Smaller windshield wiper spotted in latest Tesla Cybertruck video? Also without door handles.

Saw this short video via reddit post today. Normally don't put much stock into 'new' videos but the windshield wiper does look different.

I've suspected this 'stubby' has an _ELON_GATION_ feature built-in to make the full sweep!!!

Noticed it did not have all wheel steering! Also did not see door handles.

Older prototype? We've seen that stubby windscreen wiper before.

Isn't that the video of the unfinished one from the Moss Landing appearance last year?

You have better memory than I do, but yes it's an older video when the second set of prototypes were making the rounds.

It really does look like CGI

Yes, it's old... the reason it looks like CGI is because of the steer by wire making the wheels snap almost to seem fake. I could really care less about what the wiper looks like... really, after seeing this truck in all its "BEAUTY" the wiper is merely a bug splatter. Bring it on!!!

I can see it now when playing video games in the CT

Peoples, don't wear out your expensive tyres.

There really is something interesting going on with the steering. It looks as if it is a very high steering ratio in order to make the front tires rotate that quickly. This is also seen in other videos. Anyone have any thoughts as to why that might be or is it a non-event?

It will be dialed in for delivery... just getting the adaptive steering fine tuned.

Likely drive/steer by wire where the ratio is increased at low speeds allowing for much easier turning, especially when using a yoke. Though we don't see it in any current CT videos footage, It would be practical to believe it would also reduce the ratio at higher speeds so that oversteering is reduced as well.
