Can’t believe you took your wife on a surprise journey.... to see a truck!!!!!

[@AllThingsEV]

Romantic, huh? ;)

[@jimthain8777]

Why not, women drive electric vehicles too. Some of them like cars, and trucks. *sigh*

[@SKBKER]

It has nothing to do with men and women . It's just when you go out for a surprise the last thing you expect is to see a truck . Maybe a picnic, maybe sight seeing, maybe a restaurant......not a truck .

Yeah I felt bad for her!

[@Neojhun]

Awesome sign a Beaten-up Worn-out prototype. Vehicle companies who actually test their prototype to hell are the one who are actually serious about production. If a automaker keeps showing a useless pristine prototype for ages, good sign the project is dead.

[@clarkkastory2660]

Neojhun that is a standard in the industry Tesla is just too sloppy and can’t hide the flawed prototype

[@Neojhun]

WTF LOL WRONG. Very unusually to keep a prototype long term and actually use it. Most makers Recycle a Test Mule after they are done with a few Iterations. I love how Pagani has a Zonda which has gone through 4 drive trains now being rebuilt for 5th time. Keeping a Prototype dirty not rebuilding it and actually using it proves how reliable and effective the prototype has become. Iterating and Rebuilding is usually needed after Failure or Major Improvement. Ironoicaly your stupid comment is Ignorant Nonsense, just PROJECTION your baseless opinions on Tesla. False assumption of how Test Mule work in Auto Industry.

[@clarkkastory2660]

Neojhun I said companies have test miles as a standard they just aren’t sloppy enough to leave them in the open

[@Neojhun]

Note how the vehicle does Not have CAMOuflage Wrap. That's because Tesla doesn't have stupid Lawyers that force the operations teams to not let things exist in public as fear of False Promises & Change. It's getting utterly stupid how far Automakers are willing to cover simple little things in fear of brand commitment. The opposite of "sloppy enough to leave", Tesla does not have Scam Artist Lawyers who are Ruining the industry.

[@clarkkastory2660]

Neojhun the camo on a car is to hide the body lines. If the vehicle has been released it is pointless to put on

[@jamesshanks2614]

The blue lines are motor cooling lines as the inverters and the motors are water cooled.

[@AllThingsEV]

Helpful. Thank you!

[@JosueC730]

I think it's liquid coolant, instead of water just like the batteries (glycol).

[@shredder_mang3211]

James Shanks do they use the same thing cars use? Antifreeze I don’t see why that wouldn’t be a good option

[@jasonchappell9694]

Blue is service air, red is emergency air, green is electrical. The cooling lines for motors, even on EV setups do not require a color, and blue is already designated, as an actual legal regulation in all of the US, Canada and Mexico, as the service air color, and no other line on a commercial vehicle is allowed to use that color, EV or not, except for some smaller electrical lines that are not visible from the outside. Same with the color red for emergency lines. Those two colors are specifically set in legal regulations. The air lines are used for braking and stopping, with the blue seeing the most action, as it is applied any time the breaks are applied. The red comes into play in the event of a loss of air pressure in the system, thereby applying the emergency breaks automatically. This also happens if the glad hands accidentally get disconnected from the trailer while in motion, as this causes a loss in pressure... the emergency breaks will engage on both the tractor and trailer. Most semi's use air breaking on both the tractor and trailer, which is why you would have red and blue airlines going to the tires on the tractor, in addition to the glad hands that connect to the trailer. The Tesla semi just happens to also have a electromagnetic breaking system on the tractor in addition to the normal air breaks, to make them last longer. However, unfortunately, if used by itself, without air breaks at all, due to the weight of a fully loaded tractor trailer combo, the breaks would stop the vehicle too fast, resulting in a huge risk of jackknifing, which is why the Tesla semi still uses air breaks. Most likely, the engine cooling is, because of those colors, either an alternate color, or just black like it is on a conventional commercial truck.

[@zarthemad8386]

water cooled electric motor.... yea... its a real POS then.

Nice job Sean. Thanks for sharing!

[@AllThingsEV]

Thank you!

