Tesla Cybertruck First Test! Can it Handle Going Off-Road? | MotorTrend
Переглядів 69,860
Місяць томуWe finally got our hands on a Tesla Cybertruck - time to put it through its paces. However, we weren’t interested in doing all the surface-level things you’ve seen in other Cybertruck videos, we wanted to actually drive it. On-road, off-road, through mud, dirt, and rain - everything we could possibly do to test its limits, and try to make our minds up on this “truck”.

I think what you're seeing isn't different color shades, it's just different grains in the stainless. As the light hits it, the different grains bounce off the light differently.
