The Tesla Semi is the safest, most comfortable truck ever. Four independent motors provide maximum power and acceleration and require the lowest energy cost per mile.
@frantzlight@lamaalrajih hmmm... well lets see....automated + no emissions in tunnel + convoy shipping (better than diesel + rail) = a BAMF shipping network unparalleled by existing infrastructure. (my math is conservative at best) :). plus...who will regulate tunnel traffic... I'm assuming NOT the typical state troopers that operate surfaceside.
4 motors
0-60 in 5 seconds
0-60 in 20s with an 80,000lb load
Super aerodynamic
Up to 500 mile range
100 million miles guarantee
Nuclear proof glass
Cente-seated driver
Comes in space gray
$5000 for a reservation
Production in 2019
@vamshi4001 Hopefully the seat placement means better visibility
Also, we will no longer be able to get in front of trucks easily as we do now with their slow acceleration. Oh well lol
Normal people when Tesla launches a Car - Wow. 😻
Normal people when Tesla launcher a Truck - Wow. 😻
Now, this is like the same people will buy the truck as well. 😸😹
@rafyasarmatta if they are produced with the announced specs nobody will need to sell them. They will sell themselves, if you are in the long haul highway cargo business either get them or pull out to the shoulder, you have been driven out of business. 😢
@bentossell as a brand naming aficionado, I agree it's a tad disappointing - especially considering how powerful the names of Elon Musk's companies tend to be. we'd love to replicate his naming prowess in our upcoming AI-powered virtual naming consultant, but cloning the human brain into a computer still seems years away... 😩
Let me be frank, I still drool at beautifully crafted trucks on road (more than cars). I am sure, won't be able to take my eyes of these Tesla Semi when these trucks are running on the roads in 2019! #teslasemi
When Elon mentioned the convoy cost savings I thought he'll announce that only the first truck will require a driver, while the others will follow driverless. At least until we reach full autonomy and we don't even need a driver leading the convoy.
Pro: Safer for the driver, passengers, other vehicles on the road, environment, feels like you're driving Optimus Prime, etc.
Con: You can't justify buying one because you're not a trucker.
