The stainless steel was not the problem. The problem was when they went 48v every part that had anything to do with electricity had to be custom designed and tested out. 1000s of parts... everything available is 12v they need 10000 of 1000s of pieces in 48v every week in order to meet capacity. They are hoping to be at 1000 a week by the beginning of 25'

Tesla actually makes or contracts someone to make many of those parts you are talking about. They design say the window motor controller or power seat controller.. This just means instead of getting in 48v, they design those parts to accept 48v.

As a mechanical engineer, I have to say a lot of things about the cyber truck seem odd. Like the design decisions seems like it would make things harder for them, while not really having a practical benefit. But I mean... I guess?
@@variblex Another mechanical engineer here, and its pretty obvious... - Air-flow (thus energy efficiency) and vibrations when driving fast - Lack of absorption of impact energy in the case of an accident for the driver as for others (esp. more deadly to pedestrians than other trucks) - Excessive weight (higher energy consumption) - Poor light reflection behaviour (both in terms of design and road safety, keyword glare, an important issue for serious car manufacturers) - Poor dripping behaviour / water flow in the rain ... and i didn't mention any material/techological choices yet...
@@moru3236 Those are design features which car decided to have. Like being a big truck leads to high weight. What you do is merely describing vehicle for things it was not optimized for.
I wonder how safe this is? If you market hard materials etc, doesn't that mean that the crumble zones are tougher to design? Cars today are designed to break in a predictable way and they need weak points. I would like to see crash test videos.
Check out the crash tests done on the CT! This is the safest automobile ever made - for not just for the occupants but also anyone outside who has the misfortune to get hit by a CT !!!
The problem is people don't earn 50% or so more now. And the interest rates are much higher now, too. This means you'd either have less money for everything else or buy a cheaper car.
@@ContraVsGigithat's always been the problem right? Can one afford something or not. However, it's not one manufacturer's fault for pricing it's product to market value. Not to mention all the new tech and efforts Tesla implemented in the cybertruck. Whether one likes the design is another topic, but for their dedication to innovation, I think the pricing for cybertruck is well deserved.
@@IronCan88 The market pricing is now stopping people from buying EVs. If they were 10k-20k cheaper, makers would not complain now about their growing stocks.
@@ContraVsGigi cybertruck 's bottleneck is in the production, though. So there is no reason to reduce price at this point. I put in my order for the truck motor early on, so while I also wish for a lower price, I understand market, and as a company you want to get as much profit as you can, so I don't blame Tesla for charging a premium for unicorn car like Cybertruck.there will be no over-inventory issue for cybertruck for a long time.
The ramp - I predict it will go great. They have learned from past ramp ups. And they have said this time and again - “the hardest part is making the machine that makes the machine”. So the hardest part was just making the machines that make the Cybertruck. That part is mostly done.
Prototypes are easy, production is hard, and volume production is harder still. They've entered production, but not volume production yet, that is the hardest part.
@@iCozzh I know what it means, it's the same as people using ramp up. It seems anything Elon says everyone is using the same terminology. Are you a Tesla, Elon fan.
Thank you CNBC for doing a comprehensive piece on the issues of actually building this crazy new-look design of a vehicle. Good context. It is clear there are big challenges, so it will be up to Tesla to demonstrate what sort of a car company they are to make a few, or a lot, of these stainless steel body trucks. Definitely is an interesting truck. And will be interesting to see what this will all be like in production, and how long they hold up, and whether the price can come down over the next few years.
he's saying that "experts were saying it was impossible" as if he created a flying car than ran on solar power. He created a boxy electric truck that costs 100k
I havent even watched the video, but working in the auto manufacturing industry, any new tech is hard to manufacture, in general manufacturing is hard, you got quality control, training, uncertainty in suppliers, sometimes they go out of business or back out of the project, you got the unkowns that comes with new manufacturing. Theres 1000s of more i could include..
