Tesla's highly anticipated Cybertruck is gracing showrooms nationwide. Cybertruck was trending on X as users posted pictures and videos from Tesla stores throughout the U.S., ramping up even more excitement for the delivery event on November 30th.

Cybertrucks: Roll Out

Cybertruck started its showroom appearances in San Diego and San Jose earlier this week, but according to Elon Musk, several more Tesla stores may want to clear some space. Musk posted on X: "Cybertrucks are on their way to Tesla stores in North America!" It's unclear if that means every Tesla store and gallery across North America or just a few. There are 236 stores in the U.S., 24 in Canada, and 3 in Mexico.

It's also strange that so many Cybertrucks are in showrooms, as it's been reported that Tesla Product Design Director Javier Verdura said only ten would be delivered at the November 30th event. It's believed that slow rollout highlights the company's cautious approach, ensuring quality control before increasing deliveries and production volumes.

Beyond Showrooms: Generating Buzz and Interest

This widespread showcase in Tesla showrooms is more than just about displaying the new Cybertruck; it's a strategic move to draw consumers into showrooms. As Cybertrucks make their way into more stores, potential customers and enthusiasts get a firsthand look, creating a tangible sense of excitement. This strategy is particularly effective before Black Friday, leveraging the shopping season's foot traffic to draw more attention.

Adding to the intrigue, Tesla has revealed key specifications of the Cybertruck in its showrooms. The confirmed towing capacity of 11,000 lbs and a payload of 2,500 lbs have been significant talking points, giving potential buyers more reasons to consider the Cybertruck as a formidable competitor in the electric vehicle market. However, we still don't know the price.

Despite the initially limited delivery numbers, Tesla's decision to place Cybertrucks in showrooms across North America is another clever marketing move - for a company that doesn't advertise. It maintains high levels of interest and anticipation and gives the rest of the lineup a chance to shine. Christmas comes earlier this year; just a few more sleeps until November 30th.

Tesla Debuts Super Manifold V2 in the New Model Y—But Not Every Car Has It Yet

By Not a Tesla App Staff
Tesla Service Manual

The Super Manifold is Tesla’s solution to reducing the complexity of a heat pump system for an EV. Tesla showed off its engineering chops back with the original Model Y in 2019, where it introduced a new 8-way valve (the Octovalve) and a new heat pump alongside the uniquely designed Super Manifold to improve efficiency.

Now, Tesla is launching an improved version with the refreshed Model Y - the Super Manifold V2. We got to hear about it thanks to Sandy Munro’s interview with Tesla’s Lars Moravy (Vice President of Vehicle Engineering) and Franz Von Holzhausen (Chief of Vehicle Design). You can watch the video further below.

What Is The Super Manifold?

The Super Manifold (get it, Superman?), is an all-in-one package that brings in all the components of a heat pump system into one component. The Super Manifold packs all the refrigerant and coolant components around a 2-layer PCB (printed circuit board).

This Super Manifold would normally have 15 or 20 separate components, but Tesla managed to integrate them all into one nice package. That presented Tesla with a new challenge: how to integrate a heat pump—capable of both heating and cooling—into a single, efficient platform?

Several years ago, Tesla designed the Octovalve. It combines inlets and outlets and can variably change between heating or cooling on the fly - without needing to be plumbed in different directions. This is especially important for EVs, which may need to heat the battery with the waste heat generated from the motors or the heat pump while also cooling the cabin - or vice versa.

Original Super Manifold V1.1

Tesla launched the Super Manifold V1.1 back in 2022, and it provided some minor improvements to the waste heat processing of the heat exchange system. It also tightened up the Octovalve, preventing the leakage of oils into the HVAC loop that could cause it to freeze at extremely low temperatures.

Tesla has been using the V1.1 for several years now, and it has really solved the vast majority of issues with the heat pump system that many older Model Ys experienced.

Super Manifold V2 Coming Soon

Now, Tesla is introducing the Super Manifold V2 in the new Model Y. It will improve the overall cooling capacity provided by the original Super Manifold, but unfortunately, not every single new Model Y will come with it equipped. Tesla will be introducing it slowly across the lineup and at different rates at different factories, depending on part availability.

Eventually, the Super Manifold V2 will also make its way to other vehicles, potentially including the upcoming refresh for the Model S and Model X, but initially, it’ll be exclusive to the new Model Y. Tesla expects to have the new manifold in every new Model Y later this year.
