At the end of last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk released the company’s first electric pickup truck, called Cybertruck, at an event in Los Angeles, California, USA. The pickup truck is completely different and was inspired by the 1982 science fiction film "Blade Runner". Its exaggerated shape stunned everyone once it was displayed. This ultra-futuristic design has really entered our lives.
Cybertruck has a unique design, and its appearance and specifications are very different from traditional gasoline-based pickup trucks. Musk once said that the design of this pickup truck is not suitable for everyone. He even did not conduct market research when designing this vehicle, so naturally it is not for all markets. Despite this, the pickup truck has received a large number of reservations based on its unique appearance and published data, and attracted the attention of many people around the world.
What impressed me most about the Tesla Cybertruck is that as a car, it has no rearview mirrors or wipers, and looks like a triangular three-dimensional box. The absence of these design and parts has led some to believe that this is purely a concept car rather than an actual production model. Tesla officials should turn the reflector into a camera and present it to the driver in the car through streaming media. As for wipers, Tesla has applied for patents for two types of windshield wipers. The patent shows that Tesla is preparing to combine magnetic levitation technology with wipers and apply it to the Cybertruck. The first patent is for a laser cleaning system that will replace regular wipers. It automatically identifies any dirt and removes it without human intervention or instructions. The second type of windshield wiper is only available on Cybertruck series models. According to the patent, a magnetic levitation guide rail is installed under the front windshield of the Cybertruck pickup truck, and a metal block with an electromagnetic coil is wrapped around the guide rail, and the wiper is installed on this metal block. Effectively reduce friction coefficient and battery consumption.
As expected, the Cybertruck's performance configuration is impressive, with the fastest acceleration from 0 to 60 miles per hour (approximately 97 kilometers per hour) in just 2.9 seconds, and a towing capacity of more than 14,000 pounds (approximately 97 kilometers per hour). 6.4 tons), with a top speed of 130 miles per hour (approximately 209 kilometers). The cruising range is divided into three types according to the model: 250 miles with single-motor rear-wheel drive, 300 miles with dual-motor all-wheel drive, and 500 miles with three-motor all-wheel drive. mile. According to data, its towing capacity has surpassed Ford's F-150. As the F-150 is the leader in the pickup industry, the capabilities of the Tesla Cybertruck should not be underestimated.
Cybertruck supports 250KW high-power charging through a supercharger. The car is also equipped with an air compressor. What is even more exaggerated is that Tesla provides the option of solar charging configuration. Although the Cybertruck is not specifically designed for off-road scenarios, it is made of high-strength materials such as super-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel and armored glass. The Cybertruck is resistant to 9mm bullets, and its sleek, monochromatic exoskeleton architecture helps protect the vehicle from dents, damage and long-term corrosion. In addition, this model will be made of alloys used in SpaceX’s spacecraft, which really applies black technology to every aspect.
Whether Cybertruck will be successful or not, at least the pre-order data of well over 650,000 is very good, so we stay tuned.
