Who wore it better?
I think Geoff looks better.Between the unpainted metal exterior, slab sides, lack of exterior mirrors, and electric propulsion, maybe Tesla was influenced by the Top Gear Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust
The Top Gear creation came with a range extender and wood, um, trim.
Edit:typo
Square mirrors would have been too predictable... Tesla had to keep us on our toes.Posted over on Cybertruck owners club
> Cybertruck Spotted With New Side Mirror Design
I thought that, too, and then I saw this in the video of the CT 4-wheel steering. There is a 3rd brake light but I don't know if it meets the definition of a CHMSL since it's basically in line with the regular brake lights.Mmmmmm. No 3rd brake light as required by federal MV standards. Also, those taillights are tiny. I have a CT reservation and want to see more.
What if the tailgate is down?I thought that, too, and then I saw this in the video of the CT 4-wheel steering. There is a 3rd brake light but I don't know if it meets the definition of a CHMSL since it's basically in line with the regular brake lights.
That still puts it higher up than the Rivian one located at the top rear of the cab.I thought that, too, and then I saw this in the video of the CT 4-wheel steering.

Maybe Tesla never intended it to be driven with the tailgate down.What if the tailgate is down?
The CT you see in this thread is not a concept anymore. Itās a pre production truck so the brake lights being on the tailgate is likely their plan. Which, as others pointed out will not be seen at all if someone is driving with long items in the bed that require the gate to be down.Does anyone really think Tesla will launch a vehicle without a proper third brake light? I mean they go a bit rouge now and then, but not to the tune of something so obviousā¦it would be a really odd battle to pick For them.
It amazes me how people think Tesla must be full of morons just because they do not like Elon. I get not being an Elon fan, but heās far, far from the only person driving Tesla now. Tesla has become a juggernaut and us on the outside only see a fraction of it.
Yes, Iām aware of the status of the truck in this thread. And Iām aware that we do not actually know how close to production it is. And Iām aware that we have no idea if thereās another light that would operate as the third brake light when the gate is down. For example, 911ās have a redundant light that takes over when the rear aero is active.The CT you see in this thread is not a concept anymore.

Each person can make their own conclusions about that. āMoronā is one word that applies IMHO.
