Mechanics dismantled a Tesla Cybertruck fresh from the factory and discovered a surprise in the innovative electric vehicle.
O Tesla Cybertruck shocked the world with its innovative design and unique solutions. Today, the vehicle continues to be one of the most talked about today.
Although it was recently launched, the electric pickup truck Elon Musk still raises doubts about its manufacture and performance.
To clear up this doubt, recently, a team mechanics decided to completely dismantle the vehicle, revealing details that surprised even the most skeptical.

Difficulties with homologation in Europe
Although it is available in the North American market, the Cybertruck faces problems being approved in Europe due to safety issues.
Meanwhile, in the home market, enthusiasts and critics are seeking to better understand the peculiarities of this 100% electric model.
Munro's team, known for disassembling vehicles for technical analysis, decided to explore all the secrets of the Cybertruck.
Battery size was a negative surprise
One of the most discussed points in the Cybertruck is the new generation battery, known as Tesla 4680. The number 4680 refers to the physical dimensions of the battery cells.
The team of mechanics opened the box that houses these batteries and discovered something unusual: the interior contains significant air gaps, leaving the package partially empty.
This discovery raises doubts about the efficiency promised by the vehicle.
Initially, Tesla promised a range of up to 800 km per charge. However, real-world tests indicate numbers well below that.
The entry-level version, with two electric motors and 608 hp, offers around 409 km of autonomy, according to measurements from the North American EPA cycle.
Even with the optional 50 kWh battery, sold for an additional US$15, the range does not exceed 700 km as certified — a value that drops even further in real use.
Weight impact and possible updates
The main battery, of 123 kWh, already adds considerable weight to the vehicle. With the inclusion of the extra battery, the weight increases even more, compromising efficiency.
This problem is compounded by the empty spaces in the battery compartment, a detail that experts believe is either a design flaw or something related to the strategy for future improvements.
Among the possible updates planned for the coming months is the reduction of loading times.
Tesla promises to optimize the power curve during the process, allowing a 15-minute recharge to provide up to 250 km of autonomy.
If these improvements come to fruition, they could alleviate some of the criticisms regarding the vehicle's performance.
Technological espionage among car manufacturers
In addition to the technical revelations, speculation has emerged that other automakers are interested in exploring the Cybertruck's technology.
Ford, for example, would have acquired a unit at a high price to dismantle it and better understand how the vehicle works.
Although the information has not been officially confirmed, rumors increased after the publication of Munro's videos.
BMW is also said to have followed the same strategy, albeit in a more discreet manner. Experts believe that this interest reflects the technological impact that the Cybertruck could have on the automotive industry, even though it faces initial challenges.
The Future of Tesla Cybertruck
With pressure for improvements and criticism since its launch, the Cybertruck finds itself at a crucial moment.
Despite the controversies, the model continues to be a reference in the electric pick-up segment, arousing curiosity and competitiveness in the market.
Tesla promises to fix flaws and surprise with new solutions soon, consolidating its role as one of the most innovative companies in the automotive industry.

The **** go crazy and cry into their pillows.
Very good report
