Tesla is making headlines with its Cybertruck, claiming it will be the only pickup truck under 19 feet long with four doors and a bed exceeding six feet in length. The company has recently shared that it is now constructing and testing final pre-production Cybertruck units at its Texas Gigafactory. This announcement comes after an earlier image suggested the start of limited production, but it appears that the factory is still in the preparatory stages.
The Cybertruck is set to challenge competitors like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Rivian R1S, boasting a bed longer than those of both models. Although exact measurements were not disclosed, Tesla emphasizes that the Cybertruck will offer a superior bed length, an advantage that could appeal to customers needing more cargo space. Additionally, Tesla is progressing on a new platform aimed at producing a more affordable electric vehicle in the future.
The latest images released showcase the Cybertruck undergoing various tests and assembly processes. One notable detail from the images is the single windshield wiper, which may have limited coverage for the passenger side, potentially impacting visibility during heavy rain. Tesla’s commitment to pushing the envelope in vehicle design and technology is evident as they prepare for the Cybertruck’s official production launch.
