Nearly four years after it was first unveiled, the #Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) #Cybertruck finally began shipping on November 30, 2023. #Musk mentioned he wanted to "temper expectations" and "enormous challenges" that remain ahead for #Production. He highlighted the vehicle's #Unique design, which he said is packed with "a lot of new technology," making manufacturing the #Cybertruck in high volumes an immense challenge. The difficulty of getting from a prototype to volume production is like 10,000% harder to get to volume production than it is to make the prototype in the first place. What makes it #Unique (its angular design and #StainlessSteel body) is a big part of the problem. "All #Cybetruck parts, whether in-house or from suppliers, must be designed and manufactured with a #Precision of less than 10 microns. That means all #Dimensions of the parts must be up to the #ThirdDecimal in millimeters and tolerances must be specified in single digit microns." #Cybertruck is built with an outer shell designed to provide maximum #Durability and #Protection to passengers. Starting with a nearly impenetrable #Exoskeleton, every component is designed to provide #Strength, from the structural skin from 30X #UltraHard #Cold-Rolled #StainlessSteel to #ArmoredGlass. Three versions of the #TeslaCybertruck will be available with different battery packs and transmission configurations: The #SingleMotor #RWD version will offer more than 250 miles of range. One version with #AWD all-wheel drive of #TwoMotors will reach more than 300 miles of range, and a #AWD version of #ThreeMotors will have more than 500 miles of range. The base model of the #Cybertruck costs $60,990. The all-wheel drive model, which starts at $79,990, while the #Cyberbeast model starts at $99,990. https://lnkd.in/eetd4ZXm

Laser & Tire: Turning old into new ♻️   With more than 50 million tires sold each year in Germany alone, the question arises of how to extend the life of tires.   One possibility: tire renewal or tire recycling. This involves removing the tread of a worn tire and applying a new tread.   This process is environmentally friendly 🌍 but technically challenging ⚙️ because it requires a high level of quality control ✔️ to ensure that the retreaded tires are safe.   And that's exactly why professionals work with laser modules from Z-LASER: https://lnkd.in/eJNP4GDG 🎯   #ZLASER #tireindustry #automotive #laser
