Hope it's just a hard shadow and they're not going into production with the black trim right below the lightbar like on this beta ... looks really bad.

What on earth is going on at the ends of the bumper? Looks like paint peeling off.

 

[FLAWLESS_G]

So the real questions are how many tires have been ordered from goodyear, who makes the wheels and what are the dimensions

We still don’t know if there’s a spare tire that comes with it, the size and the location.

I like the idea of having both.

question is, how much is a spare set of aeros!?

just buy em off all the aero haters cheap

that’s mud

that’s mud

On a vehicle with otherwise clean bumpers and almost clean tyres? I mean I guess it’s possible, just odd.

Also why not give it a proper cleaning if it’s on public display at an investor event? (Or alternatively: have it properly dirty, like having done some real work)

See also: the wheel wells. Gftx is still very much a construction site

I think the darker wheels look awesome. Then again, I am STILL laying claim to having created the black wheel trend back in the '80s (there was nothing to be bought). (and yes @rodmacpherson , I did it with spray paint!).

This is that first RC (Release Candidate) Cybertruck built at Giga Texas.

The new wheelset we've definitely not seen before, the flares seem to have a different finish, and the timing with investor call (and who'd be in town for it) all square with a first look at the full RC.

Here's the similarly styled wheelset we've seen a long time:

Note the differences:

That thing is beastly.

It's official. 6' bed and UNDER 19' length. I had a strong feeling that Tesla would make the Cybertruck garageable.

For reference, an R1T is 18.09', a Ford Raptor is 19.30' long.

What’s going on with the two large voids between the yellow/green and blue/purple casting’s, that’s a lot of empty space.

Note the differences:

I like the gunmetal wheels better than the black, but spraypaint exists so not a big deal

Those tires look rather aggressive or highway driving

MS rating

we’ve seen a version with less aggressive more street looking tire, though still obviously designed for CT
