Tesla's iterative design process emphasizes continuous improvement of costs, weight, and performance. Their improved 15-inch display in Model 3 has seen a 24% cost reduction, 12% weight savings, and 33% power efficiency increase—all while boosting brightness and color accuracy.
For the upcoming Cybertruck, Tesla adopted a design driven by manufacturing constraints, utilizing full stainless steel instead of stamped panels. This not only simplified production but also resulted in a smaller factory footprint and eliminated the need for painting, reducing costs further.
