Encounter with Tesla Cybertruck

Finally got to meet the Cybertruck in Japan

For the past few days, I've been fascinated by the announcement of the Porsche 911 992.2 and the 718, so even though I was saying Porsche Porsche, I went to see Tesla!

What's more, even though it's Tesla, I wanted to see it for myself at least once: the Cybertruck, Tesla's proud electric pickup truck.

It was so hot.

What an amazing force! This is a Cybertruck.

It goes without saying, but it's exactly the same Cybertruck that I've seen in pictures and videos, and I'm moved by the fact that it's really that Cybertruck.

I never thought the day would come when I would be able to meet a Cybertruck.

Apparently they were taking orders in Japan as well, but they have stopped accepting orders now, so I wonder if it was the Tesla sales person who was talking next to me. According to a story, ``Currently, Hokkaido is the region with the most reservations in Japan.''

It's true that it's a big car, so there may be more demand for this big and powerful pickup truck in places like Hokkaido than in the city center.

Take a look at the details of the Cybertruck

Now that I was able to see a real Cybertruck up close, I would like to take a closer look at the points that I personally found interesting.

I'm sure you'll only see points that don't matter, but I hope you'll join me ^^

First of all, this tire part. The wheel part seems to be a wheel cover and is removable. It can be worn while driving to reduce air resistance.

By the way, when you remove this wheel cover, there seems to be a so-called normal Tesla (Model 3, etc.) wheel underneath, so when you remove the cover, you suddenly get the impression that it looks like a normal car. It seems like it will be.

The back side is also amazing.

No matter where you look at it, you'll get the impression that it's a Cybertruck, and it's completely different from any other cars you've seen before.

I think Elon Musk is amazing because he decided to make this car and actually released it to the world in this form...

Width 2413.3mm, length 5682.9mm, height 1790.8mm, cruising range 547km.

Here is what I looked at from below. Flat design that seems to reduce air resistance. ↓

The Cybertruck has an ultra-hard stainless steel body.

The exterior of this Cybertruck is made of ultra-hard stainless steel, which is extremely safe and cannot be penetrated by bullets.

The person from Tesla I spoke to here actually scratched the surface of the Cybertruck with a pen right in front of me, and there really wasn't any scratches at all.

I think I'll be able to use Gekiochi-kun when I wash my Cybertruck (lol).

There are some laser engravings on this ultra hard stainless steel body, do you know where they are?

Here. It says “FOUNDATION SERIES”↓

This so-called first generation Cybertruck is said to be in a series called the "Foundation Series", and the first generation Cybertruck will have this stamp.

The foundation stamp was also on the right side of the rear↓

The rear trunk part was closed on that day's exhibit, but the closed part looks like a shutter has been closed, so just looking at it, you wouldn't think it was the back of a car.

By the way, the Cybertruck has a maximum storage capacity of 3423.5 liters, and there is also a trunk (frunk) at the front.

There are three switches on the rear left side of the trunk surface, and the top two buttons can be used to raise and lower the shutter... or rather, open and close it... and the bottom button can be used to open the rear tailgate. They say it can be done.

When I was looking at the button that opens and closes the shutter, I suddenly noticed the side part and thought, ``Ah, is this the so-called ``Tesla's dust is not aligned''?

I saw it for the first time (I'm a little happy ^^)!

How to open the Cybertruck door

Then, when I came around to the side of the car, I felt something strange and said, ``Oh, there's no door handle, how do I open it?''

I understand?

Here is the hint↓

If you look closely, you can see that this part can be pressed, so if you press this, the door will open slightly.

Click here for the door release button for the rear seats.

It feels like once you get to know it, you get the hang of it, but at first you don't understand it at all. The Cybertruck has a design that is completely simple and has no half-finished imperfections, which is amazing.

Where is the charging port on Cybertruck?

The next thing I noticed after figuring out the door handle (how to open it) was that there was no electric charging port.

There should normally be a so-called "fuel filler" somewhere in your car, but you can't find it just by looking at it.

So, where is the Cybertruck's charging port hidden?

That's...here!

If you open up a part of the fender molding above this left rear tire, there is a charging port. It's completely hidden ↓

There are also various cameras embedded in it, including one to take pictures of the surroundings...

Here ↓

By the way, the bottom part of this camera is a key card reader, and it seems that you can unlock and lock it by holding your car key card etc. there (you can also unlock it by using your smartphone as a key and connecting it to Bluetooth) ).

The camera was also here↓

Also, this camera in the back is a camera that shows the rear view, and when the back of the Cybertruck is not opened like a pickup truck, it is said that it is quite difficult to see the rear view from the driver's seat in the rear view mirror. , it seems that we will be relying on this camera image.

However, the rearview mirror is not digital, and the rearview mirror is just a regular small mirror, and the images from the rear camera are viewed on the monitor that serves as the instrument panel.

cybertruck headlights

Speaking of the Cybertruck, the distinctive feature is the light strip that runs right across the front, but those lights seem to be daytime running lights, and it seems that these are the headlights.

Now, where is it? (lol)

Here ↓

Is this small and thin thing a headlight? !

...I was surprised when I saw the light, but when I looked up again, I experienced for the second time, ``Oh, this is the one that doesn't fit Tesla's dust.''

Well, it's true that if it's a series like Model 3 or something like that, if the dust doesn't match, I can understand the feeling of thinking, "What's wrong with that?"

But if this is a Cybertruck, even this mismatched dust is part of the Cybertruck, or rather, it's made of stainless steel glued together.It feels like a Cybertruck again. I feel it's a good thing (of course, if there are no negative effects from it).

Cybertruck's giant wiper

When I looked out the windshield, I noticed something large.

Maybe that's it.

Is it a wiper? ! It's extremely long (lol).

The top 20-30cm was made of rubber only (no core or support).

The Cybertruck's glass is armored glass that can withstand impact.

By the way, the glass used in this Cybertruck is called ``Armor Glass,'' and it is said to withstand the impact of a baseball flying at 112 km/h or a Class 4 leopard (ice).

Every time I do that, I am reminded of the time when Elon Musk demonstrated this armor glass test (lol). If you like, please click here → Again, "If you're Elon!" (Laughs)

By the way, I wanted to see what was inside the car behind the glass, but today's exhibit can only be viewed from the outside.

I tried taking a picture from outside, but the outside scenery was reflected in the picture so I couldn't really see it.

I added a little frame in yellow, and you can see the steering wheel, which has an unusual horizontally long design with a flat top and bottom called a yoke steering wheel, and the large 18.5-inch screen (in place of the instrument panel) ↓

I don't know about the seat, but I wonder if I can see it ↓

No, no, it was a Cybertruck that was really big and had an impressive appearance.

Not only does it look good, the Cybertruck (in North America) accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds in beast mode, and features all-terrain tires, steer-by-wire, and rear steering. The handling is said to be like that of a sports car.

Furthermore, it is equipped with an electronically controlled adaptive air suspension that provides a clearance of 433 mm, allowing you to push through any rough roads. It's amazing in so many ways.

A while agoA video of a Cybertruck driving while towing a Porsche goes viralHowever, its towing capacity is 4,990kg.

It's an amazing car, and I was reminded again and again how amazing Tesla's Elon Musk was, who really brought this car to the world.

On this day, the person who taught me various things about the Cybertruck was a person from Tesla Center Chiba Inage, and he was a very nice guy who kindly and carefully taught me various things. thank you very much.

If I ever decide to buy a Tesla in the future, I would like to visit Tesla Center Chiba Inage for consultation beforehand ^^

It's been a busy few days, with my mind turning to "Porsche, Porsche, Cybertruck, Porsche" (lol).
