Looking at the extra ordinary and, highly disruptive impact of Tesla,
we can safely say that Tesla is the Beacon of innovation in modern tech.
From breaking the ground for new and innovative ideas, to their ecofriendly products, which are
also cost friendly and provide equal… in fact more utility than any other traditional fuel-based
automobiles, and their futuristic designs that you would only have seen in sci-fi movies –tesla has
been making its own unique way, distinguishing itself from already standing auto giants,
and setting a new precedent all over. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as we all know,
is a visionary! And Electric motors are not the only disruption he has brought
to the existing tech markets. His ideas are out of the world…quite literally.
Space X is his another, very famous company that we know for its disruption in space rocketing –
where now we have got reusable rockets, thanks to his and his incredible team’s unrelenting
ambition, intelligence and hard work and… well it is difficult to put into words, you get the point!
The tesla pickup truck project After a very deserved success of the
Tesla Sedan and SUV models S, 3, X and Y, and the pipeline project of the Tesla Roadster (which is
to be unveiled in around mid of 2021), the next milestone was the Tesla’s Electric Pickup Truck
or commonly annotated as Tesla Model P, which, after much speculation, buzz and anticipation,
was finally launched in November 2019. Elon had long been hyping the audience up
for the Cyber Truck, with its exciting specs and an intense suspense about its look and design.
For the out-of-the box streak of ideas that Elon has pulled so far through his futuristic companies
as well as the incredible progress Tesla alone, has shown over time, the Model P tesla truck was
much anticipated for its design and capabilities. Now well, talking about the design, many people
on the internet and tech observers had had been trying to predict the design of the Cyber Truck,
and many revered, and internationally known auto-mobile designers were hired to render a
unique and exciting design for this truck –something that was nothing like the ones
that already exist…. Tesla Model P
Among many renderings, Tesla Model P pickup truck,
rendered by a Turkish, professional Auto mobile designer named Emre Husmen caught attention,
for its futuristic looks, along with the infusion of resilience of the structure.
While elaborating the thought and process behind his design, he mentioned that the look
was inspired by the signature design language of Tesla Roadster, which is still in the pipeline.
However, the design is much more than just about making a unique statement
and infusing artistry. It also involves careful deliberation about practicality,
and how the inner assembly of battery packs and the interior would fit –precisely the way
it demands to be optimally sturdy and flexible. The model P, designed by Emre Husmen takes this
into account, as it proposes a single piece body design, without a separate back-bed –which is the
typically established design for pickup trucks. The single body design allows the body to much
more rigid, to support the Battery packs assembly beneath, and the interior space as
well. The rigidity of body is complemented with strong and independent suspensions,
which make sure that the body is able to handle rough treks, and maximize performance.
To make sure that it comes out to be the quickest truck in production,
an exterior aerodynamic design complements the goal of achieving high speeds in no time.
The final rendering: Tesla Cyber Truck The final version of Tesla model P,
named as the Tesla Cyber truck, which was launched in November 2019,
was nothing like the Model P rendered by Emre Husmen. The Cyber truck,
although does fulfil the criteria of giving a Sci-Fi look, yet many criticized it for
being too much like a Child’s drawing. The pointy, polygonal, clipped and cropped design,
inspired by cyberpunk, looked effortless, and to some, and even thought-less to others.
But the truth is, that this design meets all the requirements of function and resilience.
Like the Model P concept by Emre Husmen, this one is also a single body construction or
exoskeleton – as called by Tesla, instead of the standard body-on-frame construction,
used for traditional fuel based pick-up trucks. The exoskeleton has been constructed from
Ultra-hard 30 X cold rolled stainless-steel alloy, for durability and protection. The steel
alloy body survived a sledge hammer blow without a scratch in a demo, presented at its launch.
This is the same material that they used in making the exoskeleton for Space X’s Star-ship
space craft, and is dent resistant to incredible levels as well. The durability of exoskeleton
is continued through windows shielded with the Tesla Armor glass – made from ultra-strong glass,
reinforced with polymer-layered composite, making it more damage tolerant. By combination
of such exoskeleton and armor glass exterior, the Cyber truck is additionally bulletproof as well.
With the storage capacity of 100 cubic feet, and towing power of over 7500 pounds,
this truck is matchless. It can withstand a payload of over 3500 pounds at a time,
and accommodates 6 passenger seats inside. The powerful battery pack gives it a range
of over 250 miles on a single motor battery pack (though it is also available in up to tri-motor
battery pack variation as well), with maximum payload, and its adjustable air suspensions
make it easily adjustable to the terrain. The Cyber Truck rocks an acceleration rate of 60mph
in 6.5 seconds at a single battery pack. The two battery pack variant is expected to reach
an acceleration rate of 60mph per 4.5 seconds with a towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds.
The three battery variant of the truck shall be able to reach 60mph in 2.6 seconds, while wielding
a towing capacity of a staggering 14,000 pounds. The maximum range of the vehicle shall scope
between 250 miles at lowest for the single battery variant, and over 500 miles at best,
for the three battery variant. Unfortunately, the durability claims
of the Cyber Truck’s armor glass took a blow on the launching, Tesla has been working on further
modifications and improvements, to eliminate any shortcomings. The vehicles are expected to
be started sometime this year -- in 2021. Juxtaposing the exterior futuristic look,
top-notch performance: meant to traverse difficult terrains, flexible body, and being bulletproof,
along with powerful towing and payload capacities and ample storage space,
make it rather, a perfect representation of an attack resistant military ambush vehicle.
The estimated prices of these vehicles are to be ranging between 39,900 to 69,900 USD,
depending on variant you choose, and are expected to further decrease with time.
Perhaps the perfectionist agenda of Elon Musk: to provide greatest utility,
while cutting down on prices, and making sure that such futurism is accessible to everyone at
cheapest rates, and not just the elites and wealthy, is the secret of his success too!
Anyways, the actual practicality-durability test of the capabilities and incredible specs
of this spec-studded Cyber Truck is still to be performed after its distribution starts,
until then, the specs, and design are only hyping up for its performance!
