musk provided updates on the Cyber truck on May 16 during the 2023 annual shareholder
meeting later this year Tesla's planned battery electric light duty vehicle which was previewed
in 2019 is expected to begin manufacturing and so in today's episode we will check the official and
final specifications of the Cyber truck before its official release hello everyone welcome back

Tesla is finally prepared to compete in the most profitable auto market in the US the pickup
truck Market this year marks the beginning of production for the long-awaited Cyber truck which
was unveiled in 2019 to much excitement and with a broken window with its striking design and Cutting
Edge Technologies the Cyber truck is predicted to disrupt the electric pickup truck Market as well
as the entire established truck business when it debuts Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla has gradually
revealed information about the vehicle over the years since its public debut prior until now he
has stated that the Cyber truck will have rear wheel steering and the ability to serve briefly
as a boat although it's unknown how many of these claimed features will actually be included in the
finished product industry insiders have said it's always safe to assume Tesla will push
the limits of what their vehicles are capable of Ivan Drury a vehicle expert for the car shopping
website Edmonds remarked this is a vehicle that competes against everyone and nobody yet the
Cyber truck looks as it did at the debut that should be more than enough everything else from
technology and features is just icing on the cake the Cyber truck is expected to go on sale later
this year musk said earlier this week it will be the first entirely new product from Tesla in
three years and it will release at a crucial time for both the pickup truck industry as a
whole and Tesla when both are in urgent need of enthusiasm and fresh perspectives to combat the
rising perception that Tesla is turning into a fairly typical manufacturer Drury said this
is an imperative move for Tesla critics of Tesla have charged that the firm has lost its disruptive
luster in the past 12 months due to old designs discounts and incentives experts have remarked
that the Cyber truck's boxy futuristic look is unlike anything they have ever seen in the car
industry it's made to appeal to a very particular demographic of status Seekers including Gamers
I.T nerds and fans of 80s Cinema as well as any drivers looking to draw attention on the street
Mike Hummer did for SUVs in the 1990s Drury said making a crazy looking automobile for a
new market of buyers is similar having a tank-like design the Hummer was a huge impractical vehicle
that Rose to status as a result automakers might now continue to draw in enthusiasts and luxury
conscious customers to a formerly utilitarian SUV category according to Drury the Cyber truck will
be the Hummer of the 2020s people will be able to realize a new odd dream of what their vehicle
can be thanks to this car according to the car expert why the Cyber truck should be revered and
feared by rivals it would be extremely beneficial for the pickup truck business if Tesla were to
reinvent what a pickup vehicle could look like and who it could appeal to in order to satisfy
a very devoted customer base this lucrative business has always adhered to high standards
for appearance functionality and features Carl Brauer an executive analyst with IC cars claimed
that a disrupter like Tesla would be the only one to alter this strategy according to Brower this is
going to be a very disruptive moment for what is typically a very stable and conservative segment
of the automotive Market competitors should be very wary of that because this is going to be
Tesla's take on the pickup truck which is enough on its own in addition he claimed that Tesla is
expected to attract whole new truck purchasers drawing art and Tesla fans who have never owned
a pickup truck as well as flamboyant buyers who want to be seen driving a truck as distinctive
as the Cyber truck this is advantageous for Tesla in the short term because it secures
customers for this essential product but it is also advantageous for the truck Market as
a whole according to Brower shopping for a cyber truck May persuade a client who had never even
considered purchasing a truck to test drive or purchase an F-150 Lightning when the Cyber truck
strikes there will be a lot of reconsideration for people on these cars He predicted and let's
get into the details what is the Tesla cyber truck since Elon Musk announced the Tesla cyber truck on
stage about four years ago no cars or trucks have ever been seen driving on public roads
fair enough there was a pandemic that affected the entire world and there were severe supply
chain difficulties but it seems the manufacture is finally prepared for a late 2023 delivery while
Tesla has accepted hundreds of deposits it hasn't yet disclosed the truck's exact specifications or
Price nevertheless there have been enough leaks and spy photos of the vehicle for us to be able
to piece together a very accurate picture there is always a chance that something will change before
the truck is released but significant design changes so close to a launch would be incredibly
uncommon at first Tesla advertised the Cyber truck as a reasonably priced some forty thousand dollar
truck however that has now been altered Elon Musk the company's CEO acknowledged that the truck's
cost and configuration availability would change however he has not yet announced a new beginning
price the least expensive model will be the base single motor rear wheel drive model while the
tri-motor model will cost substantially more a unlike many other automakers Tesla chooses
to incorporate the majority of amenities in the standard price of their vehicles rather
than offering choices and packages but purchasers have the option to add two outrageously expensive
driver Aid packages which may increase the cost by as much as fifteen thousand dollars interior
