If it is CT, pretty clear that a "F150" style frunk is off the table 😢.

I think it is cybertruck. I have never heard that semi uses castings. Plus it's wrong for semi. Notice how it is very different than the previous "leak" that was a Photoshop? This looks like reasonable castings for an exoskeleton vehicle.
I rotated the image to make it easier to see.

Just so everyone can now see how ridiculous this photo is....

In the Joey 2000 photo you have, the CT front is on the right, and rear on the left? So wasn't it around the right way for the second photo already? It could still be the same, just that in the second photo the cast has been assembled more and painted black?

Overall it would be interesting if they make two side triangular trusses for the whole vehicle frame, and then attached them together with front and rear motor assemblies, structural battery pack and some roof beams. Rather than front and rear castings. It still needs to be covered with SS so that it gives some extra strength, otherwise there's no point in having 3mm SS body panels, 1mm or less would do too.

Ummm...are you serious? All you need to do is look at the Cybertruck's sleek sideview to know it's not going to have a frunk suitable for a family of pigs.

It's still got about 1600l of space under the dash and hood. Need to use it for somthin'. So adding a 400l frunk like the Lightning would work. We've had this discussion at least 3z4 times now. ;) ;)

Someone have an idea of what this is? It looks like a casting… but none we’ve seen before.

Fooled too many times to leap to any assumptions.

You can see it in motion on video:







PS: It’s not a “Leak” if Tesla smacks you in the face with it.
This is a bottom frame of a Model X before it has the remainder of the body panels or battery pack.

You are right, it is bigger than a Model Y. Look at the rear wheel wells and the forward crush cores.

Is Model X cast formed through? I got the impression that only Model Y was the only one currently (as well as first).

Given the relatively lower volumes of S/X, I figured that it made more sense to give priority of casting to net-new products (Gen 3) as well as anything high volume such as 3 (eventually) and Y.

The rear wheel wells are, you can see in the picture I provided. Is it a gigacasting? No, it's two "smaller" castings plus a welded box.

Not every body piece you see held by a robot is a casting.

The Model X used Giga Castings now?

I’m not convinced either way. Just tons of uncertainty in my book, not convinced it’s the Cybertruck and not convinced it’s not 🙈🙉

Got it!!! Whenever I see ribbing in the wheel wells I seem to assume it's a gigacast.

Makes sense that the part Joey 2000 is flexing on is possibly Model X, especially with the welded box. The rear overhang (on the left inverted photo) lines up with the Model X rear which is much shorter than CT.

I didn't see any identifying info on the columns. I know those that have been to Texas have mentioned the fact that there are grid 'coordinates' on some of the building pillars. That's something I always look for to try and ID what factory images are coming from
