AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/22 Report--

Tesla launched his first pickup truck, the Cyberturck, at his headquarters in Los Angeles on November 22nd, which is Tesla's first pure electric pickup truck. In terms of performance, the car offers three endurance versions of 250mph, 300mph and 500mph, with a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.9s. In terms of price, the car costs $39900, $49900 and $69900, respectively, according to its mileage. The new car is expected to be officially released by the end of 2019 and will be put into mass production in early 2022.

From the press conference and the official picture released, the design of the car is very science fiction, the appearance is very similar to the armored vehicle, the length, width and height are 5880mm/2020mm/1900mm. Tesla claims that the new car will have a cyberpunk design style, and the appearance of the new car is very different from that of traditional pick-up trucks.

Musk said the design of the car was inspired by the Lotus S1 Esprit driven by Bond in the underwater City of James Bond.

At the press conference, Tesla did not show the interior design of Cybertruck, but according to the information exposed online, the interior design of the car still tends to be simple.

Tesla said the pure electric pickup uses super glass and polymer laminated composites to improve the car's resistance and durability and can cope with the worst road conditions.

But there was an accident at the press conference. Musk hired chief designer Franz von Huo Zhaosen to knock on the truck's door several times with a sledgehammer, and you could see that there was really no major damage to the body. Then the designer tested the firmness of the glass of the car, picked up a round metal ball and threw it at the side glass. To everyone's surprise, the glass was broken.

Musk, who stood by, was so embarrassed that he joked, "maybe you hit it too hard!" At least it didn't get through.

Some netizens commented that "try to change the Chinese glass, Guinness will block it for you!"

However, many netizens think that this is just Tesla's marketing gimmick, and the new car will certainly undergo the same test before the official launch to avoid the situation during the official release.

Judging from Musk and the designer's performance on the stage, we do not rule out the fact that the rollover of the press conference is actually creating a topic for Tesla. At present, various major media have also made relevant reports on this, and even went on a hot search.

Musk has also posted information about electric pickups on Twitter several times, and Musk also said on his official account today that Tesla Cybertruck (pressurized version) will become the official truck to land on Mars.

Although Musk says the electric pickup will be an official car on Mars, it is unclear whether the car will meet the criteria for landing on Mars, and even if it does, it is expected to take a long time.

As we all know, in the US pickup market, the highest sales volume is Ford's Fmuri 150. Ford is already working on the electric version of the Fmure 150, and has shown the electric version of the Fmuri 150 in the second quarter of this year. Tesla's first electric pickup truck has been released, and when it goes on sale, it will face competition from Ford and other electric pickups.

Compared with the car and SUV market, the electrification trend of the pickup market is relatively late. At present, GM, Ford and other car companies have put the launch plan of the electric pickup truck on the agenda, and it is still unknown whether Tesla electric pickup truck can continue to win recognition in the pickup market.
