hmm pretty cool, though "100% renewable" is a stretch. A survey performed in California showed that 13.3% comes from natural gas and 27% from coal , with the remainder sourced from a combination of nuclear, wind and solar. So maybe more like "60% renewable energy".

Zero emissions what about the damage to the earth for the batteries and what about the electricity that is bad on the earth too just a thought. What about all the co2 that they put into the drinks how many tons of co2 is released a year just from soda and beer and carbonated beverages each day and year and yet they don’t carbon tax that but no it’s not a gas truck so it is all ok

[@yourlogicalnightmare1014]

The "emissions" are still there, they have simply been relocated from the truck to the power company

[@brandonlong2064]

So what produces more “emissions” a big rig lorry over the life of its use… or the production AND life of an EV big rig?

[@dabbayoo]

They use massive Solar systems at their plants. The only emissions from solar come from the battery and material production, for now. It's emissions lite.

[@MS-zm9st]

The power plant that charges it, makes the emissions. That statement isn't nessasarily true.

[@adnanshah4825]

Nice work

[@chrisprenmusic]

Isn’t that their old logo

[@davidd7140]

How about the emission of making the truck and batteries

[@jamestlynn]

That’s nothing compared to the emissions from all the coal that will be burned at the power plants to generate the energy needed to charge the beastly batteries inside these trucks.

[@SP-05055]

Its usually about the same as making an ICE version. But long term, wayyyyy less emissions especially if they are powered by renewable energy.

[@creolerican]

corretion: frito-lay cheetos semi was the 1st... Pepsi & Frito-Lay are the same company

[@chrispnw2547]

Companies these days knowingly lie as there is little downside for doing so. Since the first deliveries, Tesla has not been transparent about the total operating costs of these vehicles. In 2023, the are for region/local use only. To buy one or more semis you have to buy: 1) Dedicated power from the utility 2) Massive Tesla Power Banks 3) 1-5 Mega Chargers 4) Tesla setup of the equipment 5) Commercial support contract for 24/7 uptime If you have noticed no company Tesla is doing business with will disclose these expenses as there is probably an NDA in place If this solution is so great and is 'cheaper than rail per Musk') let's get some independent sunshine on this product.

[@themonsterunderyourbed9408]

The data isn't really in yet. It's goingb to take some time to make proper comparisons. Also, do you factor in the cost of the rail lines when calculating rail transport cost? The cost of the stations? The utility supplying power to the stations? Etc? If no, why not? Because it was built a long time ago and is already paid off? So shouldn't we give Tesla the same courtesy?

[@sregginkcuf]

Gee I wonder how many strip mines (and how big) y’all had to go through just to make enough batteries for a single semi. Volvo’s in-line 6 > Tesla semis.

[@kingkal81]

What’s the economic impact of this ? Who is going to lose and win from this automation ? Where are the lawyers WHEN one of these are involved in an accident? Who is responsible WHEN an accident happen? Can you sue an algorithm?

[@Aeternum_Gaming]

Based on my personal speculation, it seems that the footage of the accident from the perspective of the Tesla truck will be examined. If it is determined that the Tesla truck is responsible for the accident, it is probable that the company will use standard insurance for automated vehicles to cover any damages.

[@bryanhood9839]

They don't have any self driving capabilities currently, but of course they are wired for it and can one day be upgraded to FSD with a simple software update; no direct personal knowledge here, just what I have heard people say

zero emissions?

[@TopSecret2022]

Yup

[@CricketEngland]

Not from the manufacturer process I doubt

[@GamerBoyRobby]

​@Cricket England yeah technically. But the overall emissions compared to an OEM is drastically reduced. And I believe most Tesla factories use renewable energy (obvs doesnt reduce all carbon emissions) as well as creating renewable energy sources/devices far offsets their emissions😮

[@markplott4820]

YES, ZERO. Pepsi has lots of SOLAR already at plant .

[@aelaan12]

This is very exciting to see. I wonder if they can sync their charging with the time schedule of the driver, because THAT would make it even more exciting. No tired, overworked, drivers on big rigs, I mean they should be able to (almost) drive themselves. Wonder how the team drivers (two drivers combo) will deal with charging in the future. Do we see trailers with solar on it to recharge the battery slowly during the day? A new era in trucking for sure.

[@alanmay7929]

Lol!!! As of drivers are also overworked and tired on other trucks!? Wtf!!

[@alanmay7929]

That’s definitely not a new era of trucking! The new era of trucking was the birth of road trains in Austrialia and Northern Europe for example! Much up to 3-4 times the load of a typical truck in records times.

[@alanmay7929]

Imagine those American companies using the road trains with double or triple configuration they will save a lot of money and time and with two drivers per trucks even il much better 24/7 non stop driving

as a truck driver, i want to say a Tesla semi would not be efficient, we drive for 10 hours and we may stop like 1-2 times during the entire trip, a Tesla truck especially during mountain driving we would be stopping way more frequently to charge it, no thanks, Local deliveries tho i could see it working, but not long hauls

[@markplott4820]

TESLA semi only uses 1.7 kwh/ mile energy, it's literally the MOST efficient semi in the WORLD. even MORE efficient than Hybrids, & Fool Cells. Tesla Semi ONLY operates on one motor at Freeway speeds. and uses 3 motors to Accelerate.

These are still being produced mostly by hand on a small scale, so they would cost vastly more than whatever Tesla sold them for. But Tesla built these to figure out manufacturing and get them being tested on the road in real circumstances to see what breaks, what works and what doesn't, etc so it's giving Tesla valuable data before they finalize the design and components and start mass producing them in the high-volume factory that's being built right now with a target of 50,000 produced next year (2024).
