Cybertruck Frames Are Making Big Rounds on Twitter. Tesla May Have Started Production

From Torque News.

Tesla Cybertruck frames are making big rounds on Twitter. I don’t know who took these photos, but they are like, wow.

Twitter user Mathias Fons says "This photo was uploaded to Facebook by an anonymous account — who claimed to have received it from someone that works at Tesla’s Austin factory (deleted quickly after)."

You are seeing something similar to the full exoskeleton of the Cybertruck. Tesla is going to need a lot of space to store them. I don’t think they can be stacked on top of each other, do you? Actually, to be more specific, you are seeing two Cybertruck Body-in-Whites, which includes the stamped and welded passenger shell and front and rear full castings bolted to the passenger shell.

Some of you may ask: Wasn’t the Tesla Cybertruck announced as an exoskeleton-only design to lower weight? This does not look like that at all. Surely that’s a pretty traditional manufacturing method that’ll have body panels hung on it.

Craig Mouser on Twitter, addresses this dilemma and explains that "Cars are generally on frame or unibody. Trucks are all on frames to give them the additional strength. The Cybertruck will not have a frame and will be unibody. If you search those terms you can find some very interesting videos with more info."
