Teslarati just ran an article on the Polestar 4 mirror:

It would be nice to have something similar for the Cybertruck.
As a reservation holder that hasn’t been invited to order an FS Cybertruck I have been thinking about what ordering will be like after FS is done.
Mostly this thinking started when Tesla stopped FS invitations. Anyway, I see no reason why Tesla would continue the invitations in a post-FS world...
I just went over to Tesla Colma and their Cybertruck was only partly roped off. After clandestinely touching it, opening the door, and releasing the tailgater I asked if I could get inside and they said “yes”. They did not know for how long this will be allowed so I took full advantage off the...
I watched one of the review videos and it showed the rearview view and it wasn't clear at all. I can easily imagine the rearview camera getting smudged a lot (my Model Y rearview camera gets quite dirty on road trips for example), but with the Cybertruck this is the only rear view when the...
I was watching Tesla Daily and Rob seemed to believe, or at least suggest, that Cybertrucks have so far only gone to employees. Is that other people's take? It would explain a lot. Might we consider adding a column into the orders table to indicate whether someone is an employee or is that too...
Ever since we heard that people were seeing their accounts change to allow configuration/ordering without getting an invitation, I have been going to my Tesla account online every hour or so, selecting my Cybertruck reservation's 'manage' button and then selecting the 'manage' button inside that...
On Thursday I, and others, saw the new specs and pricing come up for the Cybertruck on the Tesla order page. Nothing was said there, or since, about our existing reservation numbers. In a panic I put in another order, wanting to make certain that I would still have a choice and some kind of...
On my way home today I saw a Cybertruck on Highway 92 coming down from Skyline or perhaps from Half Moon Bay. I was SO excited! Unfortunately, 92 in this location is a windy mountain road and 1 lane in each direction so there was no way to get a picture or video. I know that Cybertruck sightings...

This was posted by Joe Tegtmeyer on Patreon (and maybe X?) yesterday. I see some visual differences in this Cybertruck instance but the truck is far away and they may be a visual illusion. Potentially good news if there is any truth to the rumor...
Seen on Electrek this morning:
https://electrek.co/2023/09/16/tesla-offers-factory-tours-as-new-referral-award/
I would like to think that buying a Cybertruck and picking it up at the factory would entitle us to a tour without jumping through extra hoops - especially after going through this...
All of the driving we have been shown in videos, such as driving around town, at GigaAustin, on the Fremont test track, in Iceland, and in New Zealand it is driving pretty slowly but it has been advertised with some pretty awesome specs. Has anyone seen it (since the unveiling) showing any of...
My internal list of Cybertruck milestones went like this:
- visual evidence of CT giga castings
- visual evidence of exoskeletons/BIWs
- visual evidence of early manufacturing line vehicles (RCs)
- visual evidence of several CTs in the parking lot
- visual evidence of NHTSA safety, crash and...
Every once in a while I return to wondering just how strong 3 mm hardened stainless might be. This morning I went outside and measured the thickness of a piece of flat steel that I have lying around and it is 1/8" (or 3 mm). This sucker, which is much softer than hardened stainless, is a beast...
I am SO ready to see a Cybertruck BIW come off the new production line. Everything else is just dulling my senses. Please let it happen, please, please...
Just saw this on Brad Sloan's video for today. It "looks like" one of those humongous trailers for super heavy items like IDRA components, but the component was already off loaded. Anyone know?
Just saw a post on IDRA’s LinkedIn site showing Gigapress components in boxes ready to ship and the caption says they are coming in our direction. This news is consistent with earlier posts I made about IDRA building a new 9KT gigapress for Tesla...
According to the following post (2 days ago, but was itself a follow up from another more than a week ago), IDRA is in the final assembly stages of a new Neo 9000 for Tesla (Tesla colors)...
Someone posted this from IDRAs LinkedIn page today. It was posted about a day ago, and shows a new 9KT Gigapress being assembled. It seems to have Tesla colors. Maybe a second gigapress for Giga Austin
