A yoke steering wheel, in theory, could make sense in production car applications but only if used in tandem with a steer-by-wire system. Tesla's application has the yoke connected to the steering column just like a regular wheel, meaning in day-to-day driving it's treated just like a...
Tesla Those looking for more range on either of the two AWD Cybertrucks will be able to opt for a range-extender battery pack that rides in the pickup bed like a toolbox. Tesla estimates a top range up to 470 miles (756 km) with this option. Both AWD variants boast a Ri...
1. Steer by Wire isn’t new. It wasn’t invented by Tesla. If manufacturers wanted to use it they would have. Legacy Truck makers forced Tesla to redesign the Cybertruck from its original concept, including having no Frunk, no RWS, no automatic tailgate. So if you want to use this ...
