Elon Musk Reveals Final Cybertruck Prototype Is Complete!

now we have news from Elon Musk himself that Tesla has

final

ized the design of its cyber truck and production will begin next year in Giga Texas. In reality, we could be nearing the end of the cyber truck saga, easily the most anticipated, discussed and speculated discussion. launch of a vehicle that has ever existed or probably ever will exist, it is impossible to imagine any other car from any other brand generating so much hype. Elon made the ugliest, most brutal looking vehicle possible and people either love it or hate it and it's that polarization that it seems.

Having kept this very relevant vehicle almost three years after its first introduction and before a single production unit has hit the road, everyone has an opinion on the cyber truck, no matter who they are, and luckily for us, here at YouTube there will still be opinions. There will be a lot to talk about for a long time because while Elon said the design was now

final

ized, he didn't say exactly what it would entail and we still have a lot of unanswered questions, so in today's video we're piecing together everything I think we know. about the Tesla Cyber ​​Truck and we try to shed some light on some things that we didn't get into.

In a recent interview with members of Tesla's owner Silicon Valley and the kilowatts, Elon Musk stated that the final design of the Cyber ​​Truck is surely closed, then Elon was a little contemplative and a little sad when he says that we got too carried away with The guys in the room, we ask characteristics and Elon just nods, I think that's it. Once they knew for sure that the truck would be delayed for at least another year, if not more, Tesla engineers took the opportunity to make some adjustments and improvements to the original blueprint, obviously taking inspiration from emerging trends in the electric truck market. , such as going from three motors to four and adding rear-wheel steering capability, these two modifications alone would have required a

rewrite of the electronics and subframe architecture after that, Elon laments that even if they had a finalized cyber truck ready to work last year, they couldn't In fact, I built it anyway because of the semiconductor shortage.

Elon said the chip shortage was so bad that even if we had, it wouldn't have mattered. You're just picking one pocket to pay for the other. Elon went on to say that Tesla even had to do it. stop making stationary storage products and starve their power line just to make cars, and they still couldn't make all the cars they wanted because there simply weren't enough chips available and this goes back to something

elon

said during the cyber rodeo in April that talked about how the complications of introducing a new vehicle would actually cause the total number of vehicles produced to decrease, so making

cybertruck

s would have reduced their ability to make Model Y and Model 3 vehicles and We know that the supply equation and demand for these cars is already very unbalanced.

Tesla can't make enough models right now. The waiting list is almost a year long, if not longer, if production volume really drops. it's going to be a disaster next

elon

says tesla went straight from being limited by chips to closing a factory in shanghai according to elon this not only affected vehicle production in shanghai but also limited production in california because they couldn't access manufactured parts in China elon said quote i' I'm not sure everyone realizes how serious the lockdowns were in China and it's not done yet, by the way, no major green light, but there are still bumps.

The next step is an interviewer asking Elon if he could estimate when the cyber truck will go into production and Elon very quickly. without hesitation he says I think the middle of next year about 12 months and then lastly, Elon says that he will be driving a cyber truck daily once it comes out, which will be a significant step up from his usual models. He also wanted to give a quick shout out to our amazing Discord community, here's our question of the week and this was our favorite answer and here's the meme of the week winner. Join our Discord community to participate next week via the link in the description below, so our next big question.

It would be if the design of the cyber truck is finished. Have we really seen the finished design? We've seen a few

prototype

s, some newer than others, but none of them look like a finished product. In fact, the

prototype

that seems most

complete

is still the first. which Tesla still features from time to time, was on display at the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition conference in New Orleans, so we know Tesla hasn't discontinued it yet. We also saw the latest updated prototype of the Cyber ​​Truck at Michigan International Speedway in mid-June, the most notable change to the updated prototype in its last sighting was the lack of a windshield wiper.

I never in my life expected that I would spend so much time talking about windshield wipers, but here we are. Anyway, the cyber truck has gone from having no wipers to having a comically oversized wiper to a comically small wiper and now we've come full circle back to no wipers. Someone please stop it, but here's the scoop, so we had initially thought that Elon Musk would come with some kind of laser-based window cleaning system, which sounds amazing, but then we got to thinking that it probably wouldn't be legal, reliable or even safe for the person sitting behind the windshield to have lasers firing directly. the direction of your eyeballs so we thought maybe there would be some kind of electromagnetic system with super low profile blades and then we saw that Tesla had just put together a giant monolithic wiper arm that looked ridiculous and led Elon Musk to address it on Twitter writing .

