The Tesla Cybertruck’s official reveal day is coming quickly, however the long-awaited EV has been filmed and photographed so many occasions that the one issues we don’t know are the particular costs and specs. The sightings are so frequent that it’s not shocking that a number of of them caught the truck in a less-than-flattering scenario. A number of weeks in the past, the Cybertruck struggled to traverse a gentle dust hill {that a} Ford F-150 Lightning later tackled with ease. Now, simply days away from its time to shine, an illegally parked pre-release truck was seen being towed from a road in San Francisco.

Some questioned the tow truck’s capability to tug the heavy Cybertruck, however there didn’t look like a battle concerned with the job. That mentioned, most light-duty tow vehicles can tow greater than 7,000 kilos, and the tri-motor Cybertruck’s curb weight is rumored to be round 6,900 kilos, so there ought to be an issue.
We don’t know what number of pre-production “RC” (launch candidate) vehicles are on the streets, however having such a high-profile automobile towed probably set off various alarm bells inside Tesla. We’re now greater than 4 years from the truck’s preliminary announcement occasion, and the automaker has not but detailed its vary, pricing, or configuration particulars.
As straightforward as it’s to poke enjoyable at Tesla for shedding a Cybertruck, this isn’t the primary time a massively anticipated product has skilled a mishap earlier than its launch. Again in 2010, an Apple worker in Redwood Metropolis, Calif., left a prototype iPhone sitting on a bar stool. The telephone ended up being disassembled on digital camera, baring all of its secrets and techniques months earlier than its official launch. So, regardless of the Cybertruck being nice at giving us all a number of laughs forward of it occurring sale, it’s no less than nonetheless in a single oddly formed piece.
