They say that if Lego and can manufacturers can do it, Tesla must be able to do it too.

Elon Musk recently took to Twitter to show off the Tesla Cybertruck electric pickup, which is said to be a “production candidate.” For many, it was another positive sign that Tesla will actually have time to start production of the car before the end of the year. But observant observers noticed several startling details.

Although it was supposed to be a candidate for a production vehicle, even from a distance you can see a rather significant gap between the front fender and the door. The place where the front bumper meets the lights also looks a bit loose. Again, there is a distinct joint here.

At the same time, we are not too surprised by something similar with Tesla electric cars. Despite the sophisticated technique and modern technologies, the various models caught criticism precisely for the somewhat sloppy production quality, including the not very convincing fitment of some parts. But Musk is probably also aware of the problem.

A message appeared on the Internet forum Cybertruck Owners Club that Elon Musk was supposed to send to Tesla employees. In its content, Musk emphasizes that the Cybertruck, due to the nature of its shapes and materials used for production, should be manufactured with an emphasis on maximum precision. Literally down to micrometers.

The email, a screenshot of which can be found in the gallery, reads:

“Due to the nature of the Cybertruck, which is made of mostly straight-edged metal, any dimensional deviation is visible in the palm of your hand.

All parts for this vehicle, whether in-house or from suppliers, must be designed and manufactured to an accuracy of less than 10 microns.

This means that all part dimensions must be given to the third decimal place in millimeters and tolerances must be specified in single digit micrometers. If LEGO can do it and soda cans, which are very cheap, so can we.

Accuracy presupposes perfectionism.

Elon”

So it seems that Elon Musk wants to avoid situations where older models of the automaker were criticized precisely because of various manufacturing imperfections. However, for the team at the Giga Factory in Texas, where the Tesla Cybertruck will be produced, it means that the people responsible for the quality of production will have to (finally) start paying close attention to what they put out into the world for customers.

After all, the comparison with Lego kits and drinking cans may sound funny, but in both cases very strict production tolerances are observed during production. And this regardless of the price, which is actually ridiculous compared to an electric futuristic pick-up.

Tesla is currently testing the first pieces of the Cybetruck around the world. It is said to be one of the most unique products in the automotive industry in the last decade

At the regular conference regarding the results for the second quarter of this year, Tesla announced several interesting information and the Cybertruck model was also mentioned.

Earlier this week, the automaker shared a commemorative photo of the first mass-produced pick-up at the Texas gigafactory on its Twitter account. Currently, production in a very limited mode (or pre-production production) continues and the finished cars then travel to all corners of the world for final certification.

„The Cybertruck remains on track to begin full production at the Texas gigafactory later this year. We are now testing cars all over the world for final certification and validation. This is one of the most unique products in the field of the automotive industry in the last decade, and it is also related to the testing and testing of new technologies,” was heard at the conference.

New images have also been released showing the electric pickup in various stages of testing as well as on the assembly line in Texas. For understandable reasons, a small controversy is once again spreading on the Internet, this time regarding wipers.

In one photo, the Cybertruck drives through a kind of mud pit, while a single wiper removes dirt from the windshield, the range of which is quite limiting even for the driver himself. It basically creates one small window in the lower left corner (from the driver’s perspective), which can be quite insufficient in certain situations. Hopefully, this deficiency will be eliminated in pre-production.
