Tesla could also be hoping to place a cease to the Cybertruck leaks which have been coming from inside, however because the long-awaited EV nears manufacturing actuality, there are many different events keen to provide followers their repair of spy-tastic content material.

In a brand new video posted by Joe Tegtmeyer, we get an excellent take a look at a prototype working on public roads, because the truck makes its means from a Supercharger again to the Gigafactory manufacturing facility in Austin, Texas. Crucially although, the drone footage additionally manages to seize the Cybertruck’s spectacular rear-wheel-steering skills. Shortly after getting juiced up, the truck makes a pointy U-Flip, showcasing what seems to be a remarkably small (for a car of its dimension, at the very least) turning radius.

After all, rear-wheel steering isn’t new. It was championed by Honda and Nissan within the 80s and 90s, however has made considerably of a comeback of late, notably as a means of bettering the agility and maneuverability of bigger automobiles and vans.

Within the video, the Tesla Cybertruck prototype’s rear wheels flip in the wrong way to the entrance. What we don’t but have a transparent concept about is whether or not the Cybertruck will be capable to “tank flip,” just like the Rivian R1T was initially touted to (though that characteristic was later dropped from manufacturing fashions). Elon Musk has beforehand confirmed, although, that the Cybertruck will be capable to “drive diagonally like a crab,” just like the GMC Hummer’s Crab Stroll mode.

Tesla’s Cybertruck lastly appears near manufacturing, with the mannequin languishing in a gradual growth hell because it debuted in 2019. Nevertheless, undisguised Cybertrucks seem like popping up at a price, with the newest video coming shortly after at the very least 9 vans have been noticed being transported from Texas to California. Whether or not the car within the video beneath is both an early or late pre-production prototype or perhaps a launch candidate stays to be seen. Nevertheless, it does look doubtless that an eventual launch earlier than 2023 ends may very well be on the playing cards.
