Why is the Cybertruck taking so long? Unveiling the reasons testing patience
Newly leaked documents, brought to light by Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper and reported by Wired, provide insights into the reasons behind the prolonged development of the Tesla Cybertruck, almost four years after its initial unveiling.
The leaked document highlights the intricate engineering challenges faced by the company, including issues related to body sealing, leaks, noise, handling, braking, and suspension.
Unique shape of the Cybertruck posed issues with body sealing and noise
These challenges were exacerbated by the truck's unique design, featuring sharp and geometric lines that posed difficulties in achieving proper sealing and minimizing noise. The document also reveals problems with features like "strafe mode" and identifies issues such as "high head-toss accelerations" and "structural shake."
Despite these obstacles, Tesla remains committed to launching the Cybertruck by the end of this year, with full-scale production expected to commence in 2024. However, the truck's unconventional shape may present hurdles for its widespread adoption, as concerns are raised about meeting safety regulations, particularly in Europe, due to the complexities of working with stainless steel and its potential impact on essential safety features.
