Leaked Tesla documents shed new light on why the Cybertruck is taking so long
An early prototype suffered from big issues.
It's crazy how they blew their lead. In 2019 there was no Rivian, no F150 Lightning, just them and their goofy prototype. If they went for something they could have actually mass produced w/o the stupid gimmicks, they probably would have dominated the E-truck market before it even started.
I just liked their shatter-proof glass. That’s my favourite part of the Cyber Truck.
It's actually kind of problematic, since tempered glass is an important safety feature in cars. It's strong and resists impacts, but when hit with the right kind of tool will shatter into small 'cubes' that don't have sharp and dangerous shards. Without safety glass it's much harder to rescue people that are trapped in a vehicle, you basically have to hammer on the shatterproof glass for several minutes which you might not have if the car is sinking in water, near a fire, exposed to dangerous chemical spills, etc. Honestly, I don't think that design for 'cybertruck' would be approved by US regulatory standards.
is it because they ran out of triangles?
