Expert Solution

Tesla Cyber Truck is undoubtedly going to disrupt the traditional trucking industry due to its most advanced electric vehicle powertrain and battery technology---Here, it can be understood by comparing the Tesla Cybertruck TRI MOTOR AWD Vs Ford F-150 Platinum v6 HYBRID 4WD

Tesla Cybertruck TRI MOTOR AWD Vs Ford F-150 Platinum v6 HYBRID 4WD.
1.COST $69,900 $69,000
MODEL Tesla Cybertruck TRI MOTOR AWD Vs Ford F-150 Platinum v6 HYBRID 4WD.
YEAR Yr 2021 Yr 2021
BED LENGTH 78' (6.5') 5.5' to 8'
PAYLOAD 3,500 lbs 1,142 to 2309 lbs
CLEARANCE 16" 9-10"

.

Build Quality---Tesla Cybertruck is having stainless steel body that is search resistant and dent-proof and is more like a bulletproof body.

While Ford F-150 is having an alloy body that can be easily scratched and dented.

Battery Capacity- Tesla runs on battery capacity and doesn't produce pollution while Ford f-150 runs on Gas generator and is always loud and polluting the environment.

Tesla is having a bed capacity. Adaptive air suspension system which helps in load balance handling which will dynamically adjust the front and rear of the truck even with a four payload.

Traditional truck systems don't have an air suspension system and have to compromise on either the ride comfort or on the payload.

In Tesla Cyberduck,a Flip Flop,a small section that flips up from the inside to the tailgate when it's flat, to act as a shop for the goods being carried is given.

In Ford F-15o , or in the traditional truck it's not given.

In Tesla Cybertruck, the rear window could roll down into the rear wall and the whole wall fold in on top of the folded rear seats. Such systems not found in the traditional truck.

Tesla Cybertruck is more aerodynamic than any other truck.

Tail Pipe emission is not in the Tesla Cybertruck while in traditional truck it's found. So harmful emission is not emitted through Tesla Cybrtruck.

So, on the basis of above comparison ,it's clear that Tesla Cybertruck will be a clear winner.

Tesla Motors entered the market with their first electric vehicle called Roadster in 2008. As the company was still young, their development was based on existing technology of Lotus Elise, an existing car model made in UK. The Roadster was a two-seater sports car and was only manufactured for a few years until it was discontinued due to poor sales. During that time, the Roadster was sold for 100,000 USD as an innovative electric two-seat sporty car for car enthusiasts....

Imagine that a company has developed an advanced technology that allows it to reduce its data center requirements by an unprecedented amount, and creates a competitive advantage for the company in the data center market. Why should it share that technology with other data center firms? If this firm does not share its techniques, the rest of the industry will continue to operate less efficient centers, and increase global emissions of green house gases above what they would otherwise be.
