author: FutureCar Staff    

A potential Tesla Cybertruck release candidate was recently found abandoned on the side of the road in California. The electric pick-up truck had apparently broken down, and a curious motorist took the opportunity to snap some spy shots, including images of the vehicle's suspension.

Photos of the stranded Cybertruck have been circulating 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 behind. This allowed a bystander to capture some sneaky shots of the forlorn vehicle.

The images reveal that the Cybertruck is covered with a reflective sheet, but there is also a camouflage pattern on the vehicle, suggesting that it could be a release candidate or a prototype that has undergone terrain testing in other parts of the world. Additionally, close-ups of the truck's underside show a collection of holes that may be intended for a truck reversing speaker.

In a further report, a variety of Cybertruck suspension shots are shared, along with insights from a former suspension engineer. The expert describes the Cybertruck's suspension as having a rear lower A-arm made of welded steel, which is different from the front casting. There also appears to be an actuator for dynamic damping modification. Overall, the comments about the Cybertruck suspension are positive, highlighting its simplicity and robustness, although it is noted that it could still be a prototype system.
