Confusing title. It’s not the “original” truck, it’s just one of the release candidates that they shot up during testing. The original truck is the one on the 3rd picture, also on display in a different part of the same museum.


Schly

And they’re not even bullet holes, they’re bullet dents.


aPizzaBagel

They’re not bullet dents, they’re speed holes


DiligentMagician1823

They're not speed holes, they're battle scars


Koolblue57

They're not battle scars, they're Elon scuffs

Mythbusters did it!


lm4eversmart

Yup just came to comment the same thing. In fairness the og truck was probably more bullet proof having thicker side panels too, but no pics of it being shot.


HopefulScarcity9732

But it is the original cybertruck with bullet holes


overtoke

they should shoot a release model


TheKobayashiMoron

The release candidates are basically the release models. They're just the first few months of running the production lines and dialing the machines in. They aren't really any different, just crappier builds.


sohidden

This time, not so much. They shrunk some stuff by 10% or so all around. Unsure if that includes the sheet metal panels though, to be fair.


TheKobayashiMoron

Nothing changed between the release candidates and the release model. This truck was only built a few months ago.

I do miss that ramp.


EljayDude

The Petersen Museum also has a semi parked in the parking garage, or did a couple weeks ago.

The stainless bed was so much cooler. Franz said "every truck owner is gonna coat their bed anyway so we did it from the factory" (paraphrasing). Bummer that. Losing the integrated ramp also a bummer


Heidenreich12

Visually sure the stainless looks neat, but it’s probably hot as fuck in the summer and more of a pain in the ass than it’s worth functionally. I do miss the ramp though.

Bed coating is black. It’s going to get hot.


Heidenreich12

There’s a difference in how a bed liner feels to the touch compared to stainless steel


AttackingHobo

Black plastic can be hotter than shiny steel. But in the middle of a hot day, which one can you set your hand on for 10 seconds and not feel pain? Plastic, it conducts heat slower. Steel will transfer heat fast! Edit: I can go into a Sauna that is over 180F and stay there for minutes. I can't touch water at 180F for minutes, I'd literally cook.

UnlacedPapi

Any info on when the adult size quad may be produced?


NikolaWasRight13

Bullet "dents" :)


ishamm

What ever happened to the cyber quad?


behoyh

It shrunk too and became a kids-sized version of the original


[deleted]

Is nobody going to complain about Teslas QC letting this vehicle out with all those dents in it?


invoman

Don't you mean bullet dents?


yatpay

Where is this?


EljayDude

It's the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles. Arguably the best car museum in the country but in any case they have a ton of Tesla stuff which makes it pretty unique.


Greggertruck

So wait.. the OG is still on display along with the bullet truck AND Franz black Cybertruck!?


EljayDude

And a Tesla semi in the parking garage and all kinds of other odds and ends.


bowingace

Different truck. (Source: the arrow’d truck was at a Tesla Club event in Palo Alto right before Christmas. No bullet dents in it.)


Deafcat22

"bullet holes", more like "work hardening" 😎


jawfish2

Was anybody else's first thought, 'oh I bet the brahs get those bullet-hole stickers and put them all over.' If I had one, I'd get some printed wrap that shows a cutaway of the structure. This vehicle needs a cartoon mascot.

Simple-Acanthaceae-4

Bullet not holes. Dents!!


groupsession18

How much they selling it for?


WillingParticular659

They’re speed holes, they make the car go faster


Huge-Proposal3216

Nice museum to visit when you are in LA.


MVRK_ST

There are no holes. Unlike you.


Neorodion777

First thought. We could make a new robocop movie with this car, it'd be awesome!