Mass production is very difficult especially with new innovation. Cybertruck with its cold formed stainless exoskeleton, 48v low voltage, 800v high volt system, drive by wire, 4680 tabless DRY CELL battery, smaller/lighter battery vs competitive, etc. Tesla offers the fastest production lines. Dry cell battery allow even less machines as no toxic black slurry/baking and mixing step. Big 3 sales mainly big trucks and suvs vs Tesla mainly sedans and small model Y suv. Cybertruck is a small niche for Tesla where they can test the newest future tech especially batteries. Tesla is an energy company besides motor where car batteries made grid storage batteries competitive. Tesla diversified batteries with 18650, 2170, 4680, and LFP( lithium IRON) Tesla’s production lines as Henry Fords 2.0 version. Tesla designs own software, chips, and hardware. Space X metals for car. SOTA and FOTA OTA with DOJO computer. Huge buildings full of full sell driving servers. Tesla building larger supercharger stations to charge trucks larger battery faster. All the above make the Cybertruck expensive to build. Plus Tesla is a new car company starting from scratch. Made in America. Finally USA is leading vs European auto industry. 1970 oil embargo Japanese fuel sippers vs Detroit muscle cars. History repeats itself but this time EV’s vs gas cars. China is ahead but USA narrowing the gap. Stellantis bought shares Chinese EV company to rebadge EV’s to sell in Europe. China and Europe ahead USA solar, EV’s working on climate change.

the tech for this is amazing. 48V, steer by wire, close to bullet proof, if there is a crash - I'd rather be inside that truck... looks expensive UNTIL you start getting something similar cost with Ford, Rivian and I will get way more compared to others
Nice to see someone that has the balls to attack this design. Absolutely amazing. Cant wait to drive one. Once they perfect this product they will be able to do anything.
The only argument id agree with is that successfully ramping all the new technologies simultaneously will be hard but then again that's exactly Tesla's whole existence , that's all it's been doing successfully. Since I can't agree with anything else, I'll just be leaving a like for putting in Sawyer Merritt really really much much actual news and shoving no narrative down our throats
- Elon Musk introduces the Cybertruck (0:16) - The truck's stainless steel exoskeleton is a manufacturing challenge (1:03) - Design driven by material properties (2:11) - Skepticism over its aggressive design (2:42) - Production delays and challenges (3:58) - Introduction of a unique airbending manufacturing process (7:26) - Tesla's gigacasting technique may be employed in Cybertruck's construction (9:47) - Battery cell production could limit Cybertruck's output (11:44)
Tesla previous claimed not going to 800 volt because of the market wasn't ready for mass production. Meanwhile the Cybertruck also has mass market challanges with steer-by-wire, 48 volt architecture, ethernet-loop and their own battery cells. These are the challenges Elon Musk was talking about, not just it's stainless steel exoskelton.
For any company to have the guts to break the mould and do something revolutionary they need a visionary leader who is also a hands-on engineer. And very few companies have been that fortunate
A Belgian company called Aperam makes the steel chassis of the Cybertruck. Apparently Tesla couldn't find any American company that could meet Tesla's needs when it comes to rust resistance and strength. :) I knew Aperam was a company that was very skilled in this area but I didn't realise they were this good because it does seem super difficult.
@@orkun171it's a pain in the ass material 100% and it's heavy. I don't understand the self-imposed engineering nightmare like it's some kind of feature people are demanding.
@@johntheux9238it's all dependent on chromium and nickel content. There aren't that many stainless varieties so I don't understand the fuss about it at all. BEV seem to catch fire when wet so why are we so focused on corrosion resistance?
But like, why is that necessary though? It just makes it heavy and, based on basic physics I would assume, it doesn't absorb energy that well. I mean if people wanted a tank I get it, but I can't fathom why. The weight alone seems problematic for an EV.
I love how everyone goes to the things they can see, but nearly always it’s the things you can’t see that are the differentiators and the hardest problems
eh, just wait a few years. they'll build out charging infrastructure and also you'll eventually be able to buy a used one for way less. both problems will be solved by time
that's the point, the cool factor not the partiality of. If you want practicality in a EV, by an brad that's been making car for 100 year and know the ends and outs from generations of experience.
Electric cars are fairly inexpensive. I wouldn't buy one if you don't have a garage or aren't in a position to charge at home. I wake up every morning to a "full tank" so to speak. You only really need charging infrastructure for road trips or if you routinely drive more than 200 miles a day in town.
@@kungfoochicken08 Fairly inexpensive, lol what?. The average c0st of an EV is around 55K. Not to mention the costly repairs, unrecyclable batteries, insane insurance costs and so on.
The cyber truck glass is probably the hardest thing to manufacture It doesnt require painting nor stamping metal like the model y So it should be easier to make
@@sc1338 My understanding is that they have a solution for that - using only folds rather than curves (on most panels, at least), and scoring the folds to make it easier to work with. The hood and frontmost panel do seem to be curved, though.
