Franz confirmed over 2 million reservations for the Cybertruck at $100 each, so that’s over $200 million USD
Moravy highlighted the necessity of the 48v architecture for powering the Cybertruck’s large wiper, noting its 4x power over standard 12v automotive batteries and safety in accidents.
The Cybertruck can wade through 2.5 feet of water, thanks to an air suspension compressor that pressurizes the battery pack with ‘Wade Mode’. The ‘Scuba Pack’ will pressurize the pack and forces air into sealed battery pack to keep any leak points or flood points from having water entering in (genius!)
The vehicle is pre-wired for 48v accessories, allowing for easy customization.
The onboard air compressor has a 17-liter tank, which is insufficient to fill tires (requiring 320 liters per tire), making it impractical for tire inflation.
A 48v wiring on the roof supports a powerful light bar that can illuminate up to 500 yards, equivalent to five football fields.
The Cybertruck’s design is advantageous for truck enthusiasts who enjoy customizing with accessories, as it simplifies wiring tasks.
Moravy humorously suggests the Cybertruck “almost floats” and could potentially be used with an outboard motor for added buoyancy.
The Cybertruck features a “Handling Balance” system, allowing 100% power distribution to either the rear or front wheels, facilitating drifting or donuts in both drive and reverse.
It is pre-wired for aftermarket 48v accessories, with a user interface that includes active switches for each power point, simplifying the addition of powered accessories for owners without electrical expertise.
Moravy says that Pepsi is aiding Tesla in longevity testing, and the Tesla Semi is slated for volume production in 2024.
Franz revealed to Leno that Tesla is developing home inductive wireless charging technology, confirming previous rumors
“I can’t think of one part that’s not made in America” says Moravy, speaking on Cybertruck’s all-american roots
