I doubt they change tires on one truck, most likely they have several running around at this point.

I’m hoping they’re all terrain tires aren’t too tough on range because I’d prefer AT tires. Strong chance I’ll end up with these though because range > off road performance.

I'll stick with AT tires too. I'd like to do some off road excursions to access remote areas, but I won't be looking for the toughest line, like rock crawlers tend to do, I'll be taking the easiest route to get away from it all.

I have wondered if there's such a thing as "rental tires" in areas like Moab, in case I'd like to put the ol' CYBERTRUCK thru its paces. Some big, fat, bead locked set of wheels that I could use for a week or so, then return to the tire shop to get my old boring tires back to head back out on the highway.

Nobody rents tires

Nobody rents tires

Not yet... But the proliferation of EVs may present a future business opportunity. Lots of people (including me in the '90s) drive long distances in 4WD vehicles to off-road playgrounds on the tires they plan driving off road on. The range hit that EVs would suffer with those tires may create a demand.

Heck, I rented canyoning shoes when I visited Zion.

It's the same licence plate.

Nice eye!

It is possible it is a temporary plate they pop on and off different trucks similar to what dealers do with shop vehicles.

EDIT: Or… see below. Plate numbers irrelevant.

Can't help but notice you ignored sawyer Merritt lol

All test mules from a given manufacturer use the same plate number.

I was today years old when I learned this.

I’m sorry…but with each of these sneak peak I’m getting less impressed with this truck. It’s looking weaker and weaker with each “road show” photo op. Each pic of it in the wild shows it low to the ground and frankly imo whimpy. Sorry to offend any enthusiast, but with each cameo I’m losing interest. However, I remain hopeful it’s going to rise up and be that beast truck with grappling tires that has a bad a$$ presence everywhere. C’mon Elon deliver that crushing blow to all legacy trucks and any competition challenging Tesla.

Weaker?

You... Think it looks weaker because this is a pre-production beta that won't have everything working getting road tested?

Is this trolling?

The advantage of the adjustable suspension is that you only have the disadvantages of a raised suspension when you need it. The rest of the time it’s low to the ground where it handles better and gets better range.

Maybe you can put some 42” tires on yours or go full on monster truck if you are willing to sacrifice handling for “presence”.
