Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Tesla's Cybertruck is speculated to weigh less than Rivian's R1T and GM's Hummer EV, according to teardown experts Sandy Munro and Cory Steuben. The Cybertruck's weight is estimated to be around 6,800 pounds, compared to Rivian R1T's weight of over 7,000 pounds and Hummer's 9,000 pounds. The lighter weight is attributed to the Cybertruck's efficient structural battery pack and the absence of a frame. The Cybertruck is expected to boost Tesla's volume when production ramps up in 2024.
