Five years after its unveiling and three years after it was initially supposed to go into production, the first Tesla Semi truck was officially delivered to a customer, in this case Pepsi. As usual, Tesla organized an event to mark the occasion, but even though everybody was expecting Elon Musk and his team to reveal more about the all-electric hauler, not that much new information was actually shared.to deliver snacks to the event.
Elon didn’t even take questions at the end of the presentation, suggesting that the company still wasn’t ready to fully detail the truck’s specs, exact pricing or how it has been handling putting this model into production - these surely would have been among the questions he would have received. He did mention that the Tesla Semi would be the first Tesla vehicle to run on a 1,000-volt electrical architecture, which is necessary in order to enable the vehicle to charge at the kind of rates the company has advertise. We already knew Tesla had advertised the Semi would be able to charge, which require “immersion cooling technology” to keep charging cables from literally melting.
This tech will allow the truck to gain 70 percent state of charge in just 30 minutes, and according to Tesla this tech will trickle down to the Cybertruck too, so expect that to have a class-leading charging capability. The Tesla CEO also clarified that the Semi is able to drive up to 500 miles on one charge, even when it’s loaded, and the company uploaded a timelapse video showing that it was possible. This is quite remarkable and according to Musk the truck used just under 2 kWh/mile, which means that for a 500-mile trip it would require a battery approaching 1,000 kWh capacity.
He probably had a deadline from pepsi to 'deliver' in 2022 or getting sued or cancelled musk is totally desperate, look at his TwitterTakeover and his 'activities'
Would you like to say something about attached? Or you are exclusive to Tesla?
In the interim, customers can buy BEV semis from nikolamotor
Fraudy said in the recent past that the production plan is 'tentatively' 50k semis by 2024. When that con artist says he's 'highly confident' he's full of shit, so if even he's reluctant to lie it means basically zero.
30 millions for 15 trucks and charging infrastructure
Elon clearly needs to pump the stock price with some empty marketing
Hardcore !
They are handmade phantom ware products. Will never go into actual mass production.
This is funny shit.
In other words, vapoware.
Here are the specs on the Tesla Semi since you’re too damn lazy to go to their website yourselves.
😂😂😂😂
No price or specs? It was a delivery event. These are semis that have been purchased and delivered to Pepsi. You think they don’t have pricing and specs figured out because they weren’t talked about on stage? You’re an ICE advocate posing as an EV supporter.
How can you take a company seriously that say that next year they pretend to build an undisclosed number of products with undisclosed specs at an undisclosed price? I wouldn’t. 🤷♂️
