Tesla Cybertruck: A journey to the forefront of disruptive automotive technology
Release Date:2023-12-19
Tesla recently held a technical open interview, revealing the innovative aspects of its cars in terms of technology and design. Here's a more detailed summary of this interview regarding Cybertruck's body structure, physical part design, and Ethernet technology:
1. Innovation in Ethernet Technology and Architecture Design
Cybertruck's Ethernet Loop, unlike the traditional CAN Bus, utilizes a software-defined system and TDMA Network technology, achieving time-sliced and delay-free effects. This technology connects gigabit Ethernet to high-speed connectors in the vehicle, significantly reducing the number and length of automotive cables, offering a fresh perspective on body structure design.
2. Future Trend: The Lead of 48V Voltage
Cybertruck's power converter supports bidirectional transformation, upgrading the vehicle power from 12V to 48V, which might become a mainstream trend in future automotive power systems. Considering the noise issues of high-voltage power systems, engineers believe it's worth it to add two more wires for a quieter AC system.
3. Smart Functionality and Efficiency Optimization
When the battery is low, Cybertruck has a smart start function, enabling it to restart by connecting to another vehicle's battery. The 48V system design not only reduces heat generation and current transmission but also brings a smaller radiator, achieving more efficient heat management.
4. Optimized Controller Structure and Battery Innovation
Cybertruck's controller uses standard twisted-pair shielded cables but aims for a more compact connector structure to minimize space occupancy. The vehicle's power conversion system employs surface-mount soldering and through-hole-free technology, integrating power input and output in one module, supporting batteries of both 400V and 800V.
Tesla's Cybertruck sets a new benchmark in the automotive industry with its technological innovations and design philosophy. These cutting-edge technologies and innovative designs pose new challenges and opportunities for automotive connector manufacturers, marking a new height in automotive technology.
