Tesla Cybertruck spotted in the wild with rooftop sensor suite
A Tesla Cybertruck has been spotted in the wild sporting a rooftop sensor suite. Similar to other rooftop setups that have been sighted in other Teslas like the Tesla Semi, the Cybertruck’s rooftop rig seems to include LiDAR sensors.
Images of the Cybertruck with its unique sensor suite were shared on social media platform X. As could be seen in the images, the Cybertruck that was fitted with the sensors is a Release Candidate (RC) unit. And while it was reportedly sighted in San Jose, California, the vehicle had Texas plates.
While the rooftop sensor suite in the Cybertruck is quite similar to the rigs that have been spotted in other Teslas in the past, the sensors’ placement in the all-electric pickup truck is quite interesting. In typical Teslas like the Model Y and Model X, the rooftop rigs are typically installed on the vehicles’ roofs. In the Cybertruck, the sensors extended past the roof and well into the bed.
Found a RC Cybertruck at my local Whole Foods in San Jose with additional hardware.

Tesla typically uses select test vehicles with LiDAR rigs to gather information and validate vision data. This particular practice has caused some confusion among Tesla critics considering Elon Musk’s public stance on LiDAR being used on production vehicles.
Spotted a Cybertruck with Luminar lidar and GPS sensors today (6/7/24). Couldn’t get a video because I was on a Zoom call in an Uber. Wonder how much longer until FSD is available on CT. pic.twitter.com/wI2R3RP6ID

Tesla outlined such a practice in a previous patent, with the EV maker noting that an “auxiliary sensor, such as radar, LiDAR, or another sensor” could be used to collect training data that can be “used to train a machine learning model.” Considering the presence of sensors that were sighted in the Cybertruck’s roof, it would appear that Tesla is definitely working on the all-electric pickup truck’s driver-assist features.
Today, while charging my CyberTruck, I saw the Tesla’s CyberTruck test model. It looks like they’re testing a new tech kit on the Cybertruck, maybe for the autopilot? It looks amazing—futuristic cameras + antenas. Cool design! @elonmusk @teslaownersSV @Tesla @klwtts @UTECHPIA pic.twitter.com/m4ptvWBXCC

While the Cybertruck has been delivered to customers since late 2023, the all-electric pickup truck still does not have Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (FSD) functions. This has created a pretty unique situation among Cybertruck owners, since they drive a vehicle that is both equipped with the company’s most advanced innovations such as steer-by-wire but is still missing features like basic Autopilot, which is available even in the most affordable Model 3 sedan.
