Tesla Semi - The safest, and most comfortable truck ever made

by•

​The Tesla Semi is the safest, most comfortable truck ever. Four independent motors provide maximum power and acceleration and require the lowest energy cost per mile.

But will it fit in the Boring tunnels? 😅
Lama Al Rajih
@frantzlight why would it need to?
Emmanuel A. Simon
@frantzlight @lamaalrajih hmmm... well lets see....automated + no emissions in tunnel + convoy shipping (better than diesel + rail) = a BAMF shipping network unparalleled by existing infrastructure. (my math is conservative at best) :). plus...who will regulate tunnel traffic... I'm assuming NOT the typical state troopers that operate surfaceside.

@frantzlight @uelsimon won't having it in the boring co tunnels require a bunch of restrictions regarding weight, etc?

It's stunning. P.S. The new Tesla Roadster is insane. https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@nivo0o0 I want a Tesla Semi RV. Self driving home/office :-)

4 motors 0-60 in 5 seconds 0-60 in 20s with an 80,000lb load Super aerodynamic Up to 500 mile range 100 million miles guarantee Nuclear proof glass Cente-seated driver Comes in space gray $5000 for a reservation Production in 2019

@vamshi4001 I love the attention to nuclear proof glass.
David Berkowitz
@vamshi4001 @kaigradert but how do you test that?
James Whiteside
@vamshi4001 Hopefully the seat placement means better visibility Also, we will no longer be able to get in front of trucks easily as we do now with their slow acceleration. Oh well lol
Anthony Da Mota
That's huge. Btw, in case you haven't noticed the "BEAST" 😎
Ravi Srinivasan
Great for digital nomads.

The #TeslaSemi will have a 500 mile battery range at maximum weight 😮
José Luis Fausto
@nivo0o0 How long does the battery last before it needs to be replaced? 100 million miles?
Thomas Moenicke
Would be cool to have it as a motorhome

Normal people when Tesla launches a Car - Wow. 😻 Normal people when Tesla launcher a Truck - Wow. 😻 Now, this is like the same people will buy the truck as well. 😸😹

@rafyasarmatta you are right :D I also find that very amusing :D
Alfonso C. Betancort
@rafyasarmatta if they are produced with the announced specs nobody will need to sell them. They will sell themselves, if you are in the long haul highway cargo business either get them or pull out to the shoulder, you have been driven out of business. 😢
Ben Tossell
Pretty unfortunate name though....

@bentossell as a brand naming aficionado, I agree it's a tad disappointing - especially considering how powerful the names of Elon Musk's companies tend to be. we'd love to replicate his naming prowess in our upcoming AI-powered virtual naming consultant, but cloning the human brain into a computer still seems years away... 😩
Aashay Mody
Never thought I would say this, but now I want to drive a truck! lol
Vaclav Bedrich
Wow, 0-60 with up to 80,000 pounds load – 20 seconds, without load 0-60 is 5 seconds. 500 miles per charge with the max load and 65 mph highway speed!
Sean Howell
“Keep those wheels turning” nothing’s gonna slow down these suckers. Impressive.
mihir
I want to be a truck driver now! 🚚.......
Andrew Gill
Beautifully brilliant. However I feel collusion avoidance may be severely “tested” by competing non driverless semi drivers.
Zach Dubos
I can't wait to see this on the highway. Meijer just bought 4. Edit: Walmart just bought 15! 2019 can’t come soon enough.
Sai 🚀
Let me be frank, I still drool at beautifully crafted trucks on road (more than cars). I am sure, won't be able to take my eyes of these Tesla Semi when these trucks are running on the roads in 2019! #teslasemi
Rick Kats
makes me want to get one of these trucks :D
Jack
When Elon mentioned the convoy cost savings I thought he'll announce that only the first truck will require a driver, while the others will follow driverless. At least until we reach full autonomy and we don't even need a driver leading the convoy.
Haroon
@thesocialjack pretty sure that’s what he meant?
Honey Raj Varma
Awesome stuff by Elon again, still laughing at the very subtle 'BAMF Performance'
Ishtiaq Rahman
Pro: Safer for the driver, passengers, other vehicles on the road, environment, feels like you're driving Optimus Prime, etc. Con: You can't justify buying one because you're not a trucker.
