Tesla Cybertruck Widebody Billion Edition

Leave a comment

Mexican company Billion Group, the first choice for exotic car owners looking for uncompromising quality and style, has unveiled a modified Tesla Cybertruck with a wide body kit.

On its Instagram profile @billionedition, the tuner posted several photos of the Tesla Cybertruck. The photos show that the stainless steel body is covered in a glossy black foil, which we can say doesn’t look bad on an electric pickup. The tuner added fender extensions, and on the passenger side there is a battery charging port, so the tuner probably had to extend some cables. Also on the front extensions are a pair of rear-facing cameras.

The new front bumper is positioned slightly lower than the standard Cybertruck, and the car also gets a new set of 26-inch aftermarket wheels in black, a large fixed rear spoiler, and new LED front lighting that features the Mexican tuner’s logo.

Tesla Cybertruck is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h).

The price of the upgrade is not known.

Four new Tesla Cybertrucks burned in the fire

Leave a comment

Tesla Cybertruck has attracted a lot of attention since its launch, and the company has received nearly 2 million orders before it even started deliveries. Their vehicles have often been the subject of criticism especially when it comes to safety issues. However, a few days ago at the company’s storage in Seattle, four brand new Cybertrucks caught fire.

On March 9, around 11:00 p.m., firefighters received a call about a fire at a Tesla warehouse and shortly after arrival, the fire was brought under control. Fortunately, apart from the four Cybertrucks, there was no further damage.

Tesla has had problems with battery-related fires in the past, which is considered the reason in this case as well. Police have launched an investigation, but it is not yet known what caused the fire.

Some rumors suggest that someone started the fire, as dissatisfaction grows with Musk’s role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is pushing for a large number of federal layoffs and budget cuts.

In the last month, there have been several attacks on Tesla showrooms, charging stations and even private vehicles. A shooting occurred at a Tesla dealership in Tigard, Oregon, and one person was arrested in Salem for a similar attack.

Tesla has not yet commented on the incident.

Mansory Elongation based on the Tesla Cybertruck

Almost six years ago, Tesla unveiled its battery electric pickup truck, the Cybertruck, which Elon Musk said that it packs a lot of technology and it doesn’t look like any other vehicle out there today. Now, German tuner Mansory has unveiled its own version, the Mansory Elongation.

The Elongation is equipped with forged carbon components that replace some of the original steel panels, but also give it a more aggressive look. These include new fenders, a hood with a vent, a sporty bumper with an integrated splitter and a set of LED roof lights, new side mirrors, sills and false windows with a vent, two spoilers on the corners of the rear, a massive splitter, F1 brake lights and a carbon panel with an illuminated Mansory logo. It sits on black 26-inch FD.15 wheels wrapped in 315/40 R26 high-performance tires.

The interior is upholstered in high-quality leather covering the seats, and there are also plenty of carbon details. Mansory offers a choice of interior colors, and this example is finished in a combination of white, black and green.

When it comes to the powertrain, nothing has been changed. The Elongation is powered by three electric motors with a total output of 805 hp (600 kW) and 1,033 lb-ft (1,400 Nm), which is enough to push the car to 62 mph in just 3 seconds with a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h).

The price of the upgrade is unknown.
