Cybertruck castings spotted?

No clue what those giant tuningforks are in the dumpster:

but the video analysis guy didn’t seem to catch their large size compared to the potentially new castings (see fork at 9 o’clock edge of photo below)

As for these potentially new castings, by no means educated on these apparent frame castings, but they look large compared to the nearby model Y castings (on left is Y):

and if I squint, I can see these being possibly front CT castings (we know they’re not the back)

I am not expert enough in castings to see anything in these jumbled scrap piles except jumbled scrap.

The "forks" are either the downcomers or the risers and built in heatsinks for the casting process.

same really - could mall just be the identical model Y casting and weird angles at which castings are sitting

The tuning fork thingies are strange and (according to vid) not seen before

Yep, they are the leftover bits that get separated after the casting process.

I've watched all of Joe's and Jeff's GigaTexas drone videos looking for and waiting for them to catch something that is Cybertruck production related. I think this is it. Those tuning forks were not around when the MY castings were being tested. This is the first I've seen that style. If, indeed, they are risers or heat sinks, they did the original MY castings differently. Now, this COULD be a new way to cast MY parts but it doesn't seem likely.

I think we are seeing he first of the CT castings. Soon, we should start seeing rear castings as well. THEN, we'll see some assembled lower bits.

Can't wait to see the first body panel rejects in the recycle bin!

Dude in vid was trying act like they were possibly part of control arm assembly

I think the rears are there too.

Here is a model y front casting for reference. It is a bit hard to compare, so keep in mind they might be model y front castings.
