Following the S3XY series, Tesla's first all-electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, has started deliveries in North America.
The Cybertruck was released four years ago, and many people thought it was an impossible car, experts said it would never be made, and even Tesla CEO Elon Musk once described the difficulty of mass production of the car as digging a hole for himself at the earnings conference. It can also be seen from its sci-fi shape that it puts forward higher requirements for the vehicle's manufacturing process, mechanical architecture, and production technology.
Finally, at 4 a.m. Beijing time on December 1, at Tesla's Gigafactory in Texas, Elon Musk opened the first deliveries of this "impossible" Cybertruck Cybertruck pickup.
Let's take a look at the Cybertruck's product power
First, if the truck is practical, it is faster than a sports car
The Cybertruck uses a stainless steel exoskeleton body, adaptive air suspension, 432mm ground clearance, and all-terrain tires to adapt to various road conditions
With a mass of 3,104 kg, a payload of 1,134 kg and a traction force of 4,990 kg (equivalent to the average weight of an African elephant), the cargo box is made of sturdy composite materials and can hold 4 ft x 8 ft (about 122 cm x 244 cm) of cargo, with steer-by-wire and rear-wheel steering for a smaller turning radius.
The Cybertruck is divided into rear-wheel drive version, all-wheel drive version, and beast version, with a 0-100km h acceleration of 27S, the maximum speed is 209 km/h, and the estimated cruising range is 547 km.
Second, anti-bullet and anti-rollover, how safe is it?
Tesla's new alloy for the Cybertruck made it resistant to the "violent experiment" of Thomson's submachine gun fire, and not a single bullet entered the passenger compartment
Armored glass is resistant to baseballs at speeds of 112 km/h or level 4 hail (diameter at 2.).5cm-5cm hail);
An extra-hard stainless steel exoskeleton that helps reduce surface dents, damage, and corrosion caused by long-term use
The ultra-low center of gravity gives it better handling stability and is not prone to rollover.
3. ** and the prospect of pure electric pickups
The Cybertruck is available in rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and beast versions, and is currently priced at $49,890, $68,890, and $96,390 on the U.S. website.
North America is the best-selling region for pickup trucks in the world, with total sales of pickup trucks in the United States reaching 2.7 million units in 2022, and according to third-party statistics, the current order volume for Cybertruck Cybertruck pickup trucks has exceeded 2 million. This all-electric pickup truck is undoubtedly a good opportunity for Tesla to increase sales, and the Cybertruck will also compete with pure electric pickup trucks such as the Ford F150 Lightning, RAM Revolution, and Rivian R1T.
One sentence comment
The Cybertruck is an eye-catching vehicle from every point of view, and it is very curious in terms of design, craftsmanship, and performance. According to the price in the United States and the current exchange rate, the price of the entry-level rear-wheel drive version is equivalent to about 360,000 yuan, which is much cheaper than the Ford F150 Raptor. In the eyes of domestic users, most of the pickup trucks are toy attributes, and a pure electric pickup truck that looks sci-fi, runs fast, and is very practical is definitely very interesting. What's even more interesting is that the new domestic car companies have been busy launching pure electric MPVs recently, but Tesla has delivered a pure electric pickup, believing that pure electric MPVs are life, and pure electric pickups are enjoying life!
If the price is about 400,000 yuan, will you choose a pure electric MPV or a pure electric pickup?
