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.
特斯拉不会让车主拆卸不带去的电池组，而是不违反安全规定的情况下将其固定在车身上。
What Happened: "...any range extender offered by Tesla will be structurally mounted so it's safe in a crash," Morrill wrote on X.
Morrill在Twitter上写道：“特斯拉提供的任何电池增程器都将被结构性地安装，以便在撞车时保持安全。”
No, any range extender offered by Tesla will be structurally mounted so it's safe in a crash

不，特斯拉提供的所有电池增程器都将被结构性地安装，以便在撞车时保持安全。

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.
“增程器”是Cybertruck的备用电池组，大约是车厢的三分之一大小。马斯克在Cybertruck交付活动后表示，增加的电池仍会为大量货物留下空间，而且只会在长途旅行或拖拉重物上陡峭的山地时使用。
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.
特斯拉表示，装有增程器的四轮驱动版本的Cybertruck可以提供估计总里程为470英里，而Cyberbeast版本可以提供超过440英里的最大里程。没有增程器，这两个版本的续航里程分别为340英里和320英里。然而，额外的电池是单独销售的，并需要单独安装。
Tesla, however, has yet to launch the product or reveal its pricing. In June, Morrill said that the range extender is "on track."
然而，特斯拉尚未推出该产品或披露其定价。6月，Morrill表示，增程器正在按计划进行。
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.
为什么重要：特斯拉在去年11月开始交付Cybertruck。该公司目前正在努力进一步增加产量，以在2025年开始以每年交付250,000辆。
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.
马斯克在特斯拉的年度股东大会上表示，该公司已达到每周生产1300辆Cybertruck的速率。该公司正在努力在今年进一步增加产量，以在年底达到2,500单位。
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.
在特斯拉上季度财报电话会议上，特斯拉表示，由于增加产量和降低成本的尝试，Cybertruck产量计划在年底实现盈利。
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.
根据凯利蓝皮书的估计，特斯拉在该季度在美国售出了8,755辆Cybertruck，而第一季度仅售出了2,803辆，该季度销量排名第二的电动皮卡是F-150 Lightning，福特公司仅售出了7,902辆。
