CyberTruck Image Leaked

[raptor5244]

Did we ever learn if this truck has a frunk of some sort? I think a lot of future EV truck owners are now anticipating this extra enclosed storage space.

One of the questions I've always had with the CT was where the chargeport was going to be.
Since this hatch is only on the driver's side, I'm assuming I have my answer

This was the chargeport at the Manathan presentation:

What can be inside the trunk? This looks like sand bags?

If that sand bag is a Tesla branded one, it’ll show up on the store and will be sold out in minutes
I’m hoping they’re still in process of having the back side able to fold down all the way, pass thru with the interior

I think my only issue will be accumulated snow and ice removal. When I remove the snow off my windshield, I usually use an extending brush and pull the snow towards me, working from both sides. With the wiper in this location, I wouldn't be able to do that on the drivers side unless the wiper hinged off the windshield. I think if the brush extended long enough, I could pull all the snow down the windshield and hood from the front, but scraping ice will be more difficult since it required more leverage on the brush.

Seems like it would have to hinge off in order to replace the blades, no? Same as any other?

The real problem I think would be finding the right size wiper blade. That has to be the longest one I've ever seen.

Well.... it pretty much has all of the changes those of us who were critical pointed out.
Can't have a front 'bumper' like that
Need mirrors
Need wipers
Tires need to be under the flares
Need 3 lights due to width
etc etc
Elon: No no no, we are NOT making changes!

Perhaps it's a subtle message that they've been sandbagging and release is coming much sooner than we anticipate

I have some concerns about this windshield/wiper design and winter climates but not sure how valid they are

 

[907XCP]

True, though it would look even better if it were straight and not have that kink where it attaches to

The wiper housing is too big to push all the way to the edge of the window, I think that is why it had to be angled to give it a little more room.

 

[Xenoilphobe]

Who are those people? Employees, Focus group,...?

Focus Group.... BLAHHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA. That's funny...

 

[HellsKitchen]

This is not the same wiper. It's a newer one with a slimmer profile and the housing is now angled to push the wiper all the way to the edge of the window making it less obtrusive. I kinda like it much better than the first iteration.

Agreed. And it also has the same metallic color as the truck body, so it's more inconspicuous.

 

[HellsKitchen]

Shouldn't it be hidden underneath the hood when it's at a resting position?

I guess so much for a heated wiper.

And to add to this, as someone who does a lot of DIY stuff... gets dirt and mulch dumped in the back, wood, hunts, etc....

1. I still see no drain holes in the back, specially by the cab. There appears to be a compartment, but you need places for water to drain out.
Definitely don't want water sitting in the corners by the cab.
2. I don't know how the doors or gate open, but when I'm dirty or wearing gloves... handles are ideal
3. That retracting cover still fits into a slot, it would be better if it were overlapping and have a 'gutter' at the bottom.
Water and snow will run off of it and into the bed on your stuff.
If the cover were flat, no problem, but being slanted, that's an everyday use issue.
4. I hope there are more tie-downs

How can we combine the F150 design and CT capability/range?
Rivian is decent but I see the spare tire is under the bed. Looks great in a showroom, not so great if you have to empty the bed
of the truck along a highway to access the spare tire.

ugh

I just remembered that Le Mans cars, if they have a windshield, almost always put the wiper vertical in the center of the window when not in use.

I wouldn't get too excited about this wiper as Elon has said it isn't the production wiper. Remember that Tesla patented an electromagnetic wiper that goes from side to side.

electromagnetic wiper that goes from side to side

That sounds like a dance move.

This is not the same wiper that he said wasn't the production wiper.

 

[bill-dub-ya]

The wiper, in addition to the greater than normal length, appears to be wider than normal. I'm wondering if this wiper has a section that pivots differently from the main blade.
