Elon Musk hosted a press conference last November. He presented the Tesla Electric Semi Truck Project in front of everyone. Since last summer, he has been coming up with a little idea about this project. So there is a lot of excitement in the minds of the people about this semi-truck. Speaking about the truck, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said, “This car is built in such a way that you will be so delighted to see or drive it that it is unimaginable.”
What does the truck look like?
Although named Semi Truck, it is actually like a full truck. It is even more functional. The truck has an electric battery instead of a diesel tank. There is no gasoline tank in this truck. Following the structure of the Model-3, the truck has been built. Two Model-3 engines have been used. The door handle of the truck also has a Model-3 press button and two screens. Therefore, it is understood that there are many similarities between Tesla cars and trucks. The Tesla truck is a smart truck.
Speed?
Elon Musk compares this electric semi-truck with other trucks. “We designed the Tesla truck to move like a bullet,” he said. The mileage range of a Tesla semi-truck is 500 miles. The truck can reach 0-60 mph in just 5 seconds. The truck has a maximum capacity of about 37 tons or 80,000 pounds. With a maximum capacity, it takes only 20 seconds to reach 0-60 miles per hour.
How much does it cost?
While talking about the design and speed of the car, he did not give a clear idea about the price of the truck at the conference. However, he said, Tesla trucks will cost 20 percent less per mile than a diesel truck.
When will it come on the market?
Electric truck after the electric car is the new wonder of Elon Musk. According to him, the Tesla electric semi-truck will start production in 2019 and will come to the market. Elon Musk said, “If you order a Tesla electric semi-truck today, you will get delivery in the next two years.
Tesla electric truck, luxury truck!
Tesla has always put more emphasis on design. In that series, the interior of the Tesla truck is decorated in a fancy way. The driver’s place is like a room. And the driver’s seat is placed right along the middle of the truck without being left or right. This will enable the driver to better target the front of the truck. This driver’s seat can be moved to one side if desired. Elon Musk joked about the luxurious structure, saying, “This luxurious design of the truck can be a tragedy for those who are in the marketing of the truck.” He added, “When you produce something, make it beautiful and attractive. Even if it doesn’t have any sales effect, the product has to be beautiful and quality. ”
The truck will run alone!
Although self-driving cars have been seen before, this is the first self-driving truck. This truck is equipped with a Tesla autopilot system. Lane change in autopilot mode can control lane departure warning. The truck also has an exterior camera, which provides more thorough guidance. A type of sensor has been installed in the truck to prevent jacking. This prevents jackfruit as well as warns of any inconsistencies.
All in all, the Tesla Electric Semi Truck is a breakthrough in the commercial automobile industry.
