Tester Cybertruck Prototype Spotted on a Tow Truck!

Answered my own question on "where are the 5 orange lights" You can see them here on the track video from December 2021

There they are! Tried to find a pic but couldn't. Knew I had seen them though. I like the addition of the width lights and the bottom daytime runners from the prototype to now. Looks way better.

I know these tires and wheels are likely a temporary/ testing setup, but the dirty truck plus the testing tires gives the Cybertruck a very no-nonsense, industrial look. The wires and junk hanging off don’t help.

I almost like these wheels better than the other for that reason alone. Also worth noting, this looks like different, more off-road friendly tread than the tread we’ve seen previously. Looks like more aggressive side knobs. Also, the tires look like maybe they are running lower pressure?

lol not really...if it isn't 'lite'

Note: stress fracture pattern across the central field of that windshield. That is downward pressure buckle. Explains why no exo-damage is visible but glass cracked.

The Cybertruck has been pancaked HARD. Pancaked in a depression, dip, jump or nasty hole which dirtied both sides of the truck.

Explains why the flatbed, maybe. Glad somebody took one for Team Cybertruck to prove the limit of that massive windshield.

Alt: each crack appears with an impact. Maybe Hans had it for the weekend.

Looks like the reflections of the beech tree to me…

I think there is a reflection of the tree on the glass making it look like cracks

That windshield is huuuuge from this angle
Super and mirrors present

FSD training / calibration?!

Some people say the windshield is cracked, all I see is a reflection of tree branches

Yeah, you can see the reflection of the top of the tree on the windshield, not cracks

...it's the reflection of the tree behind it.

They always transport their prototypes this way.

Thank you!!! I’ve been talking about the reflection of the tree the whole time… it’s the top of the tree

All I see are two white eyes and a smiley face

I’m still trying to figure out what the discoloration on the sides is. Looks a lot like my car after bombing down forest roads or off-roading.

Is that dust? Is this taken after an off-roading test?

Based on all the responses to the “cracks” being reflections of a tree, I feel very confident that’s not dirt on the sides of the CT, it’s a reflection of the bushes.

Grrr... Zooming in the Tesla in the picture looks like plate is 63277, which is used on almost all new Tesla's. I was hoping to get more info to get an idea where this picture may have been taken.
