A potential release candidate for the Tesla Cybertruck was discovered on the side of the road in California, where it had apparently broken down. A quick-thinking 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 since been shared online, revealing that the vehicle had encountered engine problems and was left covered at the roadside near Los Altos Hills in California. According to reports, a Tesla engineer attempted to fix the issue but ultimately had to resort to covering the truck and leaving it in the dirt. This provided an opportunity for a curious bystander to snap some surreptitious shots of the forlorn vehicle.

From the images, it is evident that the Tesla Cybertruck is covered with a reflective sheet, but it also displays a familiar camouflage pattern. This has led to speculation that it may be a release candidate or even a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. Additionally, a closer look at the bottom of the Cybertruck reveals a cluster of holes that could potentially be for a truck reversing speaker.

In a further report, a series of suspension shots for the Cybertruck are shared, along with insights from a former suspension engineer. According to the expert, the Cybertruck's suspension features a rear lower A-arm made of two welded steel pieces, which differs from the casting at the front. The engineer also notes the presence of an actuator that allows for dynamic damping adjustment. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck's suspension are mostly positive, describing it as simple yet robust, although it is acknowledged that it could still be a prototype system.
