Cybertruck appears in video without the door handles

Last weekend, photos of the current version of the Tesla Cybertruck prototype appeared on the Web, and now they are complemented by a short video that was made available to the participants of the forum (future) owners of this model. The car has been spotted in the production halls of a new company in Texas, which has not yet started series assembly of the Model Y crossovers, but is adjacent to the company's new headquarters.

The authors of the video unwittingly compare the design of a pickup truck with a refrigerator and demonstrate the car from various angles. The massive side mirrors are bent and the lack of door handles could migrate to the serial version of the pickup. Either way, even existing Tesla electric vehicle models are able to automatically open the doors when the owner approaches, so this shouldn't be a problem for a futuristic pickup truck. . It was seen on a running prototype during testing at a factory track near a facility in California. In the production version, Tesla will probably try to offer some more elegant solution, but this option will fit in the testing phase. Remember that this week Elon Musk should make a report on the company's immediate plans, for sure he will not be able to ignore the suffered Cybertruck pickup, because in the North American market its potential competitors are announced almost every quarter.

According to eyewitnesses, the tailgate of the truck is also equipped with a servo drive, in which there is a telescopic ladder for entering the bodywork of compact motor vehicles. The cargo compartment cover in the video was missing or bent. Remember that the serial version can accommodate solar panels offered as an option.
