Could be. I've been watching CT news for years now and have never seen this design. I would assume a prototype with a big departure from the production design would have disappeared by now. Maybe this one is on it's way to the Petersen vault.

Jeff Roberts' drone footage spied a CT in Austin with no mirrors. The bigger news to me is the bodyline down the side. Anyone else see this?

It really wouldn’t make sense for Tesla to sell a truck that undercuts the competition by $30k, when demand is overwhelming. But I still wanted them to do just that. Surprised? No. Disappointed? Yes.

I won’t be ready on 1/1. But later in the year there’s a spot in my driveway reserved for the AWD.

First couple? Haha no. I would say more like first couple quarters of production. At best. I had a Model Y that was around #50,000 off the line. It had some pretty bad panel gaps, some rattles, and mismatched brake lights (one old style and one new). Judging by other owners on the webs, my...

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but I do think this is wishful thinking. The normal way is to do a "soft roll-out" to employees, and then a few months later start delivering to actual customers. So if deliveries start next month I would expect customers to start seeing them early next year,

Tesla has a track record of releasing vehicles that aren't anywhere near fully optimized. So I would be more worried about the opposite.

I think the lens of the camera is stretching it out a bit. The Model 3 below it looks longer than the Model Y.

Looks like the whole tailgate needs to shift upwards. Would not effect the part you circled below but tighten up the part you circled above. I expect at least the first 5,000 or so of these out the door to have some pretty bad gap issues. Curved panels can hide a lot of flaws. Big flat slabs...

Just above the rear window in the vault it looks like there is a cover for an anchor point on each side. What is that about?

I don't really see what the difference is. In this video both the light bar and the headlights are fairly bright, from an aesthetic standpoint. And in my Model Y whenever I'm driving the DRL and headlights are on. It's only the fog lights that get turned off sometimes.

I think they are really struggling with the hinge/fit/motor on the frunk lid. Seems like every other pic or video shows people fiddling with it.

Looks like it's fully lowered here. Also, both kids go in on a knee and climb up to the seat.

For the uninitiated, Tesla requires you to give your car a name. So the CT will probably just be called "The Truck". Our Model Y has been called "The Y" for a few years now. We're pretty creative people, obviously. If I put a black wrap on it then I would call it "The Black Death". That's...

TFL is hit and miss. A few months ago Roman basically announced that he is giving up on EVs. Or that the grid isn't ready. Or something like that. Since then he went fully negative toward anything EV related. Not just Tesla. Goldberg, from the CarCast podcast, basically did the same thing...