[@virian2010]

You were very lucky to be able to have a chance to look at a work of art, This is a new concept in equipment. I was and owner operator for; Ten years, Owning and driving a 1970 Freight liner tractor-trailer (semi) Powered by a 12V-71 Detroit Diesel Engine. ( Two Cycle). My truck was an "Ass kicker"! What i mean by that, I had to make my living with my truck. I hauled Machinery, lumber, Steel, Overseas Containers, and just about everything you can load onto a truck and "Get Paid" To deliver what Companies or People will pay you to deliver; With out Damage, Late or Excuses. On the flat road my truck was comfortable and fast, But when getting into the hills this is where you have to demonstrate just how well you are prepared you are and how smart you are with the vehicle you brought to handle what you will run into, For example, Some of the hills you will run into are seven and eight percent and could be ten to twenty miles long when running California, Nevada, roads not to speak of Denver Colorado, leaving sea level going to Denver, that must be twenty miles long to reach and altitude of 14000 feet; That will really tax any passenger car let along a truck. When you hear Elon Musk, talking about a big truck moving at 0-to 60 miles per hour, in a very short time; Just think about the loaded trailer behind you and how well the load you carry will not be damaged! I do like the design of the truck Elon is bringing out, but it is not a car or pick up truck. I do like what i could see in the photos shown by Sean Mitchell, The motors powering this truck are huge and different from the way a conventional tractor is built. But when running Diesel power at night, will that "Electrical power be there when you are pulling those long hills or bucking a head wind and running all accessories that go with trucking and the equipment work?? I do hope so, it does look promising Good Job Eon Musk!!

[@Frank71]

Sliding 5th wheel, a light in the back to provide light when attaching the lines to the trailer ...nice touch. The frame looks like a regular semi frame. Orange...high voltage. Blue...motor cooling. Green...airlines. My guess. Tesla, should have a "Auto dock" feature. The most difficult part of driving a truck is backing into the docks, esp in a tight city environment. Going forward is the easy part......i think i saw a camera to help align the truck with trailer.

[@avlawns3037]

If you cannot push it backwards, you have no business pulling it forward.

[@D0li0]

Maybe you will be able to "summon" it to go pickup the load from the yard for you? ;)

[@Joshua79C]

As an experienced truck driver myself, green is usually for trailer lights to power and control, but only the one where the blue and red airlines are, other green is typically for the ground wire in electrical systems.

Really? How much coal will be needed to power those generating stations that supply electricity to have this truck charged?? HELLOOOO!!! The idea is good, but if you're just goign to offset the use of fossil fuels from the vehicle to the power plants, then what are you saving?

[@punto182]

+Joe mariconadas , Regenerative Braking on this Semi Rig recovers motive Braking energy back to the Battery, that would otherwise be wasted via Heat from the Friction Brakes, or Diesel Engine Compression release via the Jake Brake. Diesel Engine Idling & stop start crawling in slow moving traffic decreases Diesel Truck MPG. The Offset to the power plants isn't quite Tit for Tat, when short haul deliveries of Bulky Freight Items that don't weigh much are factored in. Long Haul Heavy Freight in Arctic Weather Conditions, not so much

[@chikennuget3634]

Elon Musk has said that power plants which burn fossil fuels to generate electricity are more produce less emissions than gasoline cars do. Even if there is no regenerative braking, electric cars running on electricity from fossil fuel plants will still produce less greenhouse gases than gasoline cars running on fossil fuels. A switch to electric vehicles WILL reduce emissions. How much depends on where the electricity comes from

Some Tesla charging stations are already sometimes full

[@Joshua79C]

I watch Bjorn Nyland of Norway run road trips with a trailer in tow most of the time, charging takes the same amount of time as without one, though the range is limited a bit due to the drag coefficients of the two vehicles, like Is said charging is about the same amount of time as long as no one else is using charger b or a station connected to the one you are u sing leading to lower transfer of power. But as like past naysayers whining about not enough charger in the early days of this decade, Tesla went out and multiplied the number of stations by the thousands. Even going o far as offering home charger station though at a limited power.

No frunk, no bed, but with OEM frunk and cab+bed options of course. Let aftermarket to boxtruck, flatbed, tanker, recker, rescue, 5th wheel, firetruck, .... twitter.com/D0li0/status/1033666782274379776?s=19 Probably modular universal motor packs. And "small" 30kWh cab battery with universal bolt onto the frame battery options up to 100's of kWh.. twitter.com/D0li0/status/1034164996110864384?s=19

If the Ranger mechanic can fix a model 3 he can fix a Semi. All parts are interchangeable. Except the tires! :)

It looks like they installed a Model S twin engine on each drive axle, with probably a lowest final gear. IMO.

Semi truck has four Model 3 motors as stated at the Semi event last year.

