During the commissioning ceremony of Tesla's Megapack project in California, now one of the world's largest battery energy plants, a Tesla Cybertruck prototype made a rare public appearance.

The prototype, on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. As seen in photographs acquired by local TV station KSBW that show loose cables falling out of the vehicle's futuristic yoke-style steering wheel,

The interior appears to have been stripped of various components, including the wheel-mounted airbag and the front-facing camera casing.

While we might anticipate a prototype to have a few flaws, it doesn't appear that the firm went out of its way to make the car attractive, especially considering the very solemn event.

It's also worth noting that this isn't the first time Tesla has purposefully decided to show off a shoddy prototype to the press.

We did get a look at the forthcoming truck's center console and its elegant instrument cluster. We also got a close look.

The truck's massive windshield wiper appears to have shrunk somewhat since the last time we saw it.

The brutalist pickup's delivery date was pushed back to next year, but it's already June - and the clock is ticking.

According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's commitments made last year, production was supposed to have begun by now.

The Cybertruck was supposed to be Musk's pet project, but based on what we've seen so far, people who preordered a truck will likely have to wait even longer as the company shifts its focus.
