will the cyber truck come out in 2021 this is a question we're going to be looking at
and discussing the manufacturing process because the cyber truck as you can see is quite different
from tesla's lineup of vehicles in fact it requires an entirely new process of manufacturing
so starting off the cyber truck is actually made from the same stainless steel that the starship
rocket will be made it's some 300x stainless steel i don't know if tesla has decided exactly which
alloy they're going to use for the stainless steel but it's going to be some in the 300x family so
as shown in the demo this stainless steel cyber truck is going to be extremely strong i mean it
could take a sledgehammer to its door and nothing happens to it that's pretty tough if you ask me
so here's where the cyber truck differs from the other lineup of tesla vehicles all other tesla
vehicles have a different process of manufacturing they have an underbody which elon wants to
basically make a cast a rear cast a front cast and a battery pack in the middle which will be a
structural part of the vehicle itself so when you have the core underbody or you can call it like a
chassis once you have that you can basically slap on any sort of body panels you want and
make the car look however you want it basically you can just design the car to look in a certain
way and just design the underbody to be rigid enough to actually support the vehicle the cyber
truck is different in that it's an exoskeleton an exoskeleton actually means something it's not
just a term that elon just pulled out his head and was just like exoskeleton sounds cool let's do it
so on google the definition of exoskeleton is the external skeleton that supports and protects an
animal's body in contrast to the internal skeleton endoskeleton so basically you can think of this as
the shell of the car or whatever you see is not body panels they're not stamped body panels that
you basically bolt on to the chassis itself that is the load bearing shell that means
what you see is literally the structure of the car that's the underbody and that's why the
car is designed in that way because the stainless steel is extremely hard you can't really stamp it
it will literally break the stamping machines the most powerful stamping machines we have
and because of that you have to fold the stainless steel cut
and fold i think they're going to use like laser cutting techniques and fold it in a certain way
that's why this basically looks like a very low polygon type of shape and doesn't have
really any curves if you look at cyber truck it just doesn't have any curves to it's just
sharp edges for the most part so because of this new manufacturing technique that tesla is actually
going to be using the cyber truck could eventually be delayed and be pushed into 2022. i mean elon
himself said that because the cyber truck is brand new it could be delayed a little bit
it's going to be produced in austin texas and the factory that they're building there isn't even
close to being complete so saying that it's going to come out the end of the year i totally believe
it that they could eventually do it of course i'm not doubting tesla at all but they don't even have
a factory up and running yet so it's kind of hard to estimate a timeline for the cyber truck when
the factory isn't even up and running especially because the cyber truck is going to start using
the newer 4680 cells and those cells are going to be going into the model y made in berlin and
berlin factory is nearly complete or at least the structure part is nearly complete and so tesla
will ship the cells from us all the way to germany to go in the model wise there but even with
gigatexas i'm presuming that tesla will actually start producing the model y in the same sense that
they're producing the model y in germany using the newer cells and those same cells are going to go
into the semi truck and the cyber truck so tesla still has to ramp up their cell production plus
they really need to improve their reliability which it's been a while it's been nearly half
a year since battery day so i'm guessing they have improved reliability quite a bit but who knows how
reliable the cells are right now other than tesla so that needs to get going and then you got the
factory itself that needs to be built out and all the machines and everything has to be fitted in
and most likely i think they're going to start off by producing the model y in the beginning
at giga texas they're going to start off with the model y and then start producing the cyber truck
eventually probably setting up the lines for the cyber truck as well but not starting production
or at least volume production anytime soon i think they want to perfect their manufacturing
process first and then they can really start turning out the cyber trucks because the demand
for the cyber truck is insane i think there's like a million reservations for it or something
to date so tesla basically has a three year wait time for the cyber truck based on their capacity
and how they're going to ramp up now the good thing here is that the more complicated things
in manufacturing like the paint shop are not even going to be existing on the cyber truck
you're basically going to get the cyber truck in its form that you all see the stainless steel form
it's literally going to look like that when you get the truck and then you can decide to wrap
it later if you want and that's partially how they can bring the cost down to the starting
price of 39 000 dollars for this truck which is basically the starting price of a model 3.
judge krebs also says that the steel dynamics plant being built in cinton should also be in
production michael gibson has more on these two huge economic drivers that are bringing
much-needed jobs and tax dollars to the county plus there's a connection to tesla in all of this
this is the 1.7 billion dollar steel dynamics plant under construction in senton it's supposed
to be up and running by the fall of 2021. not only is it going to provide hundreds of
good paying jobs but it's also going to supply the steel used in making tesla's cyber truck
right now tesla is building a factory in austin that will produce the cyber truck
so the factory that's going to supply the steel to the cyber truck and the starship isn't running yet
so that can actually delay when the cyber truck comes out so let's do a summary of what delays we
can actually expect number one will be the factory itself giga texas still being built whenever that
gets done it'll start churning out model wise and then eventually the cyber truck number two
the stainless steel factory from which tesla will actually buy the stainless steel from that factory
isn't even up and running they already got the land i think they even started construction but
that factory is still not up and running just yet and then number three it's a completely different
design from all their other vehicles which means it's going to take quite a long time for them to
eventually start ramping up production because take for example the model 3 it was a completely
different design from the model s and x because they used a different chassis different battery
different everything pretty much and it took tesla quite a while for them to actually ramp
up the model 3 production but now with the model y because it's based on the same platform as the
model 3 you already have the platform there and now you just improve on it and you can get the
model y pretty much six months earlier this is why there are rumors that the plaid model
s might come pretty early because it's already based on the model s chassis obviously with major
updates probably with the structural battery pack and everything but with the cyber truck it's a
completely different vehicle it's a completely different style of manufacturing there are no
stamping machines you're not going to have a paint job so those do in essence help with production
the fact that you don't have extra steps but considering it's an entirely new process i think
tesla team has to learn and i'm pretty sure that the early build cyber trucks aren't going to be
that good so maybe you might want to hold off for a 2022 cyber truck who knows but i guarantee you
this cyber truck is going to be an exceptional vehicle and i think once you get it even with all
its flaws that it might have i think you're gonna really love the vehicle i personally have three
on pre-order so just giving you a perspective here so i personally cannot wait for the cyber truck i
wish it comes out tomorrow i'll take it tomorrow i really want the cyber track i'm really excited for
i'm really excited to see how tesla is actually going to do it side mirrors windshield washers
wipers basically you know all the stuff that is regulatory approval and such really excited
to see what happens really excited to see what 2021 brings to tesla remember it's a year of the
cyber truck it's a year of the tesla semi it's a year of the plot model s it's the year of the new
berlin model y with the new paint shop and new cells and everything it's it's going to be an
exceptional year for tesla and i'm just really excited for everything that's going to happen so
thank you for watching hope you enjoyed this one and happy new year let's make this year a good one
peace
you