The biggest issue is going to be making sure the panels align correctly. The way the truck is currently designed, the panels come together at very specific points so they have very little margin for error. This means they have to be manufactured correctly every time or any misalignment is going to be so obvious.
Lots of contractors will love to have a 6 foot locked bed to store their tools and 120 and 240 volt outlets to run their tools. The downside is that you can reach over the side of the bed, and have to access it from the back side. Also, its operating costs are a 1/4 per mile compared to a conventional ICE pickup, and maintenance of EVs is extremely low because they don't have many moving parts that wear out and don't require oil changes. The fact that the body is very difficult to scratch or dent on a worksite is another great benefit. The Cybertruck makes a lot of sense as a long term investment for businesses, although I suspect that many will wait a few years to see if customers report problems with model. For small businesses, the Cybertruck is also a great place to put the advertising for their business, since it catches so much attention, although that would require an expensive wrap. I see a lot more positives than negatives for a contractor, although I think that most contractors will wait for the single motor model which is probably 2 or 3 years into the future, since they don't need the performance or extra cost of the 2 and 3 motor models.
@@amosbatto3051It can be lowered all the way down to 5” of ground clearance. (It has 12” of dynamic suspension travel). Even with the sloped sides at its lowest setting it should still be pretty easy to access the bed from the sides.

Keep in mind the prices will drop once the production gets to full ramp. They will only be priced higher to start because of low production and high demand.
This thing is bold and that is GREAT!!! Give it a little time, they will perfect it. There is room for all types of propulsion systems, gas, electric, etc. I haven’t driven one but seen it at Teslas Upland CA Center. It is amazing in person.

Expensive No Crumple Zones, Stainless steel once dented/bent will not ho back to shape and if you try snaps it's a death trap For safety It relies solely on the Air Bags and Seat Belts for Safety again no Crumple Zones (Front Rear or Sides!)
How much extra does it cost to get a cyber truck that makes it past five minutes without the red screen of death? Also is a little bit of adhesive to hold down the gas pedal extra or do I just hot glue it on myself?
I drive a Honda Element and obviously don't care how a vehicle looks. I only care about reliability and functionality for what the vehicle was built for.So I'm really curious how this will work out for Tesla and what's next and will it change other manufacturers to question what people really want.Most likely i will never get a cyber truck but really want them to succeed.
Mechanicability and fitness for purpose, seems like this never came up. wondering what it weighs and what the payload capacity is. Why four doors if there’s no head room in the back? The bed is what, four feet?
The looks may not be the best but it's understandable given the materials they are using. It's probably worth it though, a stainless steel shell is a nice feature
There is a lot in this video about why the stainless steel manufacturing is difficult but nothing about WHY it is worth going down this road in the first place. What is the advantage, real or perceived?
Stainless steel is a great material in terms of strength and corrosion resistance. I'd say the disadvantages are difficulty in forming complex shapes and the cost versus steel or aluminium.
Like many of the comments here, if you Strongly Dislike Elon Musk (ie. CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC CBS, NPR, Washington Post, NYT, etc..) why would you say anything positive...no matter True or Not? No one has a clue if this will sell well or not, but for many, that's not even the point...they dislike Musk and that's all that counts.
@@mboikothe cubertruck got 2.1M reservations before delivery, I guess at most 1.5M will go through the order, afterwards, there are many that want the cybertruck, Tesla fans, truckers that don't care how it looks but need what it can offer and rich people for showing off.
The upside is that the body of the truck is impervious to everyday wear. Door dings, shopping carts, hand tools, car keys, ect, have a negligible effect on it. Even if you do manage to scratch it, it won't rust unlike painted regular steel. A benefit, to Tesla, is that they won't spend any money, time, or space painting it. It is the toughest truck normal people can buy, If you define "normal" as $80k, anyways.
It’s not hard to manufacture anymore now that they have their newly invented production tools and knowledge in place. Tesla is so ahead of their time. I can’t wait to own a cybertruck!
