After watching this video, some netizens said that this picture looks like Tesla is advertising for Cybertruck.。

Tesla reveals dimensions of its long-delayed CyberTruck in second-quarter earnings。It is reported that Cybertruck will have four doors and will be less than 19 feet in length (about 5.8 meters), the length of the underbody exceeds 6 feet (approximately 1.8 meters), not much different from Ford's best-selling F-150 Lighting, which is 19 long.25 feet (about 5.9 meters), underbody length 5.5 feet (about 1.7 m)。

Pickups of this type of car have been evolving in recent years to meet consumer demand for lifestyle cars with larger and more luxurious features。According to Axios, Ford's first-generation F-150 had 36% cabs and 64% beds; now this ratio has reversed, with 63% cabs and 37% beds for the latest 2021 model。Tesla tries to distinguish the design of the CyberTruck from Ford's best-selling F-150。

Musk said on the Q2 earnings call: "One of the elements of good design is that it should feel bigger inside than it looks outside.。He added that increasingly bloated pickups are becoming a bigger problem for homeowners with 20-foot-long garages that CyberTruck can fit right into.。

In addition to the size, the CyberTruck's shape design is not quite the same as a traditional pickup truck。The reason for the unconventional design is that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has always wanted to build something that is described in science fiction movies as the end of the world, rather than a truck that already exists in the real world, which has led to the appearance of CyberTruck.。Moreover, the Cyber in CyberTruck is taken from the first half of Cyberpunk (Cyberpunk), and the name of the truck shows Musk's "expectations" for it.。

CyberTruck

Musk recently said: "We continue to produce CyberTruck candidates on the last production line in Austin.。Tesla claimed that CyberTruck has adopted "many new technologies" that will "break down many boundaries" in terms of technology and architecture.。

Tesla is currently conducting "final certification and validation" testing of CyberTruck vehicles worldwide。Tesla announced last month that the first mass-produced CyberTruck had rolled off the production line at its GigaFactory in Texas.。

Musk also confirmed that the pickup truck will start production this year and will enter large-scale production in 2024.。This point in time has been delayed from previous Musk forecasts, a year ago Musk expected to start deliveries by the middle of this year, but now the company says it will start deliveries later this year.。

CyberTruck debuted in 2019, and it has been four years since then, when Tesla expected the pickup to be produced and delivered in 2021, but it turned out to be a push-and-push, and Tesla was a "slap in the face" of its own timetable, which also made CyberTruck Tesla's "king dove."。Earlier this year, it was revealed that Tesla had been having trouble getting CyberTruck into production.。In addition, according to internal documents from Tesla, CyberTruck has had problems since the Alpha prototype, including defects in braking, body sealing and suspension。

CyberTruck's current version is slightly smaller than the original prototype.。In 2020, Musk joked that a smaller version of CyberTruck may be launched in the European market, but it is not known how many versions CyberTruck will have.。In addition, the cost of putting CyberTruck's stainless steel body into mass production is very high, which is one of the reasons for its push and push.。
