I checked, Cybertruck has NOT launched.
I went to the store, and touched the truck a few times, leaning over to get close since it was still behind the barriers (but lit up oddly with green LEDs). However, eventually I was told off by the Tesla person. He said touching it would leave a lot of fingerprints (I was dumbfounded by this statement). I told him I was annoyed because last week they said they would tell us everything after November 30th. Anyway he seemed annoyed by “corporate” as well. He of course did not know the battery capacity.
But no one is allowed to sit in the truck or do anything. That is not a launch!!! Cybertruck has NOT launched. I really wanted to sit in the car to figure out what was going on with the rear view mirror.
I did determine:
1) no obvious cleaning nozzle on rear camera (there is on the front bumper camera apparently). Not sure how this will work with camera system.
2) Bumpers seem to be hard plastic. Troublingly, the plastic pieces in front of the wheels are also hard plastic, rather than flexible. Try to negotiate a rock higher than about 10-12 inches and they’re probably going to get ripped off.
3) I felt some edges of stainless steel. Not too sharp, but certainly don’t want to fall on them or move across them rapidly.
4) I prodded the stainless steel a couple times. It seems stiff.
Of course, real world use requires safety from stray arrows and bullets - as long as they are not shot thru the glass....
Also the glass was cracked during the shooting due to two buckshot in the same spot (went through). I guess they kept the windows down to see if they would crack. They posted a full video. Anyway not a big deal either way. The steel is definitely tough but it obviously can be dented.
