Tesla Cybertruck Spotted in the Wild With a New Front-end Design and a Giant Wiper

The latest Tesla Cybertruck beta prototype features a new front end and a large windshield wiper. The front-end design of the prototype indicates that the model has been updated from its previous prototype.

Tesla has begun testing the Cybertruck prototypes and more of the EV will be seen in the coming weeks. The testing process should be completed before the Cybertruck will go into production.

The latest sighting of the Cybertruck beta prototype comes after last week’s sighting of the model in Palo Alto. The view from the model was the rear end and side designs. The new sighting adds the view of the Cybertruck from the front. It is believed to be the same beta prototype of the Cybertruck spotted in Palo Alto. It also has triangular side mirrors which were absent in previous prototypes.

The images of the Cybertruck beta prototype also somehow indicate that it has a shorter ground clearance than previous prototypes. The images are however not definitive enough and pictures could be distorted. The light bars in the Tesla EV prototype are similar to the original prototype unveiled in 2019. There are no exact comparisons however between the two prototypes. The new Cybertruck beta has a different grill design underneath the lower light bar.

The huge windshield wiper of the Cybertruck beta has drawn criticisms for Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk. The large wiper is sitting in view of the side when not in use unlike what is seen in conventional vehicles. Musk has previously stated that the huge wiper design will be omitted in the production version of the Cybertruck. This remains to be seen as the beta version is in the penultimate stage before production.

Tesla hopes to deliver the Cybertruck to its customers this summer. However, it remains to be seen how the EV giant will achieve the milestone before 2024.
