The Cybertruck prototype was spotted on public roads in Palo Alto, California, with a new side mirror design. It seems the company will implement a new, triangular side mirror design that fits the sharp edges of the futuristic cyberpunk-inspired vehicle. The Cybertruck design is far from ordinary, and the idea of implementing a camera-based system that would utilize a side mirror has been sparred with.

The NHTSA has entertained a potential change in this requirement as "Camera Monitor Systems" could be considered a safe and viable alternative to review mirrors. Some states have different laws regarding mirrors. Utah only requires one of the two mirrors to be a driver-side mirror. The other could be a mirror in the cabin.

In Oklahoma, one of the two required mirrors must be located on the driver's side of the vehicle. In some instances, the Cybertruck has been completely void of them, and others have equipped various mirror shapes.
