Senior Tesla Executive Reveals Cybertruck Range Extender Will Not Be Removable To Avoid Safety Risks
Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill on Saturday said that the range extender offered by Tesla Inc. for the stainless steel truck will not be removable by vehicle owners but structurally mounted owing to safety concerns.
Cybertruck首席工程師韋斯·莫里爾週六表示，出於安全考慮，特斯拉公司爲不鏽鋼卡車提供的增程器將無法由車主拆卸，而是在結構上進行安裝。
What Happened: "...any range extender offered by Tesla will be structurally mounted so it's safe in a crash," Morrill wrote on X.
發生了什麼：“... 特斯拉提供的任何增程器都將採用結構安裝，因此在碰撞時是安全的，” 莫里爾在X上寫道。

The "range extender" is an alternate battery pack for the Cybertruck about the size of a third of the truck bed. The additional battery will still leave room for plenty of cargo, Musk said after the Cybertruck delivery event in November while adding that it is meant for very long trips or towing heavy things up mountains.
“續航里程擴展器” 是Cybertruck的備用電池組，大小約爲卡車底盤的三分之一。馬斯克在11月的Cybertruck交付活動後表示，額外的電池仍將爲充足的貨物留出空間，同時補充說，它適用於長途旅行或將重物拖到山上。
According to Tesla, the all-wheel drive version of the Cybertruck can offer an estimated 470 miles of total range with a range extender while the Cyberbeast version can offer a maximum range of over 440 miles. Without the extender, the two versions offer a range of 340 miles and 320 miles, respectively. However, the additional battery is sold separately and requires a separate installation.
根據特斯拉的說法，Cybertruck的全輪驅動版本使用續航里程擴展器估計可以提供470英里的總續航里程，而Cybeast版本的最大續航里程可以超過440英里。如果沒有擴展器，這兩個版本的續航里程分別爲 340 英里和 320 英里。但是，額外的電池單獨出售，需要單獨安裝。
Tesla, however, has yet to launch the product or reveal its pricing. In June, Morrill said that the range extender is "on track."
但是，特斯拉尚未推出該產品或透露其定價。莫里爾在6月表示，增程器 “步入正軌”。
Why It Matters: Tesla started delivering the Cybertruck in November last year. The company is currently attempting to further ramp up production to deliver 250,000 units annually starting in 2025.
爲何重要：特斯拉於去年11月開始交付Cybertruck。該公司目前正試圖進一步提高產量，從2025年開始每年交付25萬台。
Tesla has touched a weekly production rate of 1,300 Cybertrucks, Musk said at Tesla's annual shareholder meeting in early June. The company is looking to increase it further this year to touch 2,500 units by year-end, he then added.
馬斯克在6月初的特斯拉年度股東大會上表示，特斯拉的每週產量已達到1300輛Cybertruck。他隨後補充說，該公司計劃在今年進一步提高銷量，到年底達到2,500台。
During Tesla's second-quarter earnings call last week, Tesla said that Cybertruck production is on track to achieve profitability by the end of the year, thanks to an increase in production and attempts at reducing costs.
在上週特斯拉第二季度業績電話會議上，特斯拉表示，由於產量的增加和降低成本的嘗試，Cybertruck的生產有望在年底之前實現盈利。
According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, Tesla sold 8,755 Cybertrucks in the quarter in the U.S., as compared to just 2,803 in the first quarter. The second best-selling EV truck in the quarter was the F-150 Lightning, of which Ford sold just 7,902 units.
根據凱利藍皮書的估計，特斯拉在本季度在美國售出了8,755輛Cybertruck，而第一季度僅售出了2,803輛。本季度第二暢銷的電動卡車是 F-150 Lightning，其中福特僅售出了7,902輛。
