Elon Musk Gives First Look At Tesla's Electric Semi

Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised the company's first electric semi-truck would be mind-blowing, and he delivered.
Musk took the wraps off the big rig on Thursday at Tesla's Design Studio in Hawthorne, California, and the vehicle's design was definitely what got the most attention.
The semi can go 0-60 mph in five seconds without a trailer attached.
The big rig has an impressive range of 500 miles per charge. With 80,000 pounds of cargo, it can make the same run in just 20 seconds. It can charge up to 400 miles in just 30 minutes when using a Megacharger, which is a new high-speed charger.
The interior of the vehicle is minimalistic and designed around the comfort of the driver. The driver position is placed in the center of the vehicle, instead of on the left side. This helps provide greater visibility to the driver, Musk said. The cabin is also spacious enough for the driver to stand.
Tesla will begin production of the vehicle in 2019. The company is currently taking reservations for the semi, but a deposit will set buyers back $5,000.

Truck Drivers will be looking for a new job. The Tesla truck is mostly automated and will have backup steering wheel holders/loaders that make $10 an hour. Most truck drivers are inconsiderate to say the least. They tailgate and cut you off. The Tesla truck won't cut you off since it's fast. The Tesla truck will not tailgate since it is semi-autonomous and will back off. I don't feel sorry for the soon to be laid off truckers.

[@pammyramos1899]

Dang look at that Truck. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@PillSharks]

Just had a very quick look on google and it's saying it will take about 5 hrs to recharge, how's that going to work for operators who run their trucks 24/7? Not sure if you do that in the USA but certain companies in the UK do, one driver gets out and the other gets in with the seat still warm!

[@MajorisMons]

Pill Sharks Thats either "Slip-seat" driving or "Team driving", both are done in the States.

[@Joshua79C]

With claim of 400 miles or 80% charge in 30 minutes = up to 900 miles of driving, and if you know what the HoS rules are you would know a 30 minute break is required for Canada and USA, in Europe its a 45 minute rest after 6 hours at most. So even if a quick 30 minute charge every 400 miles or less cause you sure can't do a number 2 in the truck while driving you need to stop for that and if the rest area has chargers you can plug it in for as long as it takes you to do a pit stop. I for one do not even do a piss in the cab or side of the road. So you could get 1200 miles of charge a day at the least. and you be lucky you can do 700 miles or a bit more in the 11 hours of driving time allowed.

[@PillSharks]

Joshua79C C so basically what your saying is every single place the truck delivers to will be a charging point! When I was driving HGV s in the UK and Europe most of the drivers breaks were accumulated when I was parked in the yard waiting to be loaded or unloaded. So basically if I've driven for 4 hours and arrived at the euro tunnel I would put the tachograph on a 45min break, then I could continue for 4.5hrs driving into Europe. Also if I'd driven to a delivery point and backed on the loading bay I would put it on rest again so I would be ready for the off when the loaders had finished, i can't see how every single warehouse and industrial estate and dock areas will have charging points! Not to mention all the supermarket hubs who struggle to provide drivers toilets and rest rooms, I can't see them providing charging points can you!?

[@coyko80]

Pill Sharks yes team driving is also present in the USA . Most of the big companies are doing it. Team driving goes almost 200000 miles a year. They don’t stop , just for fuel that takes 20 min . Charging 5 hours is not something you want in the truck

[@luc6284]

They could put solar panels on top so it charges pretty much all the time. Especially in sunny areas like the Middle East or Texas. Of course that would be even more expensive so I doubt if it's worth the money.

[@L0stH0riz0n21]

look at these salty dinosaurs afraid of change.

[@TR33ZY_CRTM]

L0stH0riz0n21 Change is not the problem, even i could settle with an EV. The problem is that this truck is impractical for long distance hauls with it's 500 mile range, one seat, no mirrors, unnecessary and dangerously fast 0-60 time, and only people with more money than brains can afford this. Also, the electric motor first came around in 1832, about 50 years before the ICE was invented, so technically, you're the dinosaur here.

[@tron-8140]

So? I doubt the very first autopilot plane was 100% better than manual pilots either. Version 2 then 3 then 4 will be better still. Eventually trucking will be something only robots do. Stop trying to convince yourself otherwise.

[@eternitynaut]

The black version had mirrors and making a even longer range version is feasible technically, it will take more time to make sense economically. If they made it in 2009, the pack would cost $500000 or more, now they want to sell the whole truck for $200000.
