Like an earlier poster said - this truck is UGLY!
In fact, it's so ugly every one here should cancel their order in protest!








[Hoping all of you buy this so I'll move up in the line...]
Practice what you preach. Then see how many will follow. The more you convince the better off the rest of us will be.

Unless it got snuck in somewhere on here, I haven’t seen it here yet. Thanks for sharing!

Seems that small panel on the rear door is still there, the angle the truck video was taken from just made it unnoticeable.

BAW lovers can rejoice.

I still wonder how, or if, it’s going to be made somewhat smaller looking for production.

Looking closer, is that a new black bar under the light bar (which is unlit) that stretches across the front of the truck? Edit: It’s just a lip which looks dark from shadowing.

Still no visible top of front windshield light bar. While I hope it makes it, I’m feeling it got the axe.

Looks like the BAW is here to stay; this is the most updated version I've seen, triangular/removable mirrors, no door handles, and the BAW. Looks damn epic to me.
Just announced: The Cybertruck will be made to be smaller looking. Just back away about 5 feet.
But the light bar is confirmed, it made it through final review. As per EM.

I definitely think the sale pillar storage is more interesting. Being able to get at stuff without getting into the vault would be super nice.
Even if I do have to climb into the vault, it would be handy to be able to use.

There's some pockets in the back of my Mazda 3 I use that way for first aid kits, toilet paper, tools, etc.

Being able to hide some shovels or whatnot would be awesome.

This made me go look to see how the winch was hooked up. The only person I know with a non-prototype one though is Ginger Billy. So I had to go check his rig.



Unfortunately his TESLER SIBER TRUCK didn't have a winch. I guess we will just have to wait and see once someone else gets one and tries adding a winch.

And of course, since we are going down memory lane, here is Ginger Billy's original take on the Cybertruck:

What vehicle ever has a convenient way to hook up a winch. It’s always an aftermarket thing.

Some consumer/business pickup trucks can be ordered from the factory with a winch.

Some vehicles come standard or can be special ordered from the factory with prep package for convenient way to hook up a winch or snow plow.

Tesla Cybertruck Cybertruck FULL FRONT VIEW! (2/9/23) Ford-Performance-Parts-winch-by-Warn_03


Order Ford Super Duty (F-250/350/450) pickup truck with factory installed Winch
The Ford Tremor Winch is now available on all Super Duty trucks. You can add them to 2020 and newer models. This 12,000 lbs winch used to only be available with the Tremor off-road package.
This factory option and or dealer-installed accessory is available for any Super Duty truck 2020 and newer.

.....
What is the Ford Tremor package? The winch is included with the Ford Tremor off-roading package for Super Duty trucks. Ford Super Duty trucks equipped with the Tremor package gain more off-roading power while maintaining an excellent towing and payload capacity. Tremor off-roading upgrades include 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac maximum traction tires that are mounted on a set of 18-inch matte-finished black wheels.

You also get a two-inch lift and a shorter air dam for 10.8-inches of ground clearance. According to SP Ford, the Tremor package allows Super Duty models to ford water up to 33-inches.

Suspension upgrades include progressive-rate springs, a rear stabilizer bar tuned at a lower spring rate to absorb impacts, and custom 1.7-inch piston twin-tube dampers.

The package included the same extended-axle vent tubes and beefy skid plates that are found on the FX4 models. You also get a rear locking differential and the four-wheel-drive transfer case that the Ford Raptor has.

Is the Ford Tremor package worth it? Adding the Ford Tremor package costs about $4,000 to add to the F-150, F-250, and F-350 models. So, for an extra $1,000, you get everything else that the package has to offer instead of only the winch.

Ford F-Series (F-150, Super Duty F-250, F-350, or F-450) Snow Plow Prep Package
https://www.balisefordcapecod.com/snow-plow-prep-package/

.....
The factory Snow Plow Prep Package offered by Ford contains everything the truck will need to accept and properly run a plow:
stronger springs
heavy-duty alternator
electrical connections
wiring
controls
software

Computer-selected springs in this package are engineered to take on the rigors of carrying the plow blade, which can weigh more than 1,000 pounds. A heavy-duty alternator is needed to meet the keep the truck’s electrical system charged during extended periods of raising and lowering the plow blade, ensuring that there’s power to run the accessories, such as that much-needed heater. If you plan to plow with your Ford truck, this factory snow plow prep package is essential to guarantee proper plow operation as well as to preserve the warranty coverage

.....
(Note that there is only one approved plow manufacturer for use with the F-150, including EcoBoost models, and that is Sno-Way International.)

2021 Ram 1500 Gets Snow Plow Prep Package, Plow Not Included Just buy this package and say: "That Name Again Is Mr. Plow."

.....
It comes with a 220-amp alternator to keep up with the electrical demands of snow-plow hydraulics, a special wiring harness, and a defroster-equipped rear power sliding window (hey, gotta keep the glass clear on those icy plow runs). The Ram's active front air dam is ditched because, well, it has to be in order to accommodate plow mounts, which aren't included. Ditto the actual snow plow itself and its controller, which are sold separately.

The light bar will house the headlights and Tesla has never said otherwise. Those green-highlighted lights are running lights, like every damned car ever made.
Tesla never said anything either way. Have you ever seen a headlight with a frosted cover?

Also no it is a very common design trend these days to have the drl's above the headlights: F-150 Lightning, Silverado EV, BMW i7, Nio ET5 etc...

Yeah, but WHICH "light bar"? There are at least 3 light bars - rear tailgate, front of the hood and top of the windshield. AFAIK the only ones were (sorta maybe?) sure of are the one on the tailgate (recently confirmed by EM) and the one in front of the hood. The W/S bar is still unknown and not definitively confirmed. EM has been mostly vague when he responds.

Oh, and waterproof sail storage please! Perfect place for my deer rifles! :)

Have you watched any of the Tesla videos? The headlights, often shown in use, are always in the light bar below the hood. Anyway, there is no point in arguing it as neither of us (I.e., none of us) know for sure. Personally I am hoping for them to be in the light bar as the other idea is, to me, grotesque.

Interesting photo. One thing that looks very clear to me is the cut lines on the side of the front. Looks like they adapted the F150's style frunk, and the front of the vehicle will open with the hood. that's a very good thing, the Ford approach is the best by far.
I agree