a few spy photos and renders have leaked but we haven't seen a lot of the trucks inside the inside
is shown to be sparse with a big Center screen and an oval steering wheel while the vehicle
appears in some photos with Tesla's contentious yoke steering wheel The Firm will probably also
provide a conventional wheel for customers who want it Tesla has started to charge more for its
yoke option as we've lately witnessed the Cyber truck receives a glass canopy like other Tesla
models and relies entirely on its enormous Center screen for all driving functions including the
gear shift the roof features sharp lines where the two panels meet and the exterior's angular design
reflects a similarly angular inside the Cyber truck appears to suit the mold of the normally
premium but minimalist Interiors found in Tesla vehicles features such as the air conditioning
and heated seats are controlled using the screen and Tesla disguised the air vents behind internal
panels for a clean look the screen appears to be at least 17 inches if not larger which would
put it on Pace with the model S given that the majority of Teslas come in both light and dark
color schemes the truck will probably also provide inside color options it would be fascinating to
see how Tesla handles it with interior technology since despite providing excellent light for the
cabin the form of the glass roof appears to limit rear view with two bucket seats up front a middle
drop down seat and a bench in the back the Cyber truck can accommodate up to six people given
that it has four doors and a crew cab the inside sitting area should be roomy and the back seats
should be simple to reach clearly the cybertruck's exterior appearance is its most intriguing feature
the truck's whole exterior or exoskeleton is made of stainless steel the vehicle seems like it was
plucked right out of a polygonal universe and there doesn't seem to be a curve anywhere on its
body Tesla has faced manufacturing difficulties as a result of the design which has its share of
critics despite being original musk acknowledged that the initial prototype truck was overly large
during a test drive with Jay Leno and claimed that it was quite challenging to get the angles
of the glass panels just right we'll still receive windshield wipers and side view mirrors despite
lacking them in early pictures because the Cyber truck ultimately needs to comply with all U.S road
safety regulations while also looking weird performance given its track record with prior
EVS it's realistic to anticipate Tesla to deliver on its Promises of a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds
and a range of up to 500 Miles rear-wheel drive will be standard on the single motor model which
will probably accelerate to 60 MPH far more slowly than the enhanced tri-motor setup the Cyber truck
has adaptable air suspension and can carry up to 3 500 pounds of payload its floor will be supported
by large batteries that are positioned beneath it which will reduce its center of gravity and
increase handling and performance in comparison to a conventional gas pickup truck range a version of
the Cyber truck with an enhanced range of up to 500 miles will be offered although we don't know
the details of the base model it would make a Tesla's vehicle with the longest range to far
the truck will be able to use the automaker's supercharger Network though the automaker hasn't
disclosed particular charging information the network is more dependable than other public
charging systems even though some of it is now accessible to EV brands from other countries cargo
space the bed of the Tesla truck is said to have 100 cubic feet of room and the truck's sliding bed
cover has been depicted in numerous renders under the bed and in the sail panels are additional
outside storage spaces Additionally the truck has additional room and the space under the back seat
may be used for more storage safety although Tesla has not yet provided specifics about the Cyber
truck's safety features we anticipate that they will be comparable to those found in other models
the most cutting-edge systems including automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring are
probably going to be included with the truck as standard likewise Tesla's semi-autonomous
driving assistance functions will probably be available for an additional fee and there may be
special features for carrying and towing it will be interesting to see how the exoskeleton of the
truck which has been described by the automaker as being extremely hard translates to crash safety an
extremely stiff body would be dangerous for both the Tesla's occupants and other code users because
modern cars are built to crumple in an accident to absorb energy Towing and payload capacity the
maximum rating of the Cyber truck will be higher than that of well-liked substitutes like the Ram
1500 if it can haul as much as Tesla promise as it can although the single and dual motor Teslas
can to a maximum of 7 500 and 10 000 pounds respectively versions of a third motor will be
able to haul a staggering fourteen thousand pounds in its 6.5 foot cargo bed every cyber truck can
carry 3 500 pounds fuel efficiency and actual mpge we must base our judgment solely on Tesla's first
projections because there are no official ratings for the Cyber truck similarly we won't be able to
evaluate its grandiose maximum driving range until we put our hands on a genuine production vehicle
and now let's check some real fan reviews about the performance of the Cyber truck prototype
even though winter testing was completed by Tesla cyber truck fans were not satisfied all of the
Tesla cyber truck prototypes that we have seen so far have been either driving on city streets
or getting trapped in a field the electric truck may not have been put through actual cold or hot
climate testing but that doesn't mean it wasn't put through hell in those conditions without
providing any other information Tesla posted a photo of the Cyber truck traveling through
snow and stated only that it was Winter testing the vehicle even though the Cyber truck is the
