• Whistleblower Exposes Tesla’s Struggles: Leaked Report Unveils Major Issues Plaguing Cybertruck Development”
• “Cybertruck’s Dangerous Braking Score of Four Raises Concerns: Will it Ever Hit the Roads Safely?

The Tesla Cybertruck is still under development three years after it was first unveiled to the public. Production was slated to begin in 2021, but there are presently 1.8 million reservation holders waiting for Tesla’s pickup truck. However, they won’t have to wait long, as release candidates are expected in late August.

Why has it taken so long for the Cybertruck to arrive? With so many variables at play, it’s difficult to isolate a single cause. Having said that, its unconventional design has undoubtedly played a significant influence in delaying manufacturing. According to a leaked technical report, the preproduction “alpha” Cybertruck suffered from major suspension, braking, and handling issues.

The study was one of many internal “Tesla Files” disclosed last month by a whistleblower. Given that the engineering report’s exact date was January 25, 2022, it’s safe to conclude that most of the issues have now been resolved. Nonetheless, it’s fascinating to learn about some of the difficulties Tesla had throughout the Cybertruck’s lengthy construction.

One of the engineers was “blown away” by Tesla’s “struggling so much with the basics.” According to Wired, the investigation claims that the Cybertruck’s odd design made it difficult to entirely seal. As a result, there was a lot of noise and leaks.

According to the study, the Cybertruck handled extremely poorly, with excessive body roll, steering difficulties, and “structural shake.” Breaking was even worse. According to the Society of Automotive Engineers grading methodology, engineers aimed for a braking score of seven. That would be regarded a “fair” score. What did the pre-production Cybertruck actually accomplish? A four, which makes it quite hazardous for public roads.
