A whole bunch of pre-production units - I thought this was interesting. He said this at the Engineering HQ talk:

On reflection,Finally!!! I hope somebody brings a tape measure. Seriously.
My only pain point is the triangular shaped exterior mirrors.
Cool. How was the visibility with the triangular mirrors? I can't tell from pictures. It's possible the placement of the triangular mirrors, while smaller, offer a better look to the rear. But, I can't tell without sitting in the driver's seat. I won't remove them either way because I'll be traveling through states that require mirrors and besides, in our Model Y, the cameras are often obscured by either rain or ice or just dirt and backing into the garage necessitates mirrors.On mine, if it comes with the triangular mirrors they will be immediately removed. The previous style of mirrors were far superior not only in appearance, but also for rear visibility.

The triangular design inherently gives smaller to nearly no coverage at the outer points being only a tip, whereas normal mirrors having more vertical space at those outer edges will give much better rear views and blind spot visibility especially when following vehicles are closer behind, or when towing.Cool.

It's great to see someone who has experienced both mirror styles on the Cybertruck offer up their opinion.
Since the mirrors are removable third part replacements should become available. Some people will want large mirrors and don't care about highway efficiency.My only pain point is the triangular shaped exterior mirrors.
Yeah luckily the fact that they are removable means they can be easily swapped out, hopefully the aftermarket will save the day (same goes for the bumpers).Since the mirrors are removable third part replacements should become available.
