side view mirrors as is. This thing is perfect! Ohhh boy. I cannot freekin' wait!

The mounts on the front... Is that for mounting a bullbar?

Well, even if they dicked it up a bit with the rear view mirrors, I still love this truck. When I get it home, I won't watch TV any more. I'm just gonna sit in my driveway and admire it.

This is probably the best tire close-up I got.
There was a second CT that rolled up on stage at the end. I was caught off guard but if I had known, I could have gotten video & photos of it as it rolled past where I was standing.

So I'm thinking at the moment there were 3 CT's in total at the rodeo. 1 without wiper, and two with wipers. One with the frame extensions, that was on the stand and without the extensions that they drove up on stage. The one without the frame extensions apparently had 4WS as well. None of them had a curved windscreen like on the tack CT though. Apparently only the stage CT had the driver screen.

The sheer size of this truck is literally blowing my mind right now!

Comparing my existing Honda Ridgeline tires (falken wildpeak 245/65r17) to these CT tires and the CT tires are just insanely bigger than my current truck tires!! And those tires look small on the CT! This truck is just going to be so f'n awesome!

This interior shot is driver-screen free... but I don't think we should draw too many conclusions.

 

[Dusty]

Wow... They shoehorned those calipers in there. Going to have to be careful selecting aftermarket wheels on there.

I'm still thinking Fuel Assaults will be my choice. @Chip Geek ... many many thanks, man. This helped a lot.

So now the question is whether or not to size up to 37s which are wildly HEAVY tires and cause major steering component wear.

That's not the same CT they drove on stage. Just a prop for external views I think.

They had two. I expect the final one to have the screen, and one of the Alphas definitely does.

Was there one there without a wiper?
