Exposed: Tesla Cybertruck's Suspension System Revealed in Candid Spy Shots

author: FutureCar Staff    

A potential Tesla Cybertruck release candidate was discovered on the side of the road in California, where it had apparently broken down. A 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, revealing that the likely release candidate had encountered engine problems and was left covered at the roadside near Los Altos Hills in California. According to a report, a Tesla engineer attempted to fix the issue but ultimately had to cover the vehicle and leave it on the side of the road. This provided an opportunity for a curious bystander to take some discreet photos of the forsaken truck.

The images show that the Tesla Cybertruck is covered with a reflective sheet, but it also displays a familiar camouflage pattern, indicating that it may be a release candidate or even a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. A few shots of the underside of the Cybertruck reveal a cluster of holes that could potentially be for a truck reversing speaker.

In another report, additional information about the Tesla Cybertruck suspension is shared. A former suspension engineer explains that the rear lower A-arm is made of two welded steel pieces, which differs from the casting at the front. Additionally, there appears to be an actuator for dynamic damping modification. The comments regarding the Cybertruck suspension are generally positive, describing it as simple yet robust, although it is noted that it could still be a prototype system.
