Apparently there is a new Cybertruck plant going up in Nevada. They never build a factory the same way twice. The Austin factory is larger than the Pentagon.

One painted the most god awful purple turned left in front of us yesterday. Quote the wife: "What the hell is that?"
Thought they were just expanding the current manufacturing one outside of Reno

The Cybertruck wheels look like my Segway wheels.

Possibly the most logical wheel ever? Not flat or Moon shaped, but similar to some Porsche Rotiform wheels minus the cooling vents.

Then for lightweighting, sunken ribs to the mounting holes. An approach opposite to the Convo Pro by Centerline that corrugated the rim.
