The Cybertruck’s charging port is on the wheel well, which is a little further forward in the vehicle than the ports that are placed beside the taillight in other Teslas. Tesla says the Cybertruck will be the first sub-19-foot pickup with four doors and a 6-foot bed, but that’s still about 3 feet longer than a Model 3, and it will be wider as well. (Hmm, it sure would be nice to have parking sensors to help with that.)īut the Cybertruck compounds this problem by being a much larger vehicle and thus taking up most of the spot. You feel like you need to get quite close to the curb/charger in order to reach it. There’s still some slack in it, but not much, and you can tell that the truck is cheated to the right side of the parking spot to give a little extra room.Īnyone who has supercharged will know that the cables aren’t very long and don’t give you a ton of wiggle room when backing into a spot. The video, posted to YouTube by Tesla Uber Guy, shows the truck charging at a supercharger, but due to the truck’s size, the cable is looking a bit stretched. The driver of the truck is an employee wearing a “McKinley Laboratory” T-shirt, though, as you might expect, he couldn’t say anything about what was happening. Two are taped to the vehicle near the charging port (which makes sense if they’re testing supercharging), and one runs between the tow hitch area and the rear passenger window. In the video, we can see that the RC has several wires and sensors attached. It’s further along than the alpha and beta versions would be.Īnd so, this is the “final” version of the Cybertruck before going into full production, if Tesla’s stickers are to be believed. In software, “RC” stands for “release candidate” and is used to designate an internal build of software that is basically the final internal version before release. But now we’re seeing it in new clothes, with stickers on the side and rear that say “RC_BUILD ENGINEERING PROTOTYPE.” We’ve also seen it wearing silly wraps, looking like an F-150 or a Tundra. We’ve seen it towing a trailer, with the frunk open and liner installed, and the components under the hood and the interior. The Tesla Cybertruck is coming soon, and we’ve been seeing more and more pics and videos of it testing in recent days. A Tesla Cybertruck labeled as an “RC Engineering Prototype” has been spotted supercharging in Las Vegas, showing why V4 superchargers will be needed as more vehicles get access to the supercharger network.
