Tesla’s Cybertruck has been spotted in a unique camouflage pattern over its steel outer body, driving around the streets of Palo Alto in California.
It was spotted by a Tesla enthusiast SERobinsonJr on Twitter.
The latest sighting makes the Cybertruck look near complete with a large horizontal lightbar seen at the front of the Cybertruck.

Black wheels are also spotted in this example as the testing phase of the truck appears to be going well.
This comes on the back of news that the Cybertruck deliveries could commence in Q3, according to CEO, Elon Musk.
“Well I think we will save that for the Cybetruck handover which will hopefully be at the end of Q3 this year,” Musk said at the Q1 Tesla earnings call back in April.
Just prior to the call, the Cybertruck Alpha production line was also being setup at Tesla’s Austin plant which was shared on Twitter by Musk himself.
That was an exciting moment for hundreds of thousands of order holders worldwide who have been waiting for the steel truck to hit the road since it was unveiled back in November 2019.
Since the unveiling, there have been several design changes, including various mirror and wiper designs.
All this seems to be coming together now with the latest sighting confirming the large wiper and the triangular mirrors to remain on the truck as it goes into production in the coming months.
With a larger screen than the Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, recently also seen on the inside along with a new stalk-less steering wheel, it’s going to be quite an exciting new vehicle from the inside and out.
Many still believe that the Cybertruck will not make it into production but as the sightings become more frequent, it seems to be heading away from the consensus.
