In November 2019, Elon Musk unveiled the Tesla Cybertruck – a futuristic electric pickup truck that turned heads with its bold design and cutting-edge features. Anticipation for this revolutionary vehicle has been high, as it promises to challenge traditional automotive norms and redefine sustainability in transportation. With its innovative technology and striking appearance, the Cybertruck represents a significant step forward for Tesla and the automotive industry as a whole, signaling a new era of engineering and design.
Innovation behind the Cybertruck
The Cybertruck is built with an exterior shell made for durability and passenger protection. Its nearly impenetrable exoskeleton, made from ultra-hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel, provides a sturdy structure that could help in reducing damage in case of an accident.
The patent US11938796B2 describes the exoskeleton exterior vehicle panels that are mounted to a vehicle frame and provide crash resistance properties and may be load-bearing.
The patent US20210156705A1 describe the user interfaces for Cybertruck operation, Cybertruck features a large, prominent 17-inch touchscreen that serves as the control center for nearly all of the vehicle’s functions like speed, distance traveled, and outside temperature. These screens can replace old-fashioned dials and buttons. This screen makes the Cybertruck’s interior innovative and user-friendly by centralizing controls and embracing a futuristic design.
The patent US20210155086A1 describes the cover for a truck bed that can be electrically rolled up and down to cover the bed.
The Cybertruck cover moves automatically along tracks on the truck bed, through an opening between the cab and the bed. It’s powered by a motor and can be controlled without manual effort. The cover is made of flexible parts joined together, allowing it to move smoothly.
Cybertruck lockable metal cover enhances security against theft and weather.
The patent US20230012646A1 describes glass structures for use in Cybertruck.
Cybertruck windows with curves and lines are made using a method where heat is applied to a specific spot on flat glass. This spot is then bent to create a line or curve in the glass. The bend can have a radius of 2 mm to 5 cm. More layers of curved or joined glass can be added to make complex curved windows for Cybertruck.
In conclusion, the patent for the Tesla Cybertruck marks a significant milestone in automotive innovation. With its futuristic design and groundbreaking features, the Cybertruck embodies Tesla’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of technology and redefining the possibilities of electric vehicles.
