Tri-Motor Variants of Release Candidates Built? - [9/4/23]

[cvalue13]

This thread from today shows 4 cybertrucks departing from GFTX - but an observation about this photo seemed to justify a new thread (mods feel free to collapse of course)

note anything new with two of these CTs?

The front and rear units are the first release candidates we’ve seen with white trim/dash:

all other of the RC units seen to date have had black/grey trim throughout, and I’m *pretty* confident all of those RCs are dual motor variants.

For the last week+ there’s been a slow-down in the GFTX lot and transport sitings, indicating some shift on the validation line.

Today, after that dry spell, this transport is now seen with two units having white trim interiors.

I’m *pretty* confident the dry spell was some stutter in the validation line’s transition to the first tri-motor builds, with at least two of the tri-motor builds getting out today - surely heading to Fremont etc for validation of various sorts.

FYI, the last times we’ve seen builds with white interior were beta prototype seen at investor day, cyber roundup, lithium refinery, etc

Maybe they started as grey but turned white from the heat

it’s funny, I drove through the lot this afternoon hoping to catch a glimpse, and must’ve missed this transport by not too long

@cvalue13 It's a possibility. I didn't notice the difference, thanks for pointing it out.

White interior is usually an option on all Teslas no? I'm not sure it's indicative of trim level.

Good spot tho

What makes you think the white interior trim makes it a trimotor? What's the correlation?

White will glare onto the windscreen.

OTOH, darker colors absorb heat.

Can I get “striped”?

Would love the white interior, my current Y is black inside.

Would you settle for a plaid pattern?

From the later test vehicles we see dark colors which appears to be more in line with a truck interior environment. It would seem white interior for a work horse would not be in demand. Hope we know by the end of September.

I know Tesla wants to keeep production costs down, but I’d love a tri-motor with the driver display. Obviously we don’t notice any here and haven’t seen any since that Alpha about a year ago. I know it’s a pipe dream, but a brotha can dream, can’t he?!

They’ve cut the price so much on the Model S, I’m debating on purchasing that instead. However, I really want pickup.

I've gotta say, the S Plaid at the new price is looking REAL tempting right now.

You tell zero lies. My wife and I are going to test drive a model s when I return from a work trip.

My guess is you can choose different interior color for each trim.
