Tesla Cybertruck is one of the most anticipated electric vehicles to ever hit the market, and its movements have been closely followed by EV fans and prospective buyers.
The latest sighting comes from Greggertruck on Twitter, this time it has been spotted with two daytime running lights (DRLs). Along with that, it appears to be missing the large windscreen wiper which has been seen in previous prototypes.

The lack of windscreen wipercreated a bit of curiosity. One Cybertruck enthusiast replied to this sighting by commenting on itās removability potential:
āMagnetic hot swap-able gigantic wiper? Like something that snaps on to the knob there on the bottom corner of driver side on windshield where it would pivot the wiper.ā
What it does show is the new triangular rear-view mirrors. Itās not clear as of yet whether the initial customer-production vehicles will include these triangular mirrors and if they will be removable.
Another Cybertruck was later spotted driving off from a set of traffic lights. This was captured by Greggertruck and shared on Twitter:

A second machine is potentially on its way for a ramped Cybertruck production commencement in the coming months.
Over the coming months, we look forward to seeing more developments in the design as more testing is done in anticipation of production starting by the second half of this year.
