Внешний вид кибергрузовика Robotaxi - это только кожа, но в нем установлен самый большой экран на автомобиле Tesla

Elon Musk postponed Tesla's "We, Robot" event where it unveiled the Robotaxi in order to make a few changes to the front design.

If those were intended to make it look like a Cybertruck with the light bar headlights and all, the mission was accomplished. It is not just the front, though, as the entire Robotaxi brings Cybertruck-ish references as its silvery shine makes it look like it is made of stainless steel.

The whole Cyber-esque vibe is only skin deep, however, as it turned out that the futuristic Robotaxi design is achieved with simple aluminum panels that are painted to glisten like the stainless steel of the Cybertruck. The self-driving Robovan exudes a similar feel with a whiff of an Airstream trailer, but it is also not stainless steel. 

Tesla's chief designer Franz von Holzhausen went on record during the Robotaxi unveiling event saying that it would've been just too costly to build it with stainless steel and would defeat the purpose of outing Tesla's first sub-$30,000 vehicle.

Another way that Tesla has achieved this low Robotaxi cost, besides the obvious savings from the lack of rear seat, pedals, or a steering wheel, is the battery capacity. The Robotaxi will have a range of about 200 miles from a roughly 40 kWh battery, the smallest on a Tesla.

The wheel of the Robotaxi are also made to look disproportionately large and futuristic by simply painting half of the tires in the wheel caps' color, making the 21-inch Continentals look much lower profile than they actually are.

Where Tesla didn't skimp on Robotaxi expenses, though, is its main central console screen. With its 21-inch diagonal, it is the largest display Tesla has ever put in one of its vehicles.

The panel size is a testament to the infotainment chops of the purpose built autonomous Robotaxi that would allow one to watch movies or browse while the car is driving them to their destination. For comparison, the second-largest display on a Tesla belongs to the Cybertruck, but its "infinity touchscreen" is only 18.5-inches in diagonal.
