This is quite a surprise since Tesla recently claimed it would not include physical side mirrors on its Cybertruck.
Instead, the automaker wants to integrate camera-based side mirrors.
However, since the law requires all vehicles to have side mirrors, Elon Musk said that they will design removal versions of this component for the Cybertruck.
Since this is the case, there's a high chance that the triangular side mirrors will be used in the upcoming Cybertruck mass production.
Of course, this will still depend on Tesla's final decision.
Aside from side mirrors, other changes were also spotted in the latest prototype. These include a working tonneau cover as well as a working side window.

Cybertruck's Mass Production Delay
Engadget reported that the Tesla Cybertruck mass production had been pushed by Elon Musk again.
This time, the billionaire said that they would start mass-producing the EV in 2024.
Although this is the case, the Tesla CEO still expects Cybertruck to be manufactured this coming summer.
But, he told consumers that the production would be very slow in the early phase.
This means that the Cybertruck units will be limited. If you want to learn more details about the upcoming Tesla Cybertruck mass production, you can visit this link.
