• 0:09
  Hi, and welcome back to the Elon Musk podcast where we delve into
• 0:13
  the latest Innovations and advancements brought to you by
• 0:16
  Tesla, and the Visionary founder himself Elon Musk.
• 0:20
  In today's episode, we'll be exploring the groundbreaking 48
• 0:24
  volt electrical architecture of the highly anticipated.
• 0:27
  Tesla cyber truck. This revolutionary technology is
• 0:31
  set to transform the automotive landscape offering improved
• 0:34
  efficiency handling and production proficiency a join us
• 0:38
  as we discuss How Tesla's unique approach to vertical
• 0:41
  integration, manufacturing, expertise and organizational
• 0:45
  structure has allowed for a seamless transition to this
• 0:49
  pioneering. Technology will also touch on
• 0:52
  the exclusive secret accessories.
• 0:54
  Team, working behind the scenes to create bespoke products for
• 0:59
  the 48 volt system. Now, ever since its introduction
• 1:04
  in 2019, the Tesla cyber truck has consistently drawn
• 1:08
  attention. Within the automotive sphere,
• 1:11
  its distinctive cold-rolled stainless steel exoskeleton in
• 1:15
  cutting-edge production techniques have fueled ongoing
• 1:18
  interest despite numerous postponements for its release.
• 1:23
  Now fans of the vehicle are constantly on the hunt for the
• 1:26
  newest updates in the recent investor day presentations, have
• 1:30
  sustained, a long-rumored Innovation, the Cyber trucks. 48
• 1:36
  volt electric structure now while the E8 V structure and a
• 1:41
  systems have seen partial implementation in mild hybrid
• 1:45
  vehicles particularly for high demand components.
• 1:48
  The Cyber truck is making a significant advancement by
• 1:51
  substituting the conventional 12-volt system.
• 1:54
  Now traditional 12 volt systems, necessitate a larger heavier
• 1:59
  wiring and components to accommodate High electrical
• 2:03
  demands, conversely. The 48 volt system, manages High
• 2:06
  demands more efficiently, diminishing Size and weight of
• 2:10
  wiring and ultimately enhancing vehicle performance handling and
• 2:15
  production proficiency. Now, established carmakers have
• 2:19
  been hesitant to fully Embrace 48 volt technology primarily due
• 2:24
  to their dependence on third-party suppliers, ume to
• 2:27
  find it challenging to quickly adapt to new system.
• 2:30
  Voltage in a recent Auto line, daily interview, Sandy Monroe,
• 2:35
  and emphasize that although everyone has been discussing
• 2:38
  this for 30 years. Ears Tesla's.
• 2:41
  The first to bring it to Mark into fruition in Cory Steuben.
• 2:47
  President of Monroe and Associates.
• 2:49
  Argues that manufacturers and suppliers will inevitably have
• 2:52
  to transition to 48 volts either.
• 2:54
  The customer will pay for the car.
• 2:56
  Maker will accept the profit loss of not adopting 48 volts.
• 3:01
  And as more automakers acknowledged, the advantages of
• 3:04
  a 48 volt system will likely feel pressure to invest in the
• 3:08
  required technology. Energy and infrastructure to
• 3:11
  facilitate the switch or else risk losing market.
• 3:14
  Share and also profitability Tesla's vertical, integration
• 3:19
  manufacturing, prowess and organizational.
• 3:21
  Framework Heaven down. The electric car maker with
• 3:24
  unparalleled flexibility to design and fabricate their own
• 3:28
  highly integrated components internally.
• 3:30
  This allows for a rapid shift to the 48 volt system, granting
• 3:34
  Tesla a unique advantage in the marketplace and incorporating
• 3:38
  the 48 volt system. Mmm in the Cyber truck yields
• 3:41
  multiple benefits, such as more efficient power distribution and
• 3:45
  management of higher, electrical demands with smaller cables.
• 3:49
  Now, this leads to reduced overall weight and increased
• 3:52
  efficiency gains, additionally, Tesla's choice to employ.
