Tesla Semi Truck Acceleration Pull

Tesla Semi Truck Acceleration Pull

[@animalloverjulian8243]

Finally, a truck that can keep up with traffic. It’s going to be great not being stuck behind big trucks.

[@user-ed9nz4ib8o]

Most semi trucks are limited to 65 - 70 mph.

[@animalloverjulian8243]

@@user-ed9nz4ib8o yes, but I’m talking about acceleration

[@Random.ChanneI]

Or you know, you could built anything else besides roads to get around and stop building out all these terrible suburbs. Where I live I don't have to get in my car for 90% of the things you do on a daily base. Americans have to realise there are other ways to get around. But it's hard to believe of course when your country is only building massive concrete highways through towns.

This thing is gapping cars

[@cookedmarbles4888]

I drive a box truck, and I can assure you we're trying. I pretty much floor it from a stop every single time but just to get up to 45 takes a good 30 seconds or so

[@jacobB1290H]

It literally sounds strait out of some future movie

[@edvoon]

What's really interesting is at 0:25 when you see the distance between the Tesla Semi and the nearest car behind it. With a regular Semi most cars would follow real close to make the turn safely, then quickly cut inside and get out in front. Not happening here!

[@SR20tony]

When this truck hits the market obtaining your cdl is gonna be simple

[@Neojhun]

But you got to be extra careful and responsible you the lead foot. That thing seems to quick to be safe. Time frame of how fast you will hit things is much smaller.

[@bboy1613]

Idk how you still got to do CdL training

[@cookedmarbles4888]

​@@NeojhunI agree, current diesel trucks are so slow a lot of people just floor it constantly

[@senorbars]

That's sic!!

[@IDABAYAREA650I]

*But is that Trailer Fully Loaded?*

[@animalloverjulian8243]

Probably not, definitely has some sort of load. With a full load, 0-60 takes 20 seconds so it would definitely accelerate slower than that.

[@RaceGasSmellsGood]

So much torque!! How many Lb-ft do they make?!

[@nonconsensualopinion]

I believe it uses 4 model 3 motors each making around 500 lb-ft at the shaft. Don't know what the gearbox ratio is on the truck. Single speed, no transmission.

[@lloydie6330]

Maybe 400? I think 500..

[@TEC2stage]

@@lloydie6330 that's less than half of the average semi lmfao

[@shubhankarsse]

@@nonconsensualopinion holllyyyy smokes. That's a lot

[@Turbo_The_Femboy_Fox]

@@lloydie6330 that’s less than a Hellcat let alone a fucking semi, if you’re talking HP, that would make sense. Semis push over 1,000 ft-lbs of torque. That truck has 4 motors, I believe they’re pulled from a Model 3, which had like 300hp and over 500 ft-lbs of torque. So 4X300, you’re looking at 1200hp, and 4X500, you’re at over 2000 ft-lbs of torque. Now that’s power and torque from the motor, which gearing can and will affect torque outputs from the final drive, let’s say you have a 1:1 final drive, 300 ft-lbs of torque is 300 ft-lbs, if you if you have a 4:1 ratio, the torque will be multiplied at the cost of speed. This is why lower gears get you off the line faster because more torque.

[@JustinDaniels]

Yeah, imagine a world where semi trucks do not have to inconvenience every single other driver on the road!

[@datboot318]

Gotta get me one

[@josealcala8156]

I wonder if it was loaded fully

[@michaelbenoit248]

I doubt it was. If it was loaded it would be moving much slower. Watch these Tesla semis fry out battery packs, & motors. The heat has to go somewhere.

[@animalloverjulian8243]

It’s probably half loaded

[@Andrecio64]

It screams

[@kingssuck06]

Yea thats cool, but how long will the batteries last going up a mountain in the wintertime?

[@wisniamw]

right? RIGHT? And I bet if you use this car in deep syberia they will be useless, so this car is 100% useless

LOL Winter Time, are you kidding me. Sorry the has to be used in the freaking ARCTIC CIRCLE! You do not live anywhere that is as cold where these are Tested. It's freaking Several Metric Tonnes of battery. The sheer massive size alone has THERMAL MASS. You FAIL at PHYSICS.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass Learn basic physics especially when it's a 6 Tonne Mass.

[@jeffscott3160]

With a range of less than 400 miles you won't be seeing these replace diesel trucks any time soon. Local and instate deliveries only, no OTR.

[@kiefox7162]

500 mile range on this.

[@jeffscott3160]

@@kiefox7162 Says who? You? The manufacturer? Real world testing has proven the manufacturers are greatly overestimating the mileage numbers they advertise. Not just trucks but ALL EV's across the board only get 76% of their advertised range in REAL world conditions. Even if it was 500 miles it is still not enough for the OTR trucking community. A few quick searches on that new fancy thing they call the internet just might educate you on things you obviously know little about.

[@jeffscott3160]

@Bluecast The problem with that argument is that these are manufacturer claimed distances and real world tests have shown that EV's get less than 70% of that advertised range and less than half that at the 40 ton rated weight capacity. The other major issue is with battery life as these trucks batteries are going through severe duty rating while hauling capacity loads and will cut battery life severely over what is traditionally expected from the EV's we use today. A model 3 tesla battery will set you back 15K to have it replaced and it's estimated to need replacing every 8 years or so. For the semi's I would expect less than half that with the duty cycle they will go through at a cost of 70-120K for replacement. All of a sudden that fuel savings isn't what you thought it would be.
