Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Tesla Semi truck and Roadster event in 9 minutes”.
Welcome to the Tesla semi truck event. I hope you like what you see better. Tell you about everything that this this truck can do, starting with performance. So ever an acronym. We came up with that. I think really really describes the performance.
Well, the Tesla semi will go zero to 60 in five seconds now at 80,000 pounds max gross vehicle weight, but that’s the most amount of weight you can carry on a US Highway. This is the real-time acceleration of a Tesla semi that on the left, the thing that looks like it’s not moving is a diesel truck the best diesel trucks can only do 45 miles an hour up a five percent grade desert Sam. I could do 65 miles an hour up to five percent grade. Now. One of the biggest questions we’ve been asked about.
Electric trucks is well. How far can they go because well, let’s find out to 500 mile range and by the way, it’s 500 miles at maximum weight at highway speed. We also have four independent motors on citizen visit, the motor on each of the rear, wheels and independent front suspension. So it’s incredibly comfortable to drive this truck.
What about you know fueling today, if you’re feeling a diesel truck you’ve got fumes spills, toxic environment prices, change all the time and what a lot of people don’t realize is it? Actually, it takes up to 15 minutes or more to actually fill it. A truck get to sit there for 15 minutes. Well, the tank gets full as compared to charging a teaser truck. You can charge at your origin or destination. So, while you’re unloading, your cargo in charge, [ Applause ], every truck we sell – will have enhanced autopilot as standard okay, but the truck will automatically brake. Alright good yeah, you can read it too or it’ll automatically break, but it will actually automatically Lane keep as well.
So, even if even if image from in the truck and you have a medical emergency, the truck will stay in lane and gradually come to a halt and put on the Emergencies. If it doesn’t hear a response from you, I’ll actually call emergency services and get an ambulance, it’s gon na take care of you. It’S gon na take care of other cars can take care of pedestrians. This is a massive increase in safety with that central position.
You’Re in a very safe position, even if you were to slide with with it another semi, you have a low center of gravity that gives you really good handling means. The probability of a rollover is massively reduced because the battery pack is in the floor, pan and and rollover risk is Durant produced and perhaps, most importantly jackknifing is, is usually the worst nightmare of a trucker. How do you stop your your vehicle from jackknifing and, if you’re in difficult conditions, the truck will automatically from stop Jack, and I think because it’s got independent motors on each wheel and it will dynamically adjust the torque on each wheel so that jackknifing is impossible. Reliability is incredibly important.
We’Re 20 massive attention. It’S making this truck be friendly, reliable and that’s why we are guaranteeing that this truck will not break down for a million miles. Then what it has you know as a few other benefits as well brakes brakes are a big deal for trucks. You got to stop 80,000 pounds. It’S not easy! That’S a lot of brake! It’S for a lot of brake wear, but because the with an electric motor you can turn the breaks into generators. So every time you break that kinetic energy of braking goes right straight back into the battery pack instead of heat instead of wearing down a brake pad.
It’S the brake pads basically lasts forever, but if you’d ever need to replace brake pads ever ever – and this is the feature I like best film – Oh nuclear explosion, proof class so standard glass. Now, why is this important cuz agency? It looks nothing survived to nuclear explosion as incredible. The reason this is important is because truck windshields are huge and they cracked about once a year, and if the truck windshield is cracked you’re not allowed to try it so it actually it struck or froze. If you have a practicar inch field and that and that means lost driving, you just pointed customers, it’s a terrible it’s terrible day and you, if you’re stuck in building nowhere, take ages to get it to get a new windshield.
So, actually, this this this detail, this detail matters a lot to to someone who really understands trucking. We have the tesla app that gives you full information about your truck. This is sort of normal. It’S like we take it for granted with.
If you’ve got a Model S or more Lexus like that, but this is not normal actually for trucks. You have full access to all your truck information. You go to remote diagnostics, you can, you can see what’s going on preventative maintenance, the truck will actually anticipate when it needs to be made when it needs maintenance and inform you ahead of time.
You’Re probably wondering how much is this gon na cost, because Tesla stuff is expensive when you take everything into account, take the least cost the insurance cost maintenance. All of the factors the fully accounted for true cost of trucking a diesel truck – will be 20 % more expensive than it Benitez’s semi per mile [ Applause ] on retail. This is from day one it from day one having a Tesla semi will be a diesel truck on economics day.
One – and this is at this – is a worst-case scenario, so it gets better than this. This is the this is the wood. This is worst-case scenario comparison. This is taking max vehicle gross, it’s going at 60 miles an hour and it’s assuming to $ 50 gasoline price, we’re guaranteeing a sevenths and kilowatt wholesale price production begins 2019.
So if you order now get part the truck in two years, [ Applause ] so turns out. There was some cargo in the truck there’s some cargo in the truck we threw it bring it out. If he’ll have asked us for a long time, when you’re gon na make a new roadster, we are making it now. The new Tesla Roadster will be the fastest car production car ever made period. It’Ll do the quarter-mile in eight point nine seconds. I wouldn’t say what the actual top speed is, but it’s above 250 miles an hour. This is gon na have a two hundred kilowatt hour battery pack 606. This is these numbers sound, not even for their real 600 620 mile range.
That’S not a thousand kilometres be the first time an electric vehicle brakes a thousand kilometres a production. Electric vehicle will travel more than a thousand kilometres in a single charge at highway speed. This thing will have three motors, so it’s all-wheel drive one motor in front turn.
Two on the rear. It’Ll do torque steering, I said, turn come out. We put our battery pack 10,000 Newton meters of torque, so you know what that means. It’S stupid, [ Applause, ]; it’s also a four-seater. So it’s a two plus two, two plus two okay. You can’t put giant people in the rear seat, but you will to put okay.
The giant person is squashed or a small small person fit in the bed. So but it’s a four-seater, it’s not like it’s. This is four seats.
It’S convertible, so it’s a roof or roof it’s and it has tons of storage. So you like actually travel somewhere, bring, bring luggage, bring whatever you want and have plenty of storage carry for people like it’s a real car. It’S not just crammed in so it has all that functionality with four seats expecting this to be available. In 2020, the hell of Mario’s touch jump over the barriers jump over [ Applause ].
Thank you for coming. .
