Following a detailed analysis of Tesla’s Cybertruck, a surprising element was brought to light. Its battery pack is half empty. This detail reveals an unexpected facet of this electric vehicle, which on paper, is revolutionary.
THE Tesla Cybertruck, with its futuristic look, has always promised to redefine sustainability standards in the automotive industry. As demonstrated by a recent accident involving it against a Dodge Ram, this promise seems to be coming true. During this collision, the electric pickup exhibited a impressive resistance. It suffered only minor damage, while the Ram was left severely damaged.
Thanks to this type of demonstration, the Cybertruck continues to fascinate. A feeling even more shared when he underwent an “autopsy” by engineering experts. This careful disassembly revealed innovations, such as the use of giga-castings which improve the solidity of the vehicle. But a new one analysis of his insides has just revealed a unexpected detail and somewhat worrying.
Tesla chief engineer confirms Cybertruck battery packs are half empty
One of the most intriguing aspects of the Cybertruck revealed by its disassembly is its battery pack, the use of which seems paradoxical. Indeed, although it has a capacity of 123 kWh, which is relatively modest for a vehicle of this size, the space allocated to this battery pack suggests a much greater capacity. When opening the latter, we can realize that it is almost empty. This discovery was confirmed by the chief engineer of the electric pickup. Reactions to
The unusual configuration of this battery pack opens the door to multiple interpretations. Some see the possibility of a future capacity increasewhile others speculate on considerations of cost or production. But to this day, this design choice by Tesla has sparked a lot of criticism within the community of automotive technology enthusiasts. And for the moment, the manufacturer’s exact motivations remain shrouded in mystery.
