Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, July 26 (Xinhua)-- Twitter blogger @ Troyteslike, who has been following Tesla, estimated the battery specifications of Tesla electric pickup truck Cybertruck on July 22, thus calculating the maximum battery capacity the car is expected to provide.

According to the Cybertruck data released by Tesla on the official website, the energy density of the first generation 4680 battery is 229Wh/kg, while the energy density of the second generation 4680 battery is 252WhAccording to the condition that the car is driving at a uniform speed of 65.5mph (105km / h), it is estimated that the energy consumption of the car is about 355Wh per kilometer.

Subsequently, the blogger assumed that "23% of the energy can be reused through kinetic energy recovery" and concluded as follows:

If the battery capacity is 120kWh, the Cybertruck has a range of 259 miles (417km).

If the battery capacity is 160kWh, the Cybertruck has a range of 345 miles (555km).

When Tesla announced the launch of the Cybertruck a few years ago, he hinted that there would be three endurance versions: 250miles (402.34 kilometers), more than 300miles (482.8 kilometers) and more than 500miles (804.67 kilometers).

As a result, if Tesla "wants this car to provide a maximum range of 300,350 miles", then the power battery capacity of the Cybertruck should be about twice that of the Model Y long-range model (CTOnews.com Note: the battery capacity of the long-range version of the Model Y model currently on sale in China is about 78.4kWh).

But this is not over. According to foreign media insideevs, according to Tesla's official maximum range of 500mph (805km), the Cybertruck will have a maximum battery capacity of 232kWh. It also means that the car will become one of the all-electric vehicles with the largest battery capacity on the market.

CTOnews.com previously reported that according to some technical details revealed by Tesla in the second quarter earnings call, the much-anticipated Cybertruck electric pickup will use a more advanced and energy-intensive version of the 4680 battery, which is already used at the Model Y plant in Texas.

Drew Baglino, senior vice president of powertrain and energy engineering for Tesla, says the Cybertruck 4680 battery unit in Texas has a 10 per cent increase in energy density compared to currently produced battery units. This is achieved through "process and mechanical design optimization", he said.

In addition, there is more good news about Tesla's 4680 battery. Drew Baglino said that as a result of "significant progress" in improving the yield of the 4680 battery production line, the Texas plant saw an 80 per cent increase in battery unit production and a 25 per cent reduction in battery COGS (cost of sales) in the second quarter compared with the first quarter. In addition, Baglino reminded Tesla investors that the 4680 team in Texas had produced 10 million battery units last month.

As for the Cybertruck, Tesla claims to have started preliminary production at a Texas super factory, and the specifications and price of its powertrain are still unknown. Tesla said that the first delivery of the car will begin this year. According to crowdsourcing data tracker information, as of July 22, 2023, Tesla Cybertruck pickup orders reached 1943876, equivalent to pre-order income of more than 194 million US dollars.
