On January 24, the Cybertruck Kowners Club website exposed two real-time pictures of the mass production version of Tesla's electric pickup truck Cyberruck, and after a small lei comparison, it was found that there was a big difference between the renderings announced by Tesla before.
Real shots
In the original rendering, cybertruck is more angular, the body is silvery white, and the wheels are also very technological and futuristic. But the Cyberruck texture in the real picture is obviously a little worse, the appearance is somewhat light cyan, and the wheels are no different from ordinary tires.
Of course, it is too normal for buyers to have a gap between the buyer show and the seller show, and most of the consumers who believe in Cyberruck have already prepared mentally. For them, the exposure of the Cybertruck mass production version means that this car is not too far from mass production, which is already great news.
Since its release, Cybertruck has accumulated 120 orders, but this model has not been put into production, and many consumers can't wait. Originally, Tesla expected the car to be put into mass production in 2022, but at the beginning of this month, the word "2022" on the promotional page was deleted, and it was not known whether it was postponed to next year's mass production or early mass production.
Tesla vehicle deliveries will be 930,000 units in 2021, and even if Cybertruck is put into production, the initial production capacity will not be too high, and it is expected that it will take many years to deliver the 1.2 million orders pre-ordered by consumers.
More importantly, Tesla is not without opponents, although Ford Motor's electric pickup truck was released late, but with production capacity and supply chain advantages, it has been put into mass production, and GM is also developing electric pickup trucks. If Tesla can't deliver the electric pickup truck, consumers who can't wait are not impossible to cancel the order and turn to the arms of Ford and GM.
Although Tesla is the world's highest market value car company, but the gap between sales and old car companies is too large, investors are optimistic about the electric vehicle market, Tesla's market value is inflated is also the truth. Recently, Tesla's market value has been declining, not necessarily without reasons for this.
Now Tesla's top priority is to increase production capacity, deliver orders as soon as possible, and avoid consumers waiting too long. In fact, Tesla is also working hard to build factories, and the next batch of factories to be put into operation is located in Germany and the United States. However, the work efficiency of workers in Germany and the United States is too low, resulting in these factories starting before Tesla's Shanghai Gigafactory, but has not yet been put into production.
Perhaps Tesla needs to think about whether it is going to increase investment in China, build a few more factories, increase production capacity as soon as possible, and shorten the delivery time of Cyberruck.
