A potential Tesla Cybertruck release candidate has been spotted on the side of the road in California after experiencing engine problems. A motorist took advantage of the situation and managed to capture some spy shots of the Cybertruck, including images of its suspension.

Photos of the abandoned Cybertruck have been shared online, showing the vehicle covered and left at the roadside near Los Altos Hills in California. According to reports, a Tesla engineer attempted to fix the problem but ultimately had to leave the truck and cover it up. This gave an opportunity for a curious bystander to take some secret photos of the stranded vehicle.

The images reveal that the Cybertruck is covered with a reflective sheet and features a camouflage pattern, suggesting that it could be a release candidate or a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. Additionally, shots of the bottom of the truck show a series of holes that may be intended for a truck reversing speaker.

In another report, a variety of Cybertruck suspension shots are shared, along with information from a former suspension engineer. The expert describes the Cybertruck's suspension as having a rear lower A-arm made of two welded steel pieces, which differs from the casting at the front. There also appears to be an actuator for dynamically adjusting the damping. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck suspension are mostly positive, emphasizing its simplicity and robustness, although it is noted that it could still be a prototype system.
