Elon Musk's New Cybercab Does Not Have Stainless Steel Exterior Panels Like Cybertruck Despite Other Resemblances, Says Tesla Engineer: 'Mass And Cost...Is Undesirable'
Though Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) 2-seater Cybercab resembles the Cybertruck in its external structure and color, the vehicle does not have stainless steel exterior panels, according to an X account seemingly belonging to the company's engineer Eric E.
根据一个看似属于该公司工程师埃里克·E的X账户，尽管特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）的2人座Cybercab在外部结构和颜色上与Cybertruck相似，但该车辆没有不锈钢外部面板。
What Happened: "Exterior panels are not stainless steel. Mass and cost of SS (stainless steel) is undesirable on our high-efficiency Robotaxi," an X profile wrote on social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
发生了什么：“外板不是不锈钢。在我们的高效Robotaxi上，SS（不锈钢）的质量和成本是不可取的。” X的一位个人资料在社交媒体平台X（前身为Twitter）上写道。
The X profile seemingly belongs to Eric E, Principal Mechanical Design Engineer at the company. However, the profile is not verified on X or marked as affiliated with Tesla.
X 配置文件似乎属于该公司的首席机械设计工程师 Eric E。但是，该个人资料未在X上进行验证或标记为与特斯拉有关联。
Tesla did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment.

Small correction. Exterior panels are not stainless steel. Mass and cost of SS is undesirable on our high efficiency Robotaxi.

Why It Matters: Tesla unveiled the Cybercab dedicated to autonomous driving at an event near Los Angeles on Thursday. The 2-seater vehicle, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, will be priced under $30,000 and start production in 2026.
为何重要：特斯拉周四在洛杉矶附近的一次活动中推出了专门用于自动驾驶的Cybercab。特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克表示，这款2人座汽车的价格将低于3万美元，并于2026年开始生产。
At first glance, the exterior design of the Cybercab resembles the Cybertruck's angular and steel body. The images shared by Tesla also show a metallic finish, leading to speculations that the exterior panels on the vehicle are made of stainless steel like the Cybertruck.
乍一看，Cybercab的外观设计类似于Cybertruck的棱角分明的钢制车身。特斯拉分享的图像还显示了金属表面处理，这使人们猜测车辆的外部面板像Cybertruck一样由不锈钢制成。
The Cybertruck with its stainless steel exoskeleton is, however, a higher-end EV product. The foundation series version of the Cybertruck starts at about $100,000.
但是，带有不锈钢外骨骼的Cybertruck是一款高端的电动汽车产品。Cybertruck的基础系列版本起价约为10万美元。
