The anchorman speculates that Cybertruck electric pickups are lighter than Rivian R1T and Hummer EV.
CTOnews.com August 1 news, YouTube channel Munro Live in the latest video, based on Tesla's current official photos, netizens shared spy photos, and previous experience dismantling Model Y, Model 3 cars, predicted Cybertruck may be lighter than its competitors Rivian R1T and Hummer EV.
In the video, Sandy Munro and Cory Steuben analyze a number of casting spy photos exposed in the Texas Super Factory, arguing that Cybertruck has an integrated structure that can further reduce body weight compared to the ladder-shaped frame chassis used by Hummer and Rivian.
CTOnews.com attaches Steuben's opinion here: "This structure, coupled with efficient battery packs, eliminates the need for traditional frames."
Steuben thinks the Cybertruck probably won't weigh less than 6000 pounds, compared to the Rivian R1 T's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 8532 pounds; Hummers reportedly weigh more than 9000 pounds.
