Tesla’s Cybertruck has been turning heads for its unconventional design, but it’s the vehicle’s audio system that’s now capturing the attention of audiophiles and tech enthusiasts alike. Reports from early adopters and industry experts suggest that Tesla has set a new benchmark for in-vehicle sound systems with the Cybertruck.
The Cybertruck’s audio system boasts an impressive array of 15 speakers, including two dedicated subwoofers and distributed amplifiers. This configuration delivers a soundstage that’s both wide and immersive, challenging even high-end audio setups found in luxury vehicles with over 25 speakers.
Users report exceptional fidelity across the audio spectrum. The bass is described as deep and rich without muddiness, while the overall sound remains distortion-free even at high volumes. Notably, the absence of rattling plastic components contributes to a pristine listening experience.
Tesla’s audio team has long been praised for their work across the company’s vehicle lineup, but the Cybertruck represents a significant leap forward in their design approach.
A key feature of the Cybertruck’s audio system is its innovative subwoofer design. Initial inspections revealed a surprising configuration: two 8-inch subwoofers housed in small enclosures under the rear seat. However, further investigation uncovered a clever engineering solution.
The subwoofer enclosures are designed to mate tightly with the vehicle’s frame, effectively creating a much larger sealed enclosure by utilizing the dead airspace within the structural frame cavity. This design extends backwards past the rear wall and up the C-pillar, allowing for deeper bass response while maintaining punchiness and even frequency distribution.
Dave Mattson, a Cybertruck’s owner, process of measuring the full audio characteristics of the Cybertruck system. “If you’ve listened to a Cybertruck’s audio system, the first thing you’ll notice is that it has deep bass, but there are only two 8″ subwoofers with small enclosures under the rear seat, buried in the floor. What’s the secret?” Dave says.
This audio engineering feat highlights Tesla’s cross-functional approach to vehicle design. By integrating the audio system with the vehicle’s structural elements, Tesla has maximized performance while minimizing space usage – a crucial consideration in electric vehicle design where interior space is at a premium.
As Cybertruck owners begin to explore the full capabilities of the audio system, efforts are underway to measure and document its characteristics. This data will likely lead to recommendations for optimal EQ settings, allowing users to further fine-tune their listening experience.
Tesla’s Cybertruck is not just breaking new ground in electric vehicle design; it’s also setting new standards for automotive audio. As owners continue to explore its capabilities, it’s clear that Tesla’s sound engineers have orchestrated a symphony of innovation that’s music to the ears of tech-savvy drivers.
