Elon Musk has mentioned that the Tesla Cybertruck\u2019s production version would be extremely similar to the all-electric pickup truck\u2019s controversial prototype from 2019. While this may largely be the case, Musk has hinted at some new features that would be included in the production Cybertruck. Apart from updated door handles and rear-wheel steering capabilities, for example, Musk also hinted at \u201cother great things\u201d<\/a> coming for the vehicle.<\/p>\n

A recently published patent application from Tesla has now hinted at a couple more updates that may be coming to the Cybertruck, at least on the design front. The patent, titled \u201cAutomotive Glass Structure Having Feature Lines and Related Method of Manufacture,\u201d<\/a> describes a way to form extremely durable glass structures with aggressive curves and folds. Using such a technique, Tesla stated that it could create components like windshields with very aggressive feature lines that would otherwise not be possible with conventional glass-forming methods.<\/p>\n

The patent application\u2019s illustrations showcased how the system would be used in a vehicle such as the Cybertruck. One of the images in the patent featured the far left and right side of the Cybertruck\u2019s windshield having aggressive feature lines<\/a> that make the all-electric pickup truck even more futuristic and CGI-esque. This is quite different from the windshield used on the prototype Cybertruck, which seemed completely flat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
