Tesla Semi First - Two Tesla semi’s pulling tandem trailers.

This is very big deal. Monumental day in history of transportation. Let the take over of EV semi begin

[@strawwmann3131]

The take over of electric heavy duty vehicles is already well underway particularly in Europe & China. "Electric Trucker" is a great KZbin channel (a German guy, but this is his English language channel) - great insights from an actual trucker who drives an electric truck every day, and covers how fast all the major truck manufacturers are transitioning (like the recent IAA Transportation show in Hanover) - highly recommended if you are interested.

testing then certifying with DOT? would open up some interesting customers that run duals like UPS FedEx and I think Old Dominion and Oak Harbor freight.

Tesla is the new king of the road.

[@jamesdubben3687]

Cool, great coverage. Thanks!

[@andrewtancock-x3d]

nice, looking forward to single and triple rear axles.

[@markplott4820]

looking forward to CABLESS Tesla semi w/ FSD

[@michaelsmithers4900]

I wonder how many Tesla Semi’s Tesla has in operation?

[@mcsike7264]

200+ i think

[@pascalg.8772]

In his latest video Electric Trucker KZbinr from Germany mentions a study showing that EV truck market share will be more than 50% in 2029 in Germany based on truck manufacturers data! The guy drives an eTruck across Germany everyday and relates all the issues and joys of it

[@strawwmann3131]

I've been watching al his recent videos too - great channel.

Gracias por el video, saludos desde Malaga España

[@Battle_pigeon]

Great to see. Thanks Z.

[@lurin971]

Awesome 😎👍

[@Travlinmo]

I notice this is a low and high top version of the truck cab. I think I have not previously noticed the low top cab. Are there other styles out there today? Are the testing other classes of truck that you have seen?

[@andyonions7864]

There were high and low top versions unveiled together all those (5?) years ago. The only other variants are 300 and 500 mile ranges.

[@Jessev741]

I don't think the cabs are any different, just one has a big aero cover and the other doesn't.

[@Whitect4v]

Unbelievable stuff

[@markplott4820]

Edison motors RIP.

[@ingemarmoen6062]

I wonder if there is any point in making an electric dolly for the 2nd trailer

[@strawwmann3131]

Trailer Dynamics is about to release trailers like that - they self-control the battery-powered axle drive/regen (can work with both diesel and EV trucks through a clever physical feedback control system), and has swappable battery packs that are underslung along the sides of the trailer. Very neat design, including their use as a transition step in reducing emissions of diesel fleets.

[@memrjohnno]

Cool, cheers.

[@paulgar8]

How much sound does a Tesla Semi produce in motion?

[@markplott4820]

almost ZERO , except for Thermal system. - note, the ICE thermal system is way Louder and on ALL the time.

[@cuda426hemi]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Nothin' like a 22 wheel building driving by silently. ⑆

[@markplott4820]

cant wait to see Tesla semi haul Starship rocket boosters.

[@bishop1827]

Play the whole song 😂🎉 just loop video 😅

[@robertn2951]

How is the eastern wall doing? Is it almost finished?

[@markplott4820]

BIDEN sold off the panels.

[@markplott4820]

I dont need License to operate Tesla semi, I am traveling.

[@westcoast8562]

SLEEPER

[@truhartwood3170]

Don't need sleepers when it can't go that far. Until there are megacharging stations along the highways to be able to charge these in 30 - 40min, they will just do trips of less than 500mi and charge at the destinations.

[@westcoast8562]

@truhartwood3170 WRONG. BREAKS ARE MANDATORY FOR THE DRIVERS. PERFECT TIME TO CHARGE. NOT SAYING THEY WILL HAVE SLEEPERS BUT SEMI PRODUCTION IS A SLEEPER THAT IS GOING TO GROW TSLA BOTTOM LINE IMMENSELY AND END THE DEMAND FOR DIESEL .
