One of many launch candidate Tesla Cybertrucks was noticed in Austin, Texas yesterday. This time although, it was not loaded on an open trailer, reasonably, an enclosed one, like a container.
This Cybertruck unit was leaving a well-liked automotive location in Austin, Texas often called Petrol Lounge (maybe this was the primary automobile with out petrol there). Petrol Lounge is definitely a climate-controlled automobile storage warehouse.
Essentially the most fascinating info revealed out of this Cybertruck sighting in Austin is its new wheel design and tire dimension.
For the previous few years, Cybertuck prototypes have been all the time noticed with the identical authentic 12-spoke wheel design that Tesla hid below its patented wheel covers.
The identical wheels are put in on all of the alpha prototypes which are largely seen throughout testing round Tesla’s International Engineering HQ in Palo Alto, California. Even the Cybertruck wrapped in a Ford F-150 pores and skin had the identical wheels.
Within the newest sighting of the Cybertruck in Austin, the one which Tesla tried to cover in an enclosed trailer, has the brand new wheels put in. They do seem like the essential wheel design that’s most likely going to return ‘included’ from the manufacturing unit. Tesla may supply the unique prototype wheel design as a premium possibility however it will likely be clear as soon as the Cybertruck configurator goes dwell.
