Tesla Cybertruck Teardown Finds Massive Battery Pack Looks Only Half Full

You never have to wait long for another story about the odd engineering choices of theTesla Cybertruck. A new teardown videois going to show that even the angular truck’s massive battery pack seems half finished.

In a video posted to X previewing an upcoming teardown, Sandy Munro and his engineering firm finally get their hands on a Tesla Cybertruck. The whole teardown hasn’t posted yet, but the clip shows Munro’s team opening the Cybertruck’s battery pack and it’s weirdly empty. As the Byte pointed out, this does raise some questions.

Out of all the EV trucks for sale today, the Cybertruck’s 123 kWh battery pack has the smallest energy capacity. This explains why the truck has come up short in testing compared to Tesla’s own estimates. The Cybertruck only hit 254 miles of range in one independent test. It’s also been reported that the range can plunge to just 200 miles without the beds tonneau cover. Owners have been reporting even less range than that.
