EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) has introduced a winter tire package for its Cybertruck in its online shop for $3,000 ahead of the impending temperature drop.
What Happened: The Cybertruck Cyber Wheel and Winter Tire Package is aimed at providing increased traction, stability, and braking efficiency in low temperatures. The package includes 4 units each of wheels, specialized tires, and tire pressure sensors.
Last month, Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill gave his recommendations for tires on the Cybertruck and said that all-terrain tires are typically better than all-season tires in snow. However, neither is ideal, he noted, while adding that the company would offer a winter tire package "soon."
"That said, a 3-peak rated tire will be best in snow. Tesla will offer a 3-peak winter tire package on the shop for those looking for the best winter performance," he wrote on social media platform X.
Why It Matters: Last year, videos emerged on social media alleging that the Cybertruck struggles in snow. Tesla CEO Elon Musk refuted this, claiming that the truck is "excellent" in snow.
However, during the last winter, only a few Cybertrucks were on the road as the company started deliveries in late November. This year, the company will have more Cybertruck vehicles and drivers on the road.
Tesla is currently ramping up Cybertruck production, aiming to deliver 250,000 units starting in 2025. According to Kelley Blue Book estimates, Tesla sold 8,755 Cybertrucks in the second quarter in the U.S., and 2,803 in the first quarter.

特斯拉(納斯達克股票代碼:TSLA)巨頭推出了一款冬季輪胎套裝,售價爲3000美元,在其在線商店中提供,以迎接即將到來的溫度下降。
事件經過:Cybertruck Cyber Wheel和Winter Tire Package旨在在低溫下提供更好的牽引力,穩定性和制動效率。該套裝包括4個輪胎,專用輪胎和胎壓傳感器每種4個單位。
上個月,Cybertruck首席工程師韋斯·莫里爾(Wes Morrill)爲Cybertruck上的輪胎提出了建議,並表示在雪地中,全地形輪胎通常比全季節輪胎更好。但是,他指出,兩者都不理想,同時補充說公司將會盡快提供一套冬季輪胎套裝。
他在社交媒體平台X上寫道:「也就是說,在雪地中,3雪峯評級輪胎是最好的選擇。特斯拉將在商店中提供一套3雪峯冬季輪胎套裝,供那些尋求最佳冬季性能的人購買。」
爲什麼這很重要:去年,社交媒體上出現了視頻聲稱Cybertruck在雪地中遇到困難。特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克(Elon Musk)否認了這一說法,稱該卡車在雪地中表現「出色」。
然而,在上個冬季,由於特斯拉在11月下旬才開始交付,上路的Cybertruck只有很少。而今年,該公司將有更多的Cybertruck汽車和駕駛員在路上。
特斯拉目前正在加大Cybertruck的生產力度,計劃從2025年開始交付25萬輛。根據Kelley Blue Book的估計,特斯拉在第二季度在美國銷售了8755輛Cybertruck,第一季度銷售了2803輛。
