In a groundbreaking patent recently obtained by our sources, Tesla has unveiled never-before-seen details about the highly anticipated Cybertruck’s tailgate. This patent sheds light on a remarkable power tailgate mechanism that will revolutionize the way drivers interact with the rear door panels of this all-electric pickup truck.
According to the patent, the Tesla Cybertruck will feature an advanced button or switch system that enables seamless opening and closing of the tailgate. This cutting-edge technology will grant Cybertruck owners unprecedented control over their vehicle’s rear section, with the ability to manipulate the tailgate via a smartphone or a wireless key fob.
The patent’s summary highlights the key components of this ingenious system: “An aspect is directed to a system for moving a hinge between an open position and a closed position. The hinge coupling a closure panel to a body. The system comprises an actuator for driving the closure panel between the open position and the closed position relative to the body and a counterweight member for reducing a mechanical effort provided by the actuator to drive the closure panel.”
Excitement is building as Tesla’s Gigafactory Texas gears up for the imminent production of the Cybertruck. Sources within the company have confirmed that Tesla has been in contact with its Cybertruck suppliers, assessing production capacity to meet the unprecedented demand. With plans to manufacture a staggering 375,000 units annually, Tesla is poised to make a significant impact on the electric vehicle market.
During Tesla’s Annual Shareholders Meeting earlier this year, CEO Elon Musk shared his optimistic projections for the Cybertruck’s production numbers. Musk estimated that once production stabilizes, Tesla could potentially manufacture between 250,000 to 500,000 Cybertruck units annually. This ambitious target reflects Tesla’s determination to establish the Cybertruck as a dominant force in the electric pickup truck segment.
As the automotive world eagerly awaits the launch of the Tesla Cybertruck, this latest patent disclosure has only heightened the anticipation. With its groundbreaking power tailgate mechanism, Tesla continues to push the boundaries of innovation, solidifying its position as a pioneer in the electric vehicle industry.
