A potential Tesla Cybertruck release candidate has been spotted on the side of the road in California, where it appears to have broken down. A passerby took advantage of the situation and managed to capture some spy shots of the Cybertruck, including images of its suspension.

Photos of the abandoned Tesla Cybertruck have been circulating online, showing the likely release candidate covered and left at the roadside near Los Altos Hills in California. According to reports, a Tesla engineer attempted to fix the issue with the Cybertruck but ultimately had to leave it covered and abandoned in the dirt. This presented an opportunity for a curious bystander to snap some covert shots of the stranded truck.

From the images, it is evident that the Tesla Cybertruck is covered with a reflective sheet, but it also features a familiar camouflage pattern. This has led to speculation that it could be a release candidate or possibly a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. A closer look at the bottom of the Cybertruck reveals a series of holes, which may be intended for a truck reversing speaker or a similar feature.

In a subsequent report, additional images of the Tesla Cybertruck's suspension are shared, along with insights from a former suspension engineer. According to the expert, the Cybertruck's suspension includes 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 dynamic damping modification. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck suspension are mostly positive, describing it as simple yet robust, although it is noted that it could still be a prototype system.
