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.

Musk’s tunneling firm will build a tunnel network in Dubai

Several years ago, Elon Musk presented the idea of creating tunnels across the US, which would be a revolution for public transportation. The first Loop was built under Las Vegas, and now he has floated the idea of ​​building a tunnel in Dubai.

Dubai is home to the world’s tallest building (Burj Khalifa) and other construction projects, and is one of the richest countries that can realize huge infrastructure projects. One of them is certainly the Loop system that will be developed in cooperation with the Dubai Roads & Transport Authority (RTA), which will mark the first expansion of the Boring Company outside the United States.

The plan is for the first Loop to be 17 kilometers long and have 11 stations, with a capacity of more than 20,000 passengers per hour. According to Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Loop will eventually expand to the entire Emirate of Dubai, and when fully completed, the system will enable the transport of more than 100,000 passengers per hour.

There are still many unknowns about this project, and what we do know for now is that, like in Las Vegas, the Loop will use only electric vehicles. Although the Boring Company did not specify which models are involved, many believe that they will be the new Tesla Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck. Some believe that the recently introduced Robovan could also be used. The vehicles will reach speeds of up to 160 km/h, and whether they will use a fully autonomous driving system or will rely on human operators like in Las Vegas is currently unknown.
