The 2023 Cybertruck Update Is Here! (Cyberboat + All New Features)

Mar 12, 2024

2023

will be the year of the Tesla cyber truck as one of the most anticipated and controversial automotive designs ever created finally hits production at Giga Texas and yes, I'm pretty sure we said pretty much the same thing about 2022 at some point. in the past, but we're pretty sure we're more correct than ever this time, which is still a low bar anyway, all signs point towards a Tesla cyber truck launching in

2023

and it's been a long time since In the original concept reveal event in 2019, a lot has changed with this electric truck since then and, mostly for the better, Elon Musk has said he wants to make the Cyber ​​truck a showcase for Tesla's cutting-edge technology, such as make a truck and a boat all in one, so let's talk about what it will look like and how the cyber truck will not only live up to its own expectations, but will also push the boundaries of vehicle design to a whole new level.

Let's take down some of the previously known elements. We're starting to get into the weird stuff, we can already tell that the original 2019 Cyber ​​Truck spec sheet is completely out the window. Tesla hasn't even listed it on its website in months, but Elon Musk has let us know that the top-tier cyber truck. It's going off script with four-wheel steering and four-motor all-wheel drive and these are very important

not only for the performance benefits they offer in extreme use cases like off-roading, but also to make this vehicle more accessible. for a wider range of drivers and we know that Elon Musk's main goal with his consumer products is to create things that people like, so making the product as easy to use as possible goes directly with that philosophy .

are a lot of guys who drive around in Ford F-350 trucks, but if you put the average driver behind the wheel of one of those things, they would probably rather put on pants than try to reach a parking spot. Four-wheel steering solves much of this problem, which is why GM put it on its Hummer EV. It is a huge vehicle platform similar to that of the Cyber ​​truck. I'm not sure exactly how they compare, but they look about the same size and with four wheels.

Steering at the wheel allows these monsters to achieve a turning radius similar to that of your average sedan or small SUV, or sometimes even better, it allows diagonal crab travel, so whether the Tesla is driven manually or drive itself, this will eliminate the need for awkward 3.4 point or even five point turns when navigating tight environments like parking lots or narrow streets, the truck will simply go w

ver you want it to go. The decision to upgrade to four-motor all-wheel drive points to the same goal we've already seen in these four. powertrain used by Rivien for its R1T, which is marketed as a weekend warrior adventure truck, something that's equally fun to drive in the city as it is in the mountains and a big part of keeping those weekend excursions fun towards the desert is to avoid getting stuck. or slide off the road and crash.