Okay so crazy thing, I actually talked with someone from the Tesla gigafactory. He's a software engineer. Anyhow, a couple of things to note. According to him, everything is pretty cluttered and disorganized. Because you know, they're having to do some irregular things. It’s also worth noting the weird speed limits on the campus. Like, 24? Why not 25?! And to top it off, he said he wouldn't get a Cybertruck, simply because its not his style. Which says a lot considering I met him through Lyft. And when I dropped him off, I had no idea where to drop him off. Supposedly there's supposed to be a tent where they were supposed to meet, in a parking lot. All that was there was a bus stop from the Soviet Union. Like, I know there's a lot of kooky stuff going on, but you'd think telling a software engineer where to go so he's not wandering like a goober would be solved.
Elon starts off the delivery event with - Experts said making the cybertruck was impossible but here are the deliveries of the first cybertrucks. Then CNBC interviews the same experts. Let’s check back in 2025… Whatever happened to the production ramp of the hummer ev or ford lightning?
The stock will probbaly only 40x to 2030 due to the challenges, $10k is a reasonable target once the PE for the cars go down and other rev streams take over.
They are barely making 4 dollars per share which is peanuts compared to the price now. With more factories coming on and over production the prices will have to come down to move volume and lower margins in the future and possible losses. The arabs kept producing more an more oil and I laughed and watched it got to zero and now they have learned. Tesla can be more profitable with less volume and higher margins. The current target is 150 at Bernstein and I have a 100 to 150 target. It fell 75% before and I remember buying some at 102.
Love him or hate him, him and his products, Elon is almost single-handedly forcing the automotive industry to grow in ways it never would have without him. Still unsure I'd ever buy a Tesla, but I'm happy he's in the game and has plenty of people who can enjoy his stuff. I may just be a Mazda/Honda/Toyota lifer, but if my favourite Japanese brands can take a page or three out of the Tesla book, I'll be grateful for it.
But that's actually not a good thing. Automotive industry should downsize, good quality public transports and trains and walkable cities should be the solution.
@@tamasv9825 I don't think one should be confused with the other. A very mature and competitive automotive industry is a good thing; the supply chain in place is a machine in itself and the ever-improving quality, safety and price of our cars are a consequence. That said, government subsidies shouldn't be so heavily invested in the automotive industry (that I agree with) and a practical public transit system shouldn't just be a target; it should be a necessity. Walkable cities should be the way of life and it isn't. But even in those futures, cars will always be around and Elon had helped the automotive industry get to a place it wouldn't be without him.
This one was poorly researched. This video just parrots the common talking points. Actually videos from the launch event show clearly the cybertruck is manufactured as a conventional unibody using basically the same architecture as the structural pack version of Model Y. The stainless panels have only straight press braked lines and they are hung on the conventional unibody.
Yes I'm pretty sure this grade of stainless isn't that tough or novel. But of course Musk never learned the key part of manufacturing cars. Reusability of equipment and sharing common parts.
Tesla's shares many common parts, lots of parts from de model s and y are shared, they share as many parts as they can from other models, but, new products will inevitable create parts that won't be shared, like the cubertruck.
@@briankearn6991 there will always be haters, but building a mass market EV, self landing rocket, Cybertruck exoskeleton, Neuralink etc It's VERY impressive
No one said it was impossible. Any company can push out a failed prototype. What people said was impossible as to manufacture a $40K EV truck with 500miles of range. And Tesla fell short in every promise they did...
I'm super excited to see American companies investing different products and pushing the limits of manufacturing. This is great for industry and the staff which placed this greatness of engineering.
Say what you will about Elon, but this guy can pump out reusable rockets that no one else has yet to achieve. If anyone is capable of doing this, it would be one of his companies.

@@variblex Another mechanical engineer here, and its pretty obvious...
- Air-flow (thus energy efficiency) and vibrations when driving fast
- Lack of absorption of impact energy in the case of an accident for the driver as for others (esp. more deadly to pedestrians than other trucks)
- Excessive weight (higher energy consumption)
- Poor light reflection behaviour (both in terms of design and road safety, keyword glare, an important issue for serious car manufacturers)
- Poor dripping behaviour / water flow in the rain
...
and i didn't mention any material/techological choices yet...
@@moru3236 Those are design features which car decided to have. Like being a big truck leads to high weight. What you do is merely describing vehicle for things it was not optimized for.
So Tesla learned air bending to protect themselves against the fire nation 😮
I wonder how safe this is? If you market hard materials etc, doesn't that mean that the crumble zones are tougher to design? Cars today are designed to break in a predictable way and they need weak points. I would like to see crash test videos.
It's still only 1.8mm thick so it can bend. They can adjust the way it will buckle by adjusting where they put stiffeners.
