Love it or loath it, the Tesla Cybertruck definitely captures the attention of anyone who sees it. So much so that it seems one Tesla competitor has taken to taking one apart to learn everything that it can about the electric pickup truck.
Electrek reports on a new video that has appeared online which seems to show a Tesla Cybertruck Foundation Series EV entering a BYD facility in China.
The video was first posted to the X social network and shows engineers looking the truck over, apparently in an attempt to figure out everything they can about how it works and is put together.
As Electrek notes, BYD and Tesla have a complicated relationship.
BYD is both a competitor and supplier to Tesla. The Chinese mega-corporation is the world’s best-seller of electric vehicles (BEVs and PHEVs), and it is closing in on Tesla for BEVs on top of being the second largest producer of battery cells, which it supplies to Tesla, behind CATL.
The idea of reverse engineering a vehicle is nothing new of course, and BYD is far from the only company that carries out these kinds of processes. It’s something that happens in other technology fields as well.
The Tesla Cybertruck is currently only available in the United States, so it seems BYD imported one into China itself. The EV will likely go on sale internationally in due course, however.