Thanks for the answer. They didn't made this truck from 100% new parts, but reusing existing pieces. Clever.

One electric truck is equal to taking over 100 cars off the road from a CO2 standpoint. This will be huge!

[@Marmocet]

They're nowhere near practical for most purposes for several reasons. They're too expensive. The batteries are too heavy (that limits how much they can haul, which directly negatively impacts their economics). The batteries take too long to charge. And heavy reliance on rapid charging, which trucks will inevitably need, rapidly deteriorates the expensive, heavy batteries. Pure BEVs are still not practical for most applications.

[@trezspre]

Marmocet to expensive??? The price is near equal and the money saved from service makes the tesla truck cheaper.... batteries are to heavy? Not to heavy a bit heavier then normal truck yea, but yet faster up in speed, so in the end its cheaper and better in most ways, and a really good selling point, many company’s wanna be as green as possible becouse the company hiring the truck company wanna be as green as possible becouse they in turn can sell even more... which makes so the truck company gets more people to hire them

Thanks for the video! I'm jealous! What I'm wondering is how does Tesla not care that people can drive into their lot and check out the Semi? I mean, I'd do it too if it was near me, but I wonder if they might not like this.

[@cindytepper8878]

Nice to get a closer look, thanks. Usually (but not always) the blue Synflex tubing is for the service brakes. It has Meritor-Rockwell rear axles and judging from the looks I'd say 38,000 pound rating. Rear suspension could be Neway, but the hangers look proprietary. That weld across the frame flange right in front of the fifthwheel mounting is just asking for a failure. The boxed in frame rails are going to hold moisture and rust out, And that taillight-mudflap thing on the back will last maybe 6 months in a real world trucking environment

[@AllThingsEV]

Good insight. Thank you!

[@punto182]

Are you meaning Chassis Welding? or the strip mounting the air supply Line to the sliding Fifth Wheel?

[@cindytepper8878]

Starting at 4:08 about an inch in front of where the slider is bolted to the frame. There is a reinforcement welded right across the upper frame flange. To make it even worse it's right across the flange at a 90 degree angle. I think there is another view of it when he is looking at all the Synflex lines

[@cindytepper8878]

Why would they stop the reinforcement just shy of the slider mounting? That is an abrupt change in section at one of the areas of highest moment stress. Are they trying to make it fail?

[@punto182]

Oh Ok, At 5:04 those alloy castings bolted to the drive axle, to a Tie Bar - weren't fitted at the unveil.

[@davidbeppler3032]

Every kind. Illegal lane usage, routing, turning, stopping, speeding, passing, not to mention if there is an accident, they always blame the professional first. Even if the other driver obviously broke the law to cause the accident. Cameras save truckers. Record all audio when dealing with police. It is your word against theirs. They will win every time.

It looks different in the motor compartment compared how it was at the unveiling. I always fear a bit that these close up footages of a vehicle still in development might give Teslas competitors too much insight. They invest a huge amount of money to develop these things, while copying only costs little money. Maybe Tesla should hide the truck better from public, at least not park it where everyone can film it.

[@D0li0]

I would wager it isn't that complex. You need only believe it can be done, have the proper assets to assemble it, and then execute. You could do one in a shop using fork lift motors and off the shelf parts but it wouldn't be a Tesla by any stretch. I still believe Tesla is maybe not thrilled with the close ups either, but I want them to be more open source than Apple, so...

[@nilsfrederking62]

Maybe also the most important things, the battery system, battery cell chemistry, the internal structure of the motor (integrated electronics, as with the Model 3) and the cooling system, plus most importantly, the software, are not accessible form the outside or by taking pictures.

[@yosyp5905]

Tesla wants competition.

Competition is great, you should be thankful if there is competition. Without competition, progress is slower and prices are higher.

It will be interesting to see how this truck's motors deal with a long uphill haul without overheating. They will be working hard for an extended period. The Tesla p100d racer went into limp mode after a couple of laps when Tif Needell drove it!

[@benthecaptain7419]

Wow good snag. Looks like the rearview mirrors fold in and you can switch to cameras for the higher speeds there by reducing drag. I know Elon is frustrated with the rearview mirror legal requirements for vehicles. Good way to reduce drag is by folding them in at high speedl. Could be a good feature for the rest of the Tesla fleet as well.

Mirrors do not fail because of a blown fuse. Or water intrusion. Or Software failure. A mirror can only fail if physically broken. And even then it just becomes a smaller mirror.
