"How shocking it felt to see Cyberruck in 19 years, how disappointing this production version was."
"There is no shape, why, you are ready to return your thousand dollar deposit?"
"I have this impulse, but I can't tell others that I'm a Prospective Cybertreck owner."
"Anyway, you think the mass production version is not that tasteful, this prospective owner is not appropriate."
"This rearview mirror, this big wiper, this wheel, it really looks silly to put on this body."
"It seems that you are really not suitable to be a prospective owner, a Tesla owner who talks about appearance like you."

Not limited to cars, I'm afraid many people have a feeling in recent years that science fiction is gradually becoming a reality. Combined with the events of the past two years, it seems that magic is about to become a reality. Wind resistance coefficient 0.3, 2.9 seconds acceleration from 100 km/h, cruising range of 800 km, 1600 kg payload, 6.35 tons of traction, bulletproof body and glass, and most importantly, unprecedented unique appearance and large body size. The mass-produced version of what Musk called the "ultimate car" Cybertruck in 2019 was finally unveiled at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Giga Texas plant a few days ago. Previous doubts about the mass production version of the video leaked by Tesla's internal employees, as the mass production car opened on the stage, it was not self-defeating, but according to Musk's style, these employees who let us see the real appearance of the mass production version in advance should lose their jobs.

Although it looks the same at first glance, the production version is still very different from the concept version that has received much attention before. First of all, from the perspective of the proportion of people and body, the overall body size has shrunk significantly, which also confirms Musk's previous dialogue with Jay Leno, "The production version of Cybertruck will be reduced by 5%." In addition to the huge wipers, the wheels were replaced with a more ordinary style, and on the Cyberteruck's body, the pragmatism style was somewhat excessive. In order to comply with road regulations, rearview mirrors were installed. The bottom surface of the cargo box has also changed from metal to a black material similar to plastic. In addition, some details are also different from the concept version. In terms of perception, Cyberteruck, which originally had a strong sense of science fiction, has become more like the "artistic creation of the red neck" in the population that previously attacked it.

Aside from gaging at the Oolong incident where bulletproof glass had been smashed before, Musk and Cybertruck's chief designer, Franz von Hodshausen, said almost nothing at the groundbreaking ceremony. The specific parameter details of the production version have not been announced, so let's discuss a practical problem. Is Cybertruck's seemingly flawless solution really feasible? Let's just look at this problem from the appearance for the time being. The production version retains almost all of the concept car's sharp angles, and how to pass the rigorous pedestrian crash test is probably a problem. There was no paint, and Tesla announced that their "30X cold-rolled stainless steel" would not do any surface treatment. But anyone with a little knowledge of materials science will know that there is no stainless steel in the world. The so-called "30X" is also a derivative material of the 300 series stainless steel commonly found in tableware. Tesla, which is not known for its workmanship, may still rust in the corners of the mass production car.

Looking online at Tesla's patent application for Cybertruck, it can be printed out in hundreds of pages. There are still a lot of eye-catching new technologies. The upgraded FSD can handle more complex road conditions. Eliminating the body integrated battery design of the battery pack can minimize the space occupied by the battery cell and happily stack the battery again. The solar panels integrated in the cargo lid can provide an additional 24km of cruising range per day. The various modular components can be easily transformed into RVs, hardcore off-road and even track toys to meet the needs of completely unrelated cars. Although there are often some confusing statements, the future that Musk plans for Cyberruck still looks very good, and we still have to continue to look forward to what will be achieved in the end.

Write at the end:
As one of the most watched models in the world since 2019, cyberruck, which has not yet been listed, has more than 1.2 million orders worldwide, and the delivery time has been scheduled until 2025. Although the deposit can be refunded, the willingness to put money into Tesla's account can also show many people's expectations for this new car and their trust in Tesla's technology. It's just that Cyberruck, which has already appeared, still faces a lot of problems. There's a lot more to do before you change the world.