Check out the crash tests done on the CT! This is the safest automobile ever made - for not just for the occupants but also anyone outside who has the misfortune to get hit by a CT !!!
Tesla routinely breaks safety tests with how safe their cars are. I'm sure they've figured this one out.
@tapio 🤡…. Tesla make the worlds safest vehicles
Safe for whom? For the Cybertruck occupants, yes. For everyone and everything else, its a deadly machine.
Let’s be fair I bought a Ford F150 for 38k in 2018 today my 2023 F150 was 72K. CNBC can we agree EVERYTHING is much MORE expensive than 2019??😂
The problem is people don't earn 50% or so more now. And the interest rates are much higher now, too. This means you'd either have less money for everything else or buy a cheaper car.
@@ContraVsGigithat's always been the problem right? Can one afford something or not. However, it's not one manufacturer's fault for pricing it's product to market value. Not to mention all the new tech and efforts Tesla implemented in the cybertruck. Whether one likes the design is another topic, but for their dedication to innovation, I think the pricing for cybertruck is well deserved.
@@IronCan88 The market pricing is now stopping people from buying EVs. If they were 10k-20k cheaper, makers would not complain now about their growing stocks.
@@ContraVsGigi cybertruck 's bottleneck is in the production, though. So there is no reason to reduce price at this point. I put in my order for the truck motor early on, so while I also wish for a lower price, I understand market, and as a company you want to get as much profit as you can, so I don't blame Tesla for charging a premium for unicorn car like Cybertruck.there will be no over-inventory issue for cybertruck for a long time.
@@IronCan88 I was not talking about CT, but almost all the others. CT is a different animal, bring what it is, yhose who want it will buy it anyways.
The final thickness of the steel is 1.8 mm so not 3 mm as was originally stated.
If it was 3 mm then it would have zero crumple zones and be too unsafe even for US roads.
Pretty sure that’s NOT the only lie told when hyping this monstrosity
love the t shirt in reference to the window accident last time lmao.
Thank you for going deep into technical details that have not been discussed in other - mainly -videos.
The ramp - I predict it will go great. They have learned from past ramp ups. And they have said this time and again - “the hardest part is making the machine that makes the machine”. So the hardest part was just making the machines that make the Cybertruck. That part is mostly done.
It will ramp very slowly in the first year and then accelerate exponentially is my prediction. I predict a 300k annual run rate in 2 years time.
Prototypes are easy, production is hard, and volume production is harder still. They've entered production, but not volume production yet, that is the hardest part.
@@iCozzh why use the word, exponentially. its like Elon fans use these stupid words all the time to copy him
@@Supraboyes because exponential means starts very slow and rapidly accelerating..

Thank you CNBC for doing a comprehensive piece on the issues of actually building this crazy new-look design of a vehicle. Good context. It is clear there are big challenges, so it will be up to Tesla to demonstrate what sort of a car company they are to make a few, or a lot, of these stainless steel body trucks. Definitely is an interesting truck. And will be interesting to see what this will all be like in production, and how long they hold up, and whether the price can come down over the next few years.
I agree that it will be interesting to see if, despite economies of scale, Cybertruck prices will remain the same due to high demand.

I havent even watched the video, but working in the auto manufacturing industry, any new tech is hard to manufacture, in general manufacturing is hard, you got quality control, training, uncertainty in suppliers, sometimes they go out of business or back out of the project, you got the unkowns that comes with new manufacturing. Theres 1000s of more i could include..
WOW! CNBS finally don't sound biased over Tesla.
Mass production is very difficult especially with new innovation. Cybertruck with its cold formed stainless exoskeleton, 48v low voltage, 800v high volt system, drive by wire, 4680 tabless DRY CELL battery, smaller/lighter battery vs competitive, etc. Tesla offers the fastest production lines. Dry cell battery allow even less machines as no toxic black slurry/baking and mixing step. Big 3 sales mainly big trucks and suvs vs Tesla mainly sedans and small model Y suv. Cybertruck is a small niche for Tesla where they can test the newest future tech especially batteries. Tesla is an energy company besides motor where car batteries made grid storage batteries competitive. Tesla diversified batteries with 18650, 2170, 4680, and LFP( lithium IRON) Tesla’s production lines as Henry Fords 2.0 version. Tesla designs own software, chips, and hardware. Space X metals for car. SOTA and FOTA OTA with DOJO computer. Huge buildings full of full sell driving servers. Tesla building larger supercharger stations to charge trucks larger battery faster. All the above make the Cybertruck expensive to build. Plus Tesla is a new car company starting from scratch. Made in America. Finally USA is leading vs European auto industry. 1970 oil embargo Japanese fuel sippers vs Detroit muscle cars. History repeats itself but this time EV’s vs gas cars. China is ahead but USA narrowing the gap. Stellantis bought shares Chinese EV company to rebadge EV’s to sell in Europe. China and Europe ahead USA solar, EV’s working on climate change.
