Heartbreaking "Tesla": premiere in late November


According to Elon, the new pickup will look like a car from the movie "blade Runner", and the car itself was codenamed Cybertruck. In addition, Elon Musk assures that the new car will have a "heartbreaking" design, practicality Ford F-150 and dynamics Porsche 911.

Recall that for the first time about the pickup Musk spoke in 2013. It is assumed that this will be a fairly large car that can accommodate 6 people, and the range on charged batteries will be 600-800 km. Moreover, the car can have two engines at once.

Note that not only Tesla is preparing an electric pickup. Rivian has the same plans. For the first time cars of this brand we saw last fall at the auto show in Los Angeles. Then was shown a large SUV R1S and pickup Ridianr 1 T. from a technical point of view, they are identical: the cars have four (!) two electric motors (each running with its own wheel). In the basic version, the total power of the motors is 408 HP (560 N*m), and the battery has a capacity of 105 kW*h (with such characteristics, the SUV can drive 386, and the pickup truck — 370 km).

It was also shown a variant with motors with a capacity of 764 HP (1120 N*m) and a battery for 135 and even 180 kW*h. in the latter case, on one charge, the mileage grows to 700 kilometers. And the acceleration time of 0-100 km/h in a rather big and heavy SUV-3.2 seconds.

It would seem-how many such startups we have seen in recent years. However, Rivian was able to fire. In February this year, it became known that the mighty Amazon decided to invest in the company as much as 700 million dollars. And then from the US came another news — Ford invests in Rivian half a billion dollars! Moreover, it is stated that the two companies will jointly create a "fundamentally new battery" (batteries are now called the main deterrent in the development of electric cars).
