📸 Cybertruck spotted with windshield wipers, side mirrors, wheel aero covers removed, staggered wheels/tires!

[uff_da]

That turning radius sure looked sweet. In that profile comparison, it looks like the tip of the triangle maybe a little further to the front? In the website photo, the peak is closer to the back of the door. The super res image from back forty appears to be closer to the middle of the door?

The proto CT had a bevelled front end (grill). Perhaps the illusion of a smaller front end is actually a curved front end to remove the bevelled panels.
It would be great if the grill, headlights and hood were the same assembly so the entry to the frunk is not too high.

The truck looks basically the same, but maybe a bit better to my eyes. Triangle point a bit more forward, looks even more lambo-like. The tires looks staggered to me, could be an allusion, but it looks cool. Also like it without the stupid hubcaps.

First off, why is it that every time someone gets a good shot of the CT, it looks like they took it with an early-2000's Nokia??

Secondly, I don't see windshield wipers in any of the photos.

Third, it might be the angle of the photos, but to me it looks like the hood or "Frunk" cover is much shorter in these pictures versus the prototype model we have seen everywhere (see attached photo below for reference. Idk, maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's the angle, maybe it's Maybeline, maybe it's the crappy photo quality.

...or 'maybe' it's a strategically placed company agent/employee that took a picture that is bad enough as to provide a vague or deliberate bad resolution, but good enough to get tongues wagging....who knows?!

Looks like the slope of the windshield is much steeper. It is more vertically lifted than it was before. I kind of like this change because of it is so hard to see through windshield when it is more horizontal. Even Musk mentioned about it on on Jay leno's show. (2:33) Perhaps they fixed this issue

The front of the truck definitely looks "frunked up". So pissed.
And exactly what Elon said, "would NOT happen". Show something nice at the reveal and then come out with something lame in production.

Even with the low resolution video it was exciting to see progress being made on the Cybertruck. You can clearly see it has side mirrors and RWS but I am questioning the windshield wipers that others see. Beta phase is coming soon!

Maybe they trimmed the frunk to make room for the wipers...?

It does look like the front got shorter and I really don’t like it. I hope it’s just a visual thing. I saw the truck in person and I have always felt like proportionally they didn’t have much to play with on the CT so I hope it’s just poor image quality

There are no door handles!!!

I say be grateful for what we have. Likely this was a plain person and used what they had with the range that they were given while zooming in the best they could with the optics of the phone. What I am saying is this was not likely recorded and provided by some sort of professional video person with 50k dollars worth of gear on hand and at the exact right moment. A lot of bashing going on here.

What this sighting tells us:

The Cybertruck won't start production anytime soon.

It is still early in the testing process.

PS The turning radius does look pretty reasonable for a "truck". That will be pretty cool.

we already knew it can't be produced soon for the simple fact that the gigapress hasn't arrived.

MAYBE it is not too late for Tesla to do something similar to the Lightning? I don't know anyone that doesn't like the way the Ford Lightning frunk opens.

The Tesla nose is about the height of the Lightning frunk floor. I don't think it'll matter. Your Cybertruck will be able to kneel and let you reach in.

Other Teslas started delivery 6-9 months after betas were sighted.

Yep. Well, they were on the street, tho, not just being tested. This is more the 9-months point.

I am slightly concerned with supply chain backup and gigapress delivery.

Not too worried about height, but I do prefer trunks where the door opens flush with the floor. It makes loading and unloading heavy things easier. It would be nice. I‘m not overly worried about it though, after all we have a giant vault in the back for heavy objects.
