Cybertruck range increase!

[Sudarstark]

I was listening to Ride the Lightning podcast yesterday. They talked about the new battery cells. The most impressive part was the range increase on the Tri-motor Cybertruck.

He has a source stating that the Tri-motor variant would be having a 560 mile range with the new 4680 cells. He also said that "It may be more than 560 miles by the production".

His source also said that the steering wheel has been changed from the prototype. 

 

Let's assume Cybertruck is having 580 miles of range. Add the optional solar panel in the back to increase range. I'm very excited to see the range of the Cybertruck.

Note: Take everything with a grain of salt.

Im sorry but laws of physics denies that one. Tesla has lots of zealous followers, some stock market players and some fangirls. I wouldnt believe anything I hear about tesla vehicles until cars are tested by independent parties.

I’ve got a pre-order in on a cyber truck but I watched a video on the plant that is supposed to build them and the thing is nothing but a cleared area of dirt.  Speculating on cybertruck range seems premature to me.   Cybertruck future existence cannot even be confirmed at this time. Battery technology will improve over time. This is reasonable. I suspect battery pack size would go down before a 560 mile range is implemented though. They haven’t even built the plant to build the truck yet, let alone building the truck.
