Exposed suspension system

A Tesla Cybertruck release candidate has been spotted on the roadside in California, where it had apparently broken down. An opportunistic motorist took advantage of the situation and captured some spy shots of the Cybertruck, including images of its suspension.

Photos of the abandoned Tesla Cybertruck have been shared online. The likely release candidate was found covered at the roadside near Los Altos Hills in California. According to a report, a Tesla engineer attempted to fix the problem but had to leave the vehicle on the side of the road. This gave a curious bystander the opportunity to take some sneaky shots of the forlorn truck.

The images show the Tesla Cybertruck covered with a reflective sheet, but it is also evident that the vehicle has a familiar camouflage pattern. This has led to speculation that it could be a release candidate or a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. There are also shots of the bottom of the Cybertruck, revealing a grouping of holes that could be for a truck reversing speaker.

In another report, additional information about the Tesla Cybertruck suspension is shared. A former suspension engineer provides insights, stating that the rear lower A-arm is made of welded steel, different from the casting at the front. There also appears to be an actuator for dynamic damping modification. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck suspension are positive, describing it as simple but robust, although it may still be a prototype system.