Elon bullied as kid now bullied by naysayers. Glad Space X, Tesla energy, Tesla Motors, Starlink, Borimg company and neurolink are USA companies.

Can't wait to get my cybertruck!
A Belgian company called Aperam makes the steel chassis of the Cybertruck. Apparently Tesla couldn't find any American company that could meet Tesla's needs when it comes to rust resistance and strength. :) I knew Aperam was a company that was very skilled in this area but I didn't realise they were this good because it does seem super difficult.
Stainless mills cannot produce different qualities with persistent quantities.Also quality control is very hard in stainless steel
Not all stainless steel alloys are really stainless. Some are just rust resistant.
@@orkun171it's a pain in the ass material 100% and it's heavy. I don't understand the self-imposed engineering nightmare like it's some kind of feature people are demanding.
@@johntheux9238it's all dependent on chromium and nickel content. There aren't that many stainless varieties so I don't understand the fuss about it at all. BEV seem to catch fire when wet so why are we so focused on corrosion resistance?
@@scottleggejr there are a lot of minerals in a steel alloy that needs to be fine tuned and produced cheaply.Also nobody should die or lose a limb
The fact that its small arms bulletproof is enough for many people to buy
I'm going to buy one just so I can fly a Confederate flag through Detroit.
Yeah I prefer to live in country where bullet proof kids backpacks aren't necessary.
But like, why is that necessary though? It just makes it heavy and, based on basic physics I would assume, it doesn't absorb energy that well. I mean if people wanted a tank I get it, but I can't fathom why. The weight alone seems problematic for an EV.
It says a lot about America.
That would be very useful in certain areas of the city.
I love how everyone goes to the things they can see, but nearly always it’s the things you can’t see that are the differentiators and the hardest problems
This is the most balanced Tesla report I’ve seen from CNBC
I could never afford one of these, and there's no charging infrastructure within 20 miles of me...but I'd love to have one. I think it looks neat.
eh, just wait a few years. they'll build out charging infrastructure and also you'll eventually be able to buy a used one for way less. both problems will be solved by time
You'll be able to get one with a dud battery in a few years time for the scrap price.
that's the point, the cool factor not the partiality of. If you want practicality in a EV, by an brad that's been making car for 100 year and know the ends and outs from generations of experience.
Electric cars are fairly inexpensive. I wouldn't buy one if you don't have a garage or aren't in a position to charge at home. I wake up every morning to a "full tank" so to speak. You only really need charging infrastructure for road trips or if you routinely drive more than 200 miles a day in town.
@@kungfoochicken08 Fairly inexpensive, lol what?. The average c0st of an EV is around 55K. Not to mention the costly repairs, unrecyclable batteries, insane insurance costs and so on.
Someone in my city of Bountiful, UT has a cyber truck. Fun to see it driving it around ☺.
You mean it hasn't suffered critical system failures due to it's lousy design and poor manufacturing like all the rest have already?
I just love they had the balls to do it.. I LOVE the upgraded stainless steel technology aspect. Its looks sharp..
unnecessarily dangerous
The cyber truck glass is probably the hardest thing to manufacture
It doesnt require painting nor stamping metal like the model y
So it should be easier to make
Actually it does have stamped parts. Stainless is has to stamp as well. Especially because the panels have to look perfect without paint.
@@sc1338 My understanding is that they have a solution for that - using only folds rather than curves (on most panels, at least), and scoring the folds to make it easier to work with. The hood and frontmost panel do seem to be curved, though.
Model Y is a small budget car for people who cant afford a model X.
Same goes for 3 and S.
Cybertruck tho is on another level.
The biggest issue is going to be making sure the panels align correctly. The way the truck is currently designed, the panels come together at very specific points so they have very little margin for error. This means they have to be manufactured correctly every time or any misalignment is going to be so obvious.
