Tesla Cybertruck seen near BMW’s Munich R&D center – for teardown?

Tesla Cybertruck seen near BMW’s Munich R&D center – for teardown?

A photograph of a giant and conspicuously triangle-shaped car in Munich, close to BMW’s Analysis and Innovation Heart, has surfaced on the web, suggesting the German automaker is doing a teardown of the newly-released Tesla Cybertruck.

Now that the Cybertruck is out, sightings aren’t all that unusual, particularly in California and Texas the place a lot of the autos are being delivered.

However one place that Cybertrucks nonetheless aren’t frequent is Europe, the place it isn’t offered (and it’s unlikely that the car will ever be offered attributable to its dimension and the chance that its excessive and boxy front-end wouldn’t go pedestrian security laws).

So think about the shock when a flatbed automotive transporter was noticed with a coated(-but-really-you-can-tell-what’s-under-there), triangle-shaped car in Munich, simply down the highway from BMW.

The images had been posted by Nextmove, a German EV rental firm that additionally has an energetic youtube channel posting details about EVs. Right here’s an embed of the video, deep-linked to the portion in query (images begin at 27:36):

The images had been despatched in by a viewer who says they had been taken on April 4 at round 7:45am on the nook of Schleichheimerstrasse and Frankfurter Ring, coming from the course of BMW’s Analysis and Innovation Heart. The situation is certainly only one block away from a number of BMW services, as you may see on this map of the realm:

Now perhaps that is all only a loopy coincidence, nevertheless it appears fairly probably that BMW purchased this truck, in all probability for teardown functions. Which is fascinating, provided that BMW doesn’t make vehicles (although it does make SUVs).

However regardless of their lack of pickup vehicles, BMW might be nonetheless all in favour of seeing a number of the new applied sciences that Tesla is working with within the Cybertruck. Regardless of the car being a… let’s say “assertion,” it’s filled with quantity of tech that the automotive trade has been speaking about for a very long time, however which heretofore has been seen in few or no completed autos.

This contains issues like 48-Volt structure and steer-by-wire, and another applied sciences which are on some autos however nonetheless moderately new, like Tesla’s bigger 4680 cell format and Powershare bidirectional charging. Tesla additionally initially promised to make use of a novel “exoskeleton”-style chassis, although because the truck obtained nearer to manufacturing that appears prefer it didn’t fairly pan out the way in which we imagined – however we’re certain BMW is all in favour of seeing what’s beneath that pores and skin anyway.

This isn’t the primary time we’ve seen Cybertrucks within the possession of different automakers, and it is not uncommon for automakers to acquire new autos from different automakers to allow them to take them aside and see what the competitors is as much as.

Final month, a Cybertruck was noticed outdoors Ford’s proving grounds in Detroit, and reportedly the automaker paid fairly a reasonably penny for it. Early Cybertrucks offered for nearly 1 / 4 million {dollars} on the secondary market, regardless of Tesla’s risk to promote early consumers who flip their vehicles. To this point, Tesla hasn’t adopted by way of on this risk with a lawsuit, nevertheless it has blacklisted a minimum of one proprietor after he listed his on the market, and as extra vehicles have gotten out, the resale market has cooled from its preliminary excessive highs.

However then, even that quarter million quantity might be low in comparison with what BMW may need paid. In February, a Cybertruck was listed on the secondhand market in Germany for a cool €485k, so both a wealthy fanatic wantsa triangle to embellish their storage, or a wealthy German automaker wished to be the primary to test it out. We hope they realized lots for that type of cash.
