The battery pack installed in the Cybertruck is actually 122kWh? The payload of Cybertruck exceeds 1.03 tons? ! The charging port light also has 7 modes, so it’s not that simple to charge it correctly. The popularity of the 48V system of the Cybertruck is only increasing, and it is even on the Zhihu hot list in China. Traffic master Musk has created another popularity monster.

Official documents reveal more technical details

Obviously, the information released at the Cybertruck launch conference cannot satisfy the appetite of fans.

No, some people have gone to the official website of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) just to see if they can find more information about this "once-in-a-decade" super product.

Although the documents released by the EPA are mainly to provide a reference for the vehicle's vehicle emissions and fuel economy, there are still some small details that were not disclosed at the press conference.

First, about battery, battery life and charging.

A document mentioned that the total voltage of the Cyberpickup battery pack is 816V, the battery energy capacity is 150 (the unit may be Ah), and the battery specific energy is 170 (the unit may be wh/kg).

It can be calculated from this that the battery pack capacity of the Cybertruck should be 122.4kWh, which is consistent with the 123kWh previously disclosed by some media. (The battery pack capacity is not officially disclosed)

However, probably due to design, weight and other reasons, equipped with such a large-capacity battery pack, the basic range of the Cybertruck is less than 550km.

But this kind of battery life is only achieved when the vehicle is equipped with a heat pump system, which is the system that is now standard on the new S, 3, X, and Y.

A document states that the Cybertruck is equipped with a heat pump system specifically to minimize heat loss and maximize cruising range and efficiency.

According to reports, this heat pump system can not only reuse the heat generated by the battery and driving device, but also actively heat the cab by consuming a small amount of electricity, saving energy and improving the cruising range of long-distance driving.

In addition, details of the Cyber ​​Pickup’s charging port have also been exposed.

According to the document, there is an LED screen on the charging port located on the left rear fender, which displays different charging statuses through different colors.

The specific meaning is as follows:

In addition, the payload of the Cybertruck was also disclosed.

According to the document, the top-spec Cyberbeast model weighs 6,898 pounds (3,129kg) and the all-wheel drive version weighs 6,669 pounds (3,025kg). The rated total weight of both models is 9,169 pounds (4,159kg).

In other words, the Cyberbeast has a payload of 1.03 tons, and the all-wheel drive version has a payload of 1.134 tons.

This is also another important parameter of a pickup truck in addition to towing capacity.

However, just uncovering these is not enough. Some people are still asking in the comment area, is the power consumption value (MPGe) of the Cybertruck not made public?

Why is the Cybertruck so popular?

First of all, this is the first pickup truck that Tesla has been preheating for 4 years. The popularity has not diminished since its debut. Before the official launch, some detailed information about this car will be seen online from time to time.

Now that it has finally been unveiled, people want to see what difference it will make if Tesla, which has already stirred up the new energy market with its four S3XY vehicles, builds a pure electric pickup truck from scratch.

It turns out that the Cybertruck is indeed disruptive on some levels.

For example, the body frame and skin are made of special stainless steel alloy. Officials say the torsional stiffness of the body exceeds that of the supercar McLaren P1.

In frontal and side collisions at 60km/h, the A-pillar and B-pillar structures are intact and do not invade the cockpit.

The maximum towing capacity can reach 4.99 tons, which is equivalent to an adult Asian elephant;You can tow a Porsche 911 faster than the 911.

And the controllability is also good, equipped with four-wheel steering, the turning radius is smaller than Model X; there is also steering by wire, which uses electrical signals to control the motor instead of the traditional steering column.

Some bloggers said in the review that when driving the Cybertruck, they could not tell that it was a full-size pickup truck with a length of over 5.6 meters, a wheelbase of over 3.6 meters, and a weight of over 3 tons.On the contrary, the experience is even better than Model X, which is famous for its performance.

However, since Cybertruck is so popular, there will most likely be controversy.

For example, it is calledCybertruck is the first model ever to adopt a 48V architecture, has caused heated discussions on Zhihu.

It should be explained that the 48V system mentioned here is not the 400V or 800V architecture of the car power system, but the car's low-voltage system, which mainly supplies power to interior lighting, ECM, audio, air conditioning and other equipment.

Most traditional passenger cars use a 12V system, but this voltage is not enough for fuel vehicles, let alone new energy vehicles.

Therefore, 48V systems that can improve efficiency and save energy have emerged.

According to P=UI, under the same current condition, the 48V system can output higher power than the 12V system; under the same output power condition, the 48V system can achieve lower current, thereby reducing power loss.

At the same time, lower current means lighter wires, which facilitates reduction of vehicle body weight.

However, considering that the total weight of the Cybertruck is still over 9,000 pounds, the weight reduction effect of the 48V system may not be obvious.

Moreover, many people have different opinions on whether the Cybertruck is the first car to adopt a 48V architecture.

But there is no doubt that the popularity and discussion about Cybertruck has reached new heights since its launch.

What do you think of the Cybertruck? Is it a disruptive product?