Have you even _watched_ the video before commenting?
7:30 air bending reminds me of avatar: the last airbender😂😂😂
Easily the coolest thing on the road right now! And the fact that they may not produce more makes me more excited to get one for memorabilia.
Incredible engineering and an impractical product (from a pickup truck perspective)
Absolutely ..you wont see these things on a work site..and 1/3 of owners will never put anything on the bed except a case of Bud.
Lots of contractors will love to have a 6 foot locked bed to store their tools and 120 and 240 volt outlets to run their tools. The downside is that you can reach over the side of the bed, and have to access it from the back side. Also, its operating costs are a 1/4 per mile compared to a conventional ICE pickup, and maintenance of EVs is extremely low because they don't have many moving parts that wear out and don't require oil changes. The fact that the body is very difficult to scratch or dent on a worksite is another great benefit. The Cybertruck makes a lot of sense as a long term investment for businesses, although I suspect that many will wait a few years to see if customers report problems with model.
For small businesses, the Cybertruck is also a great place to put the advertising for their business, since it catches so much attention, although that would require an expensive wrap. I see a lot more positives than negatives for a contractor, although I think that most contractors will wait for the single motor model which is probably 2 or 3 years into the future, since they don't need the performance or extra cost of the 2 and 3 motor models.
@@amosbatto3051It can be lowered all the way down to 5” of ground clearance. (It has 12” of dynamic suspension travel). Even with the sloped sides at its lowest setting it should still be pretty easy to access the bed from the sides.

Keep in mind the prices will drop once the production gets to full ramp. They will only be priced higher to start because of low production and high demand.
demand? Not at that price.
This thing is bold and that is GREAT!!! Give it a little time, they will perfect it. There is room for all types of propulsion systems, gas, electric, etc. I haven’t driven one but seen it at Teslas Upland CA Center. It is amazing in person.

It's indeed amazing that they got it out of factory, time will tell how it would do and especially how it would deal with repairs and overall costs.
Expensive No Crumple Zones, Stainless steel once dented/bent will not ho back to shape and if you try snaps it's a death trap
For safety It relies solely on the Air Bags and Seat Belts for Safety again no Crumple Zones (Front Rear or Sides!)
Model X volumes? This baby's gonna sell like crazy!
Wrong, it will only be sold in America because it is a death trap POS.
How much extra does it cost to get a cyber truck that makes it past five minutes without the red screen of death? Also is a little bit of adhesive to hold down the gas pedal extra or do I just hot glue it on myself?
With adjusted inflation i think the price is as expected.
Not inflation. Musk lowballed originally cost . Manufacturing cost is the reason .
I drive a Honda Element and obviously don't care how a vehicle looks. I only care about reliability and functionality for what the vehicle was built for.So I'm really curious how this will work out for Tesla and what's next and will it change other manufacturers to question what people really want.Most likely i will never get a cyber truck but really want them to succeed.
Mechanicability and fitness for purpose, seems like this never came up. wondering what it weighs and what the payload capacity is. Why four doors if there’s no head room in the back? The bed is what, four feet?
"Why the Tesla Cybertruck would be so hard for our advertisers to manufacture"
So SS is heavy, hard and difficult to work with. Why not go all the way any use engineered stone then?
The looks may not be the best but it's understandable given the materials they are using. It's probably worth it though, a stainless steel shell is a nice feature
It's almost 10x thicker than other car shells without paint inc in thickness dimension
The Cybertruck technology is as far ahead of the competition as are the SpaceX rockets
More like 50's soviet era behind
Cybertruck is ugly and dangerous, literally illegal in Europe
There is a lot in this video about why the stainless steel manufacturing is difficult but nothing about WHY it is worth going down this road in the first place. What is the advantage, real or perceived?
Stainless steel is a great material in terms of strength and corrosion resistance. I'd say the disadvantages are difficulty in forming complex shapes and the cost versus steel or aluminium.
Like many of the comments here, if you Strongly Dislike Elon Musk (ie. CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC CBS, NPR, Washington Post, NYT, etc..) why would you say anything positive...no matter True or Not? No one has a clue if this will sell well or not, but for many, that's not even the point...they dislike Musk and that's all that counts.
@@stephenwabaxter But are strength and corrosion problems with traditional materials? I've never heard of those being issues.
