The Cybertruck's Battery Pack Is Half Empty, a Teardown Found

During a Cybertruck teardown, car critic Sandy Munro and his team discovered that the vehicle's massive battery pack is half empty.

During a teardown of the unusual pickup truck by automotive engineer and car expert extraordinaire Sandy Munro and his team, they discovered that the vehicle's massive battery pack is half empty, with tons of space above a layer of cylindrical, lithium-ion 4680 battery cells. "I'd say it's half full..." Cybertruck lead engineer Wes Morrill tweeted in response, confirming that the battery pack is indeed not filling the space. In short, we still don't know why Tesla engineers opted to keep half of the battery pack of the Cybertruck empty, and all we can do at this point is make educated guesses.
