A Tesla Cybertruck prototype has been noticed throughout chilly climate testing at New Zealand’s Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds (SHPG) with what seems to be a trailer connected to it, making it the primary incidence the place the upcoming all-electric pickup is towing one thing.

The pictures, which had been posted on the Cybertruck Homeowners Membership discussion board by the person Stumby, don’t present the entire trailer however simply the half towards the tongue, making it unattainable to guage how huge the load is.

Up entrance, there’s a further LED gentle bar mounted on the bumper, presumably for driving at night time on the proving floor, however we will’t assist however marvel if Tesla will supply it as an official accent after the Cybertruck goes on sale.

Beforehand, one other prototype was noticed in the identical place in New Zealand sporting the “604” quantity on its aspect, whereas one other sighting revealed a camouflaged truck with “535” written on it.

“512” was seen as soon as earlier than, presumably on the identical automobile, seeing the way it doesn’t have a wrap this time and it didn’t have a wrap the primary time it was noticed.

Technical particulars concerning the Cybertruck are nearly nonexistent now, with the corporate deleting the powertrain info from its web site some time again.

Launch candidate (RC) items are already being assembled on the agency’s Texas Gigafactory, with a particular supply occasion anticipated to occur someday within the subsequent quarter, presumably subsequent month, the place we’ll seemingly see the primary customer-intent Cybertruck for the primary time.
