Does that refer to rear wheel steering?
Tearing it Up
The excitement surrounding Teslas Cybertruck is building.
Newly leaked video from the showroom shows the tough-edged stainless-steel vehicle riding on dirt roads and through fields while eating donuts.
This news comes just days after Lars Moravy (Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla) confirmed that Elon Musk's automaker was producing prototypes of Cybertrucks during last week's Q3 2021 earnings report.
We have built several alphas, as you may have seen in social media recently, and are currently testing them to improve the design.

Take Notice
Moravy also mentioned a leaked video that shows an early Cybertruck prototype, with an impressively tight turning radius. This is due to a new feature that allows its rear wheels to point in opposite direction. Moravy called rear steering during this call.
The truck has rear view mirrors as well, despite earlier prototypes not having them.
Recent research has shown that the launch of these unusual trucks was moved from the end this year to the late 2022. The production will be done at Tesla's new Gigafactory in Austin, Texas.
Tesla still accepts refundable preorders up to $100 via its website. It is not clear how much the truck will end up costing. The truck's specs and price were removed by the company from its website.

However, the truck's imposing size is unlikely to make it the most expensive car in the company's fleet.
