If there is any car that can represent the future and innovation of the automotive industry, then Tesla's Cyber SUV can definitely be considered one of them. Whether in terms of design, electrical architecture, or production methods, it can be considered a groundbreaking product. Since its release in 2019, countless car enthusiasts have been looking forward to having a close encounter and experience with it.
On August 14th to 15th, the first dynamic experience of the Cyber off-road travel vehicle in the Yangtze River Delta came to Hangzhou, and the Chao News reporter also went to experience and test drive it for the first time.

In addition to its advanced exterior design, the Cyber off-road travel vehicle features an ultra hard 30X cold-rolled stainless steel body, which has a unique metallic texture without any paint coating. Not only does it provide certain bulletproof capabilities, but it also enhances passive collision safety to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that the Cyber Land Cruiser is the world's first mass-produced vehicle to adopt a 48V low-voltage architecture, revolutionizing the 12V architecture that has been used in the industry for over 70 years. This architecture greatly reduces the weight and space occupation of wiring harnesses, improves vehicle space while reducing vehicle weight, increasing range, reducing charging times and costs, and also promotes a breakthrough transformation of the passenger car industry from 12V low-voltage systems to 48V low-voltage systems.
The most impressive aspect of the test drive was Tesla's steer by wire technology. Unlike traditional models that connect the steering wheel and wheels through the steering column, the Cyber off-road travel vehicle eliminates the physical connection of the steering structure and achieves wire controlled steering through a "redundant design" of dual motors. The biggest feeling when driving is that the wheels turn more sensitively, and the steering wheel can be turned from the leftmost to the rightmost in just one turn. Coupled with the rear wheel steering technology that can reach up to 10 degrees, this nearly 6-meter-long vehicle gives us a feeling of ease in comprehensive bends, snake like cornering, and reverse parking.

As the world's first pure electric pickup truck, it took Tesla four years from release to delivery. At the new car delivery ceremony, Tesla CEO Elon Musk stated that "there is now a car here that was once considered impossible to achieve, and experts say it will never be manufactured," which shows the difficulty of manufacturing the Cyber Land Cruiser. Until today, there are still many consumers waiting for this product to be introduced in China.
On August 13th, CCTV Finance reported that according to foreign media reports, the website of American electric car manufacturer Tesla shows that Tesla has stopped accepting orders for the cheapest version of the electric pickup truck Cybertruck priced at $61000, while the Cybertruck priced at $100000 can be ordered immediately and delivered as early as this month.
On social media platforms, some car dealers have expressed that the Cyber off-road travel vehicle is expected to enter China in the fourth quarter of this year as a parallel import and be registered as a truck with a price tag of 1.95 million yuan, which has attracted attention.
Regarding this, Tesla officials stated that the certification and licensing process for Cyber Off Road vehicles in China is still underway. The staff reminds that if there are dealers who sell on behalf of others, they should pay attention to screening and beware of being deceived.
Would you look forward to the day when this Cyber off-road travel vehicle hits the road in China?
