[Understanding Chedi Original Products] Recently, we learned from Tesla officials that the Tesla Cybertruck will not be mass-produced in early 2023 as planned. Cybertruck is expected to enter small-scale production in the summer of 2023, but Tesla said that it will not invest too much production capacity in Cybertruck, and a significant increase in production capacity will begin in 2024.

Tesla Cybertruck actual car picture

As early as November 2019, Tesla officially released the electric pickup truck Cybertruck. The vehicle was originally planned to be mass-produced in 2021. However, because Tesla focused on increasing the production of Model Y, the production plan of the electric pickup truck was postponed. Now, Tesla plans to start small-scale mass production of Cybertruck in the summer of 2023, which is significantly later than expected.

It is worth mentioning that Cybertruck previously received 250,000 orders in the first week after opening reservations. In September 2020, Musk revealed that its reservations had exceeded 600,000 vehicles. However, after that, Tesla and Musk never announced the number of reservations.

The body shape has a certain "futuristic feel"

The rear is equipped with a through-type light group

Judging from the previously exposed pictures of the actual Cybertruck, the size of the mass-produced Cybertruck has been reduced by an equal proportion compared to the prototype released in 2019. The production version of Tesla Cybertruck may be reduced by 25 mm in width and 150 mm in length. For reference, the previously released prototype was 5885mm long and 2026mm wide.

At the same time, the mass-produced version of Cybertruck adds a traditional-shaped exterior rearview mirror on the rear side of the A pillar , and the front windshield is equipped with a huge wiper . In addition, the shape of the headlights has been adjusted, the windshield has been changed to a curved surface and the previous fully enclosed rim has been cancelled.

Judging from the interior pictures, the mass-produced version of the Cybertruck is equipped with a Yoke steering wheel, a large central control screen and an LCD instrument. In addition, a "small window" has been added below the A-pillar, but its specific function is not yet clear.

In terms of battery life, the Tesla Cybertruck production version is expected to be available in three battery life versions of 402 kilometers, 483 kilometers and 804 kilometers, and is equipped with an adjustable air suspension system. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 2.9 seconds.

The 9,000-ton die-casting machine built by Idra Group for Tesla has completed construction and testing

In October 2022, the 9,000-ton die-casting machine built by Idra Group for Tesla has completed construction and testing. It will be shipped to Tesla's Texas Gigafactory for use in Cybertruck body manufacturing.

In November 2022, Tesla has begun recruiting employees for the Texas Gigafactory, mainly responsible for the mass production of Cybertruck. It is reported that this is the first time Tesla has listed the first batch of recruitment information for the production of Cybertruck, which includes positions such as dimensional engineer, manufacturing operations supervisor, and senior equipment engineer. For more information about the new car, the car-savvy emperor will continue to pay attention.
