One of many launch candidate Tesla Cybertrucks was noticed in Austin, Texas yesterday. This time although, it was not loaded on an open trailer, somewhat, an enclosed one, like a container.

This Cybertruck unit was leaving a preferred automotive location in Austin, Texas often known as Petrol Lounge (maybe this was the primary car with out petrol there). Petrol Lounge is definitely a climate-controlled car storage warehouse.

Probably the most fascinating info revealed out of this Cybertruck sighting in Austin is its new wheel design and tire measurement.

For the previous few years, Cybertuck prototypes have been all the time noticed with the identical authentic 12-spoke wheel design that Tesla hid underneath its patented wheel covers.

The identical wheels are put in on all of the alpha prototypes which might be largely seen throughout testing round Tesla’s World 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 appear to be the essential wheel design that’s likely going to return ‘included’ from the manufacturing facility. Tesla may supply the unique prototype wheel design as a premium possibility however will probably be clear as soon as the Cybertruck configurator goes stay.
