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

author: FutureCar Staff    

A Tesla Cybertruck release candidate was recently spotted by 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, revealing that the likely release candidate had experienced 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 sneaky shots of the forlorn 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 even a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. Additionally, shots of the bottom of the Cybertruck reveal a grouping of holes that could potentially be for a truck reversing speaker.

In another report, a variety of Tesla Cybertruck suspension shots are shared, along with additional information from a former suspension engineer. According to the expert, the Cybertruck's suspension consists of a rear lower A-arm made of two welded steel pieces, which differs from the casting at the front. Furthermore, there appears to be an actuator for dynamically modifying the damping. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck suspension are generally positive, describing it as simple yet robust, although it is noted that it could still be a prototype system.
