A Tesla Cybertruck prototype with an updated windshield wiper and new look inside has made a rare new appearance at an official event to launch the Tesla Megapack project at Moss Landing, California. <\/p>\n

Moss Landing is the site of several major energy storage projects including a giant 730 MWh Tesla Megapack project for PG&E \u2013 making it one of the largest battery energy storage projects in the world.<\/p>\n

As we previously reported, it was turned on for the first time back in April<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it was first activated a few months ago, the commissioning ceremony was officially held yesterday:<\/p>\n

As you can see, a Tesla Cybertruck prototype made a rare appearance at the event. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quick video of the electric pickup truck prototype arriving at the event:<\/p>\n

One of the first things that we noticed is that this prototype is equipped with a much smaller windshield wiper than the previous prototype spotted in the wild<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tesla CEO Elon Musk had previously said that the giant wiper wasn\u2019t what will make it to the production version.<\/p>\n

Local news KSBW<\/a> also managed to get some rare pictures of the interior of the Cybertruck prototype during the outing:<\/p>\n

We can see that the prototype is not completed with the airbag seemingly having been removed from the steering wheel and the front-facing camera enclosure being removed.<\/p>\n

But we do get rare looks at the instrument cluster screen and the center console.<\/p>\n

The Cybertruck was unveiled back in 2019. The electric pickup truck was already supposed to be in production, but the automaker delayed the program as it focused on growing Model Y production.<\/p>\n

Now, the company is planning for the production of the Tesla Cybertruck to start in 2023, and we recently saw some progress toward that actually happening with Idra preparing to deliver a new giant Giga press designed to produce the Cybertruck\u2019s body<\/a>.<\/p>\n