most eye-catching Tesla Model we haven't seen any pictures of it being tested in inclement weather
testing during the winter is especially important for fine-tuning the drivetrain for slick weather
considering that the battery management system must make sure the battery performs properly in
freezing temperatures electric vehicles have additional reasons to travel to the Arctic
regions the Cyber truck should be tested in both hot and cold climates for a variety of reasons
however the Cyber truck was never visible in any images or videos Tesla released of their
vehicles conducting testing in the Arctic or the desert to fine tune the track mode with
the exception of when the truck traveled for the groundbreaking ceremony of Tesla's lithium
refinery in Corpus Christi Texas we haven't seen any prototypes of the Tesla cyber truck outside
of urban areas thus far it humiliated itself even then when it became bogged down in some
mud in a nearby Field why Tesla is not testing the electric pickup in more driving circumstances has
caused some people to question one explanation is that testing has not yet begun in Earnest for the
Cyber truck because it is still a long way from the delivery start another option is that Tesla
is conducting the necessary testing at a location hidden from inquisitive eyes EV manufacturer makes
this claim by publishing a photo of a cyber Truck moving through snow make of it what you will all
it says in the description is cyber truck winter testing the Tweet received a lot of attention
from Tesla supporters and it's clear from the comments that not all of them are satisfied
that Tesla is conducting adequate testing many asked to participate in the procedure especially
since they reside in the Northern Territories where bitterly harsh Winters are the norm
Tesla is known though to have a site in Alaska close to Delta Junction for testing in extremely
cold temperatures the developers can test the cars in a variety of situations thanks to the
large snow and ice surfaces at their disposal the ideal testing environment for winter is composed
of handling courses icy hills with different grades and a sizable skid pad the Alaskan facility
is the place to go if Tesla wants to Winter test the Cyber truck even though it doesn't say much
about the image and now let's fast check if the production floor for the Cyber truck is ready
for the commencement of production later this summer Tesla is preparing the Giga Texas cyber
truck assembly line the idra gigapress machines that would cast The Cyber trucks single piece Mega
castings appear to be the component that matters the most a single one has already been set up
in Austin and recent discoveries indicate that a second one will be shipped very soon as the first
automaker to use diecast components known as Mega castings to replace substantial portions of the
body of the vehicle Tesla megacasting eliminates the requirement for countless labor hours and the
countless metal components that must be joined by welding in the process of making a standard
automobile the structural battery pack and the side body stamps are joined to the mega castings
which is a faster method of assembly because it uses largely adhesives Mega castings were
initially used in an automobile the Tesla Model Y and will likely be followed by the Cyber truck
the mega castings appear to be simple yet they are nothing from done it takes enormous die
casting equipment known as gigapresses to produce such large automotive body pieces
the industry innovator in this area and Tesla's preferred supplier is an Italian business called
idra the EV manufacturer has plants all over the world that produce the model y using dozens of six
thousand ton gigapresses Tesla claimed that larger equipment was required to produce the Cyber truck
which is why Giga Austin was given permission to order 9000 ton gigapresses we have previous
episodes here stating that Tesla plans to install two 9 000 ton Giga presses for the Cyber truck
production idra shipped the first one to Austin in October of last year the second gigapress
should be installed much more quickly because this won't be the case given musk's fondness
for the number 420 it ought to be available by April 20 when Tesla is anticipated to announce
its first quarter Financial results sadly up until this point we had not heard any new information
die casting the larger cyber truck components such as the rear single piece Mega casting and the
truck's bed requires the 9000 ton gigapresses for the front Mega casting Tesla will probably employ
smaller units also according to a recent Source Tesla will use a novel manufacturing technique
called hydroforming to stamp the body panels for the exoskeleton Promises of new products
musk expressed his anticipation for two new products that I think you will be very excited
about but he didn't elaborate Beyond saying that the product's manufacturing and design processes
are Head and Shoulders above anything else in the industry musk also said we are already building
a new product and he expressed his guess that these two models will sell 5 million units a year
Tesla commercials several news pieces emerged from a two-way adoration question and answer session
including the possibility that Tesla May begin to pay for advertising Tesla has been paying people
to promote its automobiles for years through a referral program and musk has pushed messages that
seem like advertisements on social media however neither mainstream print nor digital advertising
has been used by the company he concurred with a fan who remarked that more people ought to be
aware of Tesla's features and costs by saying in Austin we'll attempt a little advertising
and see how it goes the manufacturer responding to difficult times may also be indicated by the start
of advertising Tesla is not immune to the current state of the world economy according to musk I
anticipate that things will be challenging for at least the next 12 months on a macro economic level
