2. Tesla’s Cybertruck is coming this year
Unlike the Model 3, the Cybertruck was designed around a vision that started with the manufacturing process. In this case the materials dictated the design as forming full hard stainless steel is very difficult.
It created a very dynamic and efficient design for the Cybertruck.
The footprint got a lot smaller as they don’t need all the machines other cars need to create the forms of the cars.
They have improved the assembly of the cybertruck which improves build time and efficiency, as well as lowered their foot print.
