yes, apart from the fact that one is absolutely nothing like the other, they’re almost identical.

I give them credit for getting this close from a rendering to actual production.
Are you talking about the truck itself, or the basecamp tent? The tent looks nothing like the rendering.

15 of them are being delivered in Tennessee. I wouldn't be surprised if Knoxville gets a few.

ha, i think you're talking about the campers which are obviously nothing alike but the cybertruck, as jrmckinley points out are 'virtually identical' in the two pics and that was what i was referring to.

There are two of them here. They had really nice guys sitting out under a tent. He said they were making one delivery today. I asked him who gets these (just kind of in general), and I swear he said 4-5 years "just who's on the list"... but I could be wrong because it wasn't directed toward me but rather the people that were really looking at Teslas.




I’m not really that big of a fan of the styling as I was, from the side profile angle in the first pic. Still really cool though.

maybe they'll improve manufacturing capability to round the awful apex at the top of the roof.

Talking First sighting in my area

Sitting in the pharmacy parking lot, I caught my first in-person glimpse of the CT. It is definitely an odd duck! That single windshield wiper blade is rather awkward-looking. It definitely catches the eye and then grabs your attention like an ice pick right through your corneas!


The second video is of... Well, it's self-explanatory!

maybe instead of the massive single wiper on one side of the massive windshield they could have little tracks on left and right and a huge horizontal blade that sweeps from top to bottom
