Tesla Semi graphics shows up in the Tesla iOS app

The Tesla Semi is nigh, with reports claiming that on December 1, Pepsi will take delivery of between 10 and 15 battery-electric Semis. Behind the scenes, Tesla's prepping for customer deliveries by updating its iOS App with information on the Semi and the Cybertruck. An outfit called Tesla App Updates always leaps into the code when a new app version drops, and it took apart v4.14.3, discovering code for the Model T which is the Semi, and the Model C designating the Cybertruck. Also hidden where normal app users wouldn't find them are 3D images of the Semi. Tesla App Updates posted the raw files, which Twitter user OlympusDev then rendered with color. It's expected these images will be graphical representations in the Semi's information screens.

Previous renderings have left a lot to the imagination, this new set is more fleshed out. The driver-side door opens suicide style, behind the driver. We don't have an image of the right side of the Semi yet, but based on the position of the grab handle, it appears the passenger's door will open the same way. Now we want to know if the door windows will roll down. From the cockpit view, a set of beefy handles encourages us to think the forward windows will operate like vents, hinged at the front, open at the back. Stepping outside again, we can see the frunk front and center, and the megacharger port behind the driver's door.