The windshield wiper is what worries me the most. There is no easy solution. The pop-up wiper that stows in front of the trunk would be ideal but complex, which begs the question: did the pop-up wiper make it into that final design? The only other iteration we've seen is this short one-shot. windshield wiper that somehow manages to look even more ridiculous than the long windshield wiper; wouldn't even reach the glass in front of the driver's face unless it's something extendable or deployable that folds out like a razor or something, I don't know, but that's Enough with the windshield wipers, we've also gotten a glimpse of a Cybertruck interior updated from these prototypes and this is actually one of the biggest deviations from the original design.

At first, the Cyber ​​Truck's interior appeared to have a simple Model 3 style dashboard. that was made of marble, it was like having a kitchen counter in your car, then Tesla said it was actually recycled paper that was compounded to look like marble, which was actually pretty cool, but what we're getting right now in The current prototype is basically just the interior of a model with sharper angles, so we can see that there is now an instrument cluster in front of the driver that was not present in the original version, but is there now and looks the same than the design of the Model S and X.

Pointier around the edges, we can also see the standard Tesla steering yoke. It has a big hole where the airbag should be and wires coming out of it, so I wouldn't invest too much in it. We can also see pedals that are very similar to the model again it is more pointy on the edges, there are some interesting things happening in the center section of the original cyber truck prototype. We could see a middle seat in the front row, this used to be a normal thing to see in pickup trucks, there isn't much these days, but Tesla seems committed to bringing it back in the new prototype.

There's a giant, clunky center console that looks like it could be folded down to reveal a center seat underneath, and there's clearly some space saved for legroom in the middle. a lot, but it looks like there's a little more room to open up there if Tesla decides they can refine that square box that's on the floor below the screen. It's too crazy to be real. Looks like one of those homemade subwoofer boxes that all the bros had in the trunk of their honda civic after the fast and the furious came out anyway, that's all we can deduce from looking at the prototypes, hopefully it was entertaining, al Least this is what we really want to know about the cyber truck, what's going on.

Underneath all the cosmetics, for example, what kind of engines will be included in the quad-engine design? Will they be the same carbon-wrapped high-performance motors from the checkered system? Sandy Monroe seems to think so during the teardown of the model when it was Examining the checkered motor, Sandy said he expects the cyber truck to use this same motor because it has significantly higher power output than the standard Tesla electric motor found in the model Y and the model 3. Now what about the battery pack? top tier cyber truck to achieve 500+ miles of range as originally claimed, it seems unlikely that elon has lost interest in making super long range battery packs, it's basically saying no one needs 400+ miles of range, so Why bother making them? sacrifices in vehicle design just to offer a useless feature and we have yet to see the 4680 battery cell really put to the test in a long range application, so far we have only seen that new cell placed in a small package, probably 50 kilowatt hours. in the model and with all-wheel drive, so we don't have much of a benchmark to say what it's capable of, then there's the electrical system, Tesla will move to a higher voltage on the company's first quarter earnings call.

Drew Beglino said that Tesla will not move the Model 3 and Model Y to a higher voltage because there would be no real advantage to doing so, at least not enough to offset the additional work and expense in redesigning the electronics, although Baglino said quote on larger vehicles you're talking about. higher power on the load side or higher power going from the battery to the power electronics or if you need more torque, the current requirements increase, there is a little more savings of actual semiconductors and conductors by going to the higher voltage, so we consider that for semi and cyber truck, so it's possible Tesla could move to an 800 volt architecture like Porsche and Audi are using right now.

Lucid also created a 900-volt system for its aerial sedan. The biggest advantage for the consumer in this would be greater speed. charging speed according to some very smart people in the comments section who know a lot more about electricity than I do, you can go up to 1500 volts while still using industry standard electronics, anything higher would require expensive custom parts, but Tesla could go up to the end. up to 1500 volts DC or 1000 volts AC if you want, so we'll see how that works, of course we know for sure that there won't be a finished build of the Cyber ​​Truck without that 9,000 ton gigapress machine from Idra that we've seen.

The world's largest die-casting machine will be on display at Idris' headquarters in Italy this month for an open house event that concluded a few days ago, so now that press will be deconstructed and trucked to a loaded port city on a boat that crossed the ocean and transported by truck to Austin. Texas has been rebuilt and then, and only then, can Tesla start building a real cyber truck, so if we can imagine the gigapress being up and running by the end of this year, then we'll put in six months of hard work getting tools and systems of production. up and running, it doesn't seem crazy to say that a very limited series of cyber truck deliveries could begin next summer, it's by far the closest we've come to a realistic timeline and while Elon could be wrong the most part of the time like a broken one.

You inevitably have to get it right sometimes and hopefully this is the one, but do you think we'll get real production of the Cyber ​​Truck next year and if so, how long will it take before the average pre-order is placed?