Both unfortunate events are made nearly impossible thanks to the Rivian's 4-motor independent all-wheel drive. I've never driven one, but it seems like a foolproof system as long as one of the wheels stays in contact. With the ground, the truck will go where you want it to go. We've seen the kind of traction and stability that Tesla is able to achieve with three motors in the new checkered vehicles. I think the fact that every Model S and that people love to drive and with confidence. In all scenarios and road conditions, driving ability or experience really doesn't matter as much when technology augments the experience as someone who lives in a place where the ground is covered in snow and ice for four months out of the year, for right, I can't imagine anything better if you're enjoying the content we create here in the Tesla space and would like to support us, check out our patreon page, we have some exclusive work for our patreon supporters and that helps.
Let's grow the team and keep producing this content, so here's the latest release from Elon: the Cyber ​​Truck will do double duty as a boat on September 29. Elon wrote on Twitter The Cybertruck will be waterproof enough to briefly serve as a boat and be able to cross rivers. lakes and even seas that are not too rough completely without being asked. I guess that occurred to him while he was rolling a two and then he went on to write "you need to be able to get from Starbase to South Padre Island" which requires crossing the channel, so it's a pretty wild claim, what we know for sure is that the Tesla vehicles handle water exceptionally well.
We have now seen many examples of them driving through extremely flooded roads and plowing through like tanks, while conventional vehicles end up literally dead. Much of this is because combustion vehicles have exhaust pipes and if they become blocked with water then CO2 cannot escape the engine and stops the combustion process. These floodwater performances have also shown that Tesla's battery pack and electronic architecture are waterproof. to the point where it won't short circuit even when submerged, but can a Tesla really float? It's all a matter of displacement whenever an object displaces a mass of water that is equal to or greater than the mass of the object that will float. and the Cyber ​​truck has the advantage of being very long and very wide, with a shape similar to a barge that we know is capable of floating a lot of mass, so it checks, but can it actually be the same?
Waterproof enough because if the water starts to leak? your object will increase mass and eventually that displacement equation will change and the object will sink at that point don't even bother trying to tell your insurance company what happened. You will be blacklisted from all life coverage. Elon wants his truck to sail. the water channel separating their Starbase rocket testing facility from nearby South Padre Island, this makes sense because South Padre is the closest populated area to Starbase, but as it stands, they have to drive around the water in a large circuit that takes a little time. less than an hour to drive if you cut straight across the 500 meter canal Elon could reach the city in just about 20 minutes Elon said he might consider an electric propeller on the trailer hitch to increase the Cyber ​​truck's marine speed or maybe come up with a wheel hub design that can generate significant thrust, whether the Cyber ​​truck can actually be waterproof or not has a lot to do with how they build the body and that's something that we are still learning.
We know that the plan for the Cyber ​​truck was always to implement an exoskeleton-based unibody design, this is pretty unique for any vehicle and is especially unique for a pickup truck. Most vehicles already have unibody construction, meaning that the upper part of the vehicle and the lower frame are integrated into a shared structural mass. the load that the car experiences and because that load is distributed over many parts, no part has to be particularly strong. The trucks are different. They use a body-on-frame design, so the body and frame are not integrated. The bodywork is simply dropped on top. the frame and bolted together and they do it primarily because pickup trucks must have a modular design.
There are many use cases for a pickup truck. A long bed with a two-door short cab. A four-door long cab with a short bed or even a long cab. Four doors with long bed truck beds should suit commercial applications such as a crane or a flatbed. Because of this, a truck's frame must be incredibly strong to hold its own in heavy-load situations like trailering. There are some unibody trucks, but they are more in the class of Rivian Weekend Warrior Adventure trucks and are not considered work trucks. suitable utilitarian. With the Cyber ​​truck, Tesla really wants to appeal to both sides, which is what the giant stainless steel body is designed to do. incredibly tough and resistant to legitimate heavy-duty situations, and the exoskeleton will allow the Cyber ​​truck to push the limit of a conventional body-on-frame design, even in a unibody design where the upper part of the body provides structure to the shell. exterior of the vehicle.
It's still just dead weight, the panels do nothing to carry the load, but the Cyber ​​truck has these big triangular shaped steel panels and even us non-engineers know that triangles have very strong shapes and Steel is a very strong material, making the exterior of the Cyber ​​truck. The casing can actually serve as a load-bearing part of the structure. By further distributing the weight across the body of the vehicle, this completely eliminates the need for a truck's typical heavy-duty underframe and even eliminates the need for much of the top frame. The body structure that you would find on a car reduces overall weight and greatly reduces design complexity, which in turn makes the truck cheaper and easier to manufacture.
In that same sense, we know that Tesla is implementing two of its cutting-edge designs. Technologies of the new model Y in the Cyber ​​truck, the structural battery pack and the Giga. The structural package uses large diameter steel-cased 4680 cylindrical battery cells sandwiched between two metal plates and filled with structural foam to create a solid brick in the center of the vehicle that does double duty as battery and frame. rigid because it has a metal box filled with metal cylinders squeezed together with a plastic foam that fills all the gaps inside the box, it's definitely waterproof and probably even bombproof, and Tesla is going to join that structural battery with two castings Solid Giga to complete the lower body frame.
Giga Casting means you can form liquid metal in a giant mold to create large sections of the vehicle in one piece, so the entire frame section in front of the battery will be a single cast and the entire frame behind the battery will be from a single casting in a conventional vehicle like the model and this means that both the front and the rear are formed with the same machine because they are more or less the same size which is a 6 000. one ton die casting machine , but looking at the Cyber ​​truck we can see that the front is quite short but the rear is very long and that is why Tesla had to order an even larger version of what was already the largest casting press of the world. 9,000 ton Giga Press that was recently completed by the Italian corporation idra.
They showed off the finished machine this summer and have already started shipping it to Tesla for final assembly in Texas. At least one batch of components for the new press has already arrived ashore in the United States and more should be on the way. These machines are huge, the size of a small house, and incorporate the melting furnace, press, and extraction all in one autonomous process, so it will take Tesla a while to achieve this. configured, tested and calibrated for action on the Cyber ​​truck production line, so here are two important things we know incredibly little about when these trucks will be in production and how much they will cost.
The tricky thing about Elon Musk is that he is almost always wrong when it comes to predicting schedules, he constantly runs a schedule that moves about twice as fast as actual human ability to achieve his goals, but all we can really do is report on what he claims to be true at any given time, so As it stands, the Cyber ​​Truck is said to go into production sometime in 2023 and probably closer to mid-year. I will tell you a little secret that Elon Musk could talk more about, but if we look at the facts, I can say that Elon is closer than ever to being right, for example, the factory where the Cyber ​​Giga Austin truck will be produced is actually in operation and produces Tesla vehicles at increasing volume levels, which was never the case when Elon manufactured any of them. his previous schedules, but now also the 9000 ton gigapress is complete and on track to be operational on the production floor, which was also never the case when Elon waspreparing delivery schedules.
If the press is necessary to make the truck, then they could never possibly have made the truck before the press, and third, Tesla is in production of its new 4680 battery cell, which is critical to making that package a reality. structural battery. They need large diameter cells to create the rigidity that the manufacturing of that particular battery did not achieve. It's off to a great start, but now the company has had a year to work on the process and seems to be doing pretty well ironing out the kinks. They still have another six months or so to get it done in time for Cyber. truck production, so it also doesn't seem that far-fetched as to how much this is all going to cost with four-wheel steering, four-motor drivetrain, ship-level waterproofing, and the massive effect of price inflation in the cost of goods.
It's definitely not going to be 69 Grand. I can guarantee you that. What do you think the final price of the Cyber ​​truck will be when orders finally open for real and how angry are you that the 100 refundable deposit wasn't locked? original price voice your complaints below Elon is watching just kidding he doesn't but we'll read them.
