Are you as excited about the Tesla Semi as I am, staying up for the 11:00 pm EST (8:00 pm PST), Thurs., Nov. 16, 2017, unveiling of Tesla Semi at its design studio in Howthorne, California? It is now 11:02 pm EST (8:00 pm PST) and it looks as though the unveiling may be delayed. Elon Musk/Tesla has promised us that “This will blow your mind clear out of your skull and into an alternate dimension…“, below:

This Beast of an electric semi truck has tremendous implications for the economy and the environment of planet earth’s future.  As we see Elon Musk steps out of this sci-fi-ish helmet aspiring to be a bullet of a semi truck, fully energized. Here are some of the amazing features of this Tesla Semi Truck, below:

• 500 mile range
• accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds (most diesel trucks takes 15 seconds)
• 0.36 drag coefficient (whereas a super car is with 0.38 drag coefficient), more aerodynamic than a super car
• it’s a pickup truck that can pick up a pickup truck
• it has one gear
• it has no mirror (it has no need for mirrors)
• driver is positioned in the center
• it costs 20% less than a diesel truck over its lifetime
• fancy interior, driver-comfort/feature
• million mile warranty on the drivetrain (I don’t know of any other in the industry that has million mile warranty)

Elon Musk also mentioned the fact that platooning of these Tesla Semi Trucks would be more efficient and costs less than transport by trains. This vehicle will be fully electric Class 8 (vehicles that weigh more than 33,000 pounds). Much of the future of transport will be dramatically changed. The production of this amazing truck will begin in 2019.

Please feel free to check out the unveiling below:

 

 

Considering its dramatically lower maintenance cost, lower fuel cost, and down time, and longer life expectancy than the ICE/diesel semi trucks, it is conceivable that the overall cost of Tesla Semi Truck will be lower than the current ICE/diesel semi trucks. In the long run, Tesla Semi Truck will replace all of the ICE/diesel semi trucks. It is just a matter of time….

Tesla won’t be alone in its attempt in disrupting the trucking industry, in bringing electric, autonomous big rigs to the world’s highways. We are living in an exciting time! These electric trucks will not only reduce the carbon emission into the atmosphere, but also help to increase the productivity level of the transporting industry.

On the same night, Tesla Roadster is also unveiled by Elon Musk, below:

 

Once again, we have much to thank our Wonder Boy Elon Musk in bringing forth another terrific disruption, in tackling the problem with climate change, energy, and international conflicts, in saving our planet earth.