• 3:56
  A 48 volt system offers a noteworthy advantage in terms of
• 4:00
  accessories and additional features for the Cyber truck
• 4:04
  according to Matthew Donegan Rihanna, TSLA retail Who
• 4:09
  conversed with Tesla Executives at our recent investor day at
• 4:12
  the company's. Austin base said, Tesla has a
• 4:15
  secret accessories team dedicated to creating products.
• 4:19
  Explicitly for the 48. Volt architecture, like lighting
• 4:23
  winches and air compressors and these products are engineered to
• 4:27
  seamlessly integrate with a cyber truck systems, providing
• 4:31
  customers with extensive range of high quality accessories,
• 4:35
  tailored to the vehicles abilities.
• 4:37
  And with this strategy, Tesla not Not only aspires to deliver
• 4:41
  a superior product to explain until, but also generates new
• 4:44
  Revenue sources and fortifies, its brand image as an innovator
• 4:49
  and a design leader, cyber truck, fans site, cyber truck
• 4:53
  owners club.com members have eagerly speculated about this
• 4:56
  development. Hoping the secret accessories
• 4:59
  team will take some of their ideas into consideration though.
• 5:02
  The 48 volt system offers benefits in terms of efficiency
• 5:06
  and weight reduction, it also induces new Obstacles concerning
• 5:10
  complexity and safety. These challenges might Encompass
• 5:14
  the necessity for novel safety features to guard against
• 5:17
  electrical shock and the hesitancy and reluctance of
• 5:21
  Legacy manufacturers to fully adopt 48 volt systems for
• 5:25
  Consumer accessible parts of the vehicle are likely due to these
• 5:29
  potential challenges. And the adoption of 48 volt,
• 5:34
  electrical infrastructure in the Cyber truck.
• 5:36
  Symbolizes major advancement in the automotive industry,
• 5:39
  aligning with Tesla's mission to expedite, the global shift
• 5:43
  towards sustainable energy, and transportation, and to, by
• 5:47
  developing and producing their own components.
• 5:49
  Internally, Tesla can smoothly transition to this pioneering
• 5:53
  technology. Securing a distinct Edge in the
• 5:55
  market. The 48 volt, electrical
• 5:58
  infrastructure, introduces, new challenges, and Icing complexity
• 6:02
  and enhancing safety. However, Tesla's implementation
• 6:05
  of this technology in the Cyber Czech.
• 6:07
  Significant significantly has Progressive and crucial motives
• 6:13
  for the automotive sector and with our vertical integration,
• 6:17
  their expertise Tesla's going to produce rapid iteration and
• 6:23
  Rapid transformation and transition to this 48 volt
• 6:27
  system. Now they're going to reduce the
• 6:29
  weight of their vehicles, they're going to increase the
• 6:31
  efficiency of their vehicles and eventually the 48 volt system
• 6:36
  will be in every single Tesla vehicle, my future and the
• 6:41
  secret Associates team. The dedicated to making these
• 6:45
  new products. This approach, not only offers a
• 6:49
  superior product to customers, but also generates brand new
• 6:53
  Revenue sources, and reinforces Tesla's, brand image as a leader
• 6:57
  in innovation. Design.
• 6:59
  So what we're asking the community here is what do you
• 7:04
  think is going to be the first accessory for the Cyber truck?
• 7:08
  Is it going to be a winch? Is it going to be an air
• 7:10
  compressor? Is it going to be something
• 7:12
  else? We aren't 100% sure right now
• 7:15
  but what we do know is that those things are rumoured and
• 7:18
  there's a possibility that we could get one on launch day on
• 7:21
  the Tesla.com website and as traditional automaker is grapple
• 7:26
  with adapting to these new techniques and 48 volt systems.
• 7:32
  This vertical integration from Tesla is seen is the most
• 7:36
  important factor when they're manufacturing their vehicles,
• 7:41
  the organizational structure is seamless and they will continue
• 7:46
  to be a thought leader and a product developer.
• 7:49
  That's not seen any place else for a very long time and they
• 7:54
  continue to invest in the research and development and
• 7:58
  their Well, positioned of and maintain the lead for a very
• 8:02
  long time, in the EV space. So they're going to be playing a
• 8:05
  pivotal role in the world shift towards a sustainable energy
• 8:08
  future in the next 10 15, 20 50 years to come.