@@mboikothe cubertruck got 2.1M reservations before delivery, I guess at most 1.5M will go through the order, afterwards, there are many that want the cybertruck, Tesla fans, truckers that don't care how it looks but need what it can offer and rich people for showing off.
The upside is that the body of the truck is impervious to everyday wear. Door dings, shopping carts, hand tools, car keys, ect, have a negligible effect on it. Even if you do manage to scratch it, it won't rust unlike painted regular steel. A benefit, to Tesla, is that they won't spend any money, time, or space painting it. It is the toughest truck normal people can buy, If you define "normal" as $80k, anyways.
It’s not hard to manufacture anymore now that they have their newly invented production tools and knowledge in place. Tesla is so ahead of their time. I can’t wait to own a cybertruck!
It offends the establishment. I WANT IT!
Okay so crazy thing, I actually talked with someone from the Tesla gigafactory. He's a software engineer. Anyhow, a couple of things to note. According to him, everything is pretty cluttered and disorganized. Because you know, they're having to do some irregular things. It’s also worth noting the weird speed limits on the campus. Like, 24? Why not 25?! And to top it off, he said he wouldn't get a Cybertruck, simply because its not his style. Which says a lot considering I met him through Lyft. And when I dropped him off, I had no idea where to drop him off. Supposedly there's supposed to be a tent where they were supposed to meet, in a parking lot. All that was there was a bus stop from the Soviet Union. Like, I know there's a lot of kooky stuff going on, but you'd think telling a software engineer where to go so he's not wandering like a goober would be solved.
It's interesting watching Elon perfect this fraud in real time...
Elon starts off the delivery event with - Experts said making the cybertruck was impossible but here are the deliveries of the first cybertrucks. Then CNBC interviews the same experts. Let’s check back in 2025… Whatever happened to the production ramp of the hummer ev or ford lightning?
It appears that a production ramp was never planned for the Hummer. The Lightning has reached volume production I think, 50k or so per year.

They are barely making 4 dollars per share which is peanuts compared to the price now. With more factories coming on and over production the prices will have to come down to move volume and lower margins in the future and possible losses. The arabs kept producing more an more oil and I laughed and watched it got to zero and now they have learned. Tesla can be more profitable with less volume and higher margins. The current target is 150 at Bernstein and I have a 100 to 150 target. It fell 75% before and I remember buying some at 102.
Love him or hate him, him and his products, Elon is almost single-handedly forcing the automotive industry to grow in ways it never would have without him. Still unsure I'd ever buy a Tesla, but I'm happy he's in the game and has plenty of people who can enjoy his stuff. I may just be a Mazda/Honda/Toyota lifer, but if my favourite Japanese brands can take a page or three out of the Tesla book, I'll be grateful for it.
But that's actually not a good thing. Automotive industry should downsize, good quality public transports and trains and walkable cities should be the solution.
@@tamasv9825 I don't think one should be confused with the other. A very mature and competitive automotive industry is a good thing; the supply chain in place is a machine in itself and the ever-improving quality, safety and price of our cars are a consequence.
That said, government subsidies shouldn't be so heavily invested in the automotive industry (that I agree with) and a practical public transit system shouldn't just be a target; it should be a necessity. Walkable cities should be the way of life and it isn't.
But even in those futures, cars will always be around and Elon had helped the automotive industry get to a place it wouldn't be without him.
Engineers with imagination,love it!
I’m pretty sure Airbending already existed on Nickelodeon, sir
I was gonna get one when they first showed it.
This one was poorly researched. This video just parrots the common talking points.
Actually videos from the launch event show clearly the cybertruck is manufactured as a conventional unibody using basically the same architecture as the structural pack version of Model Y.
The stainless panels have only straight press braked lines and they are hung on the conventional unibody.
Expect nothing less from CNBS and their anti EV agenda.
Partly true, but the inner door structure for example is gone apparently, not needed cos of the steel.
Exactly.
Yes I'm pretty sure this grade of stainless isn't that tough or novel. But of course Musk never learned the key part of manufacturing cars. Reusability of equipment and sharing common parts.
Tesla's shares many common parts, lots of parts from de model s and y are shared, they share as many parts as they can from other models, but, new products will inevitable create parts that won't be shared, like the cubertruck.

It's not hard to manufacture, it was hard to build tools and machines that could manufacture it. Now that they've built the things they need to bend the stainless steel and assemble they can ramp up production.
