Elon Musk Gives First Look At Tesla's Electric Semi

Each wheel has an engine... that make for one smooth ride

What is with the aspect ratio?
What idiot cropped the video?

Bad Ass Motherfucking Performance lol

#flat earth suckers

If a piss jug spills...and is refilled with water, is it still a piss jug or a dirty water jug?

Does it come equipmented with piss jugs or are those sold separately??😣

Hello?

This is totally unneeded truck

It also has stealth technology so it can't be seen on enemy radar.

idea that work

723

Imagine the range of half the cargo was just more batteries

Keep the diesel burning boycott tesla.

That truck loooks like shit

Does it come with electronic assistant driving modes like my Prius?

Next , Tesla electric train ..
0-60 in 5ns.

hope they can get drivers, with these “shortage” I doubt that companies will buy or change their truck fleet and have money left to pay fairly to their drivers who by the way ALREADY MAKE POOR MONEY. still a beautiful truck I would love to be an owner operator with one of those.

65mph up a ten percent grade. Nice but only 500 mile range? I have 2 120gal tanks and can drive 1000 miles. If he wants this to be successful he has to figure out a way to make the batteries last in the extreme temps. Hot and cold. Sounds good but i guess we will find out if the truck stops will install battery chargers lol. I can refuel and be rollin in 15 mins and the only charge i get in that 15 mins is.....TWO MORE MONSTERS LMAO

Electric Semi's wont take the market. Battery weight for long distances "displaces the payload" ; electric is less profitable.
You will not be seeing interstate Trucking Companies being interested.... except for regional deliveries - that's the reality.!

Guys relax this tesla shit will never happen becouse the SAUDI will not alow tesla to take over their trillions $$$$$

Yoo mojos thus bs truck will not last a chances against 650HP diesel up on the hill tesla shit is just 4 show and are made to bull shit inroubd LA empty trailer ya accelarecion 1 min then you got to charge

So this is what happens when Elon Musk gets turned on 🤔

This truck has better aerodynamics than the bugatti chiron

He should be arrested for crimes against humanity.
First it's the truckers, it will end with brain surgeons be laid off.

I don't care if it's the last truck on earth I'm never driving it I guess I'd just have to quit my job and get another one nothing better than driving a Peterbilt

This guy cant stop stuttering

Ask about road side repair service I heard about cars big money that's if they will fix it after the warnty good luck if is like the cars door handles my door handles still work after 20 years.dont bet on the guality right away.the trains use just keep running do a blow and go stone the com. To .ooo change the brushes clean the pinion gear and gear case wicks check the wires and glad hand connection do a electrical check restance meger and hi pot I you can use a lab top now a days.do all six and your good to go.my gess they use brushless motors.they just keep running with a little matence.i think they used to charge 750.00 per traction motor for a blow and go.a rebuild cost much more new one much more.a little tlc keeps them running.you jaw would drop if you herd the repair cost I herd the cars are very high.buyer beware regular semis are high also.on repair cost.but you can buy the parts.

That's 80,000.gross weight not cargo cargo +truck=80,000 poundsgross weight .not 80,000 pounds cargo.

Searl seg generator only need to stop to rest save cash on weight batterys don't limit range .for truckers to make a living.

You can't bounce the cargo around carrier damage it will be local with out charging stations like gasstations are skip the batters.searl seg generator then it can work.

mind blowing indeed...

This is cool, but I just wanna know what song was in the entrance

What's that song lol

Lmao Elon getting so pissed at everyone cheering for him

5:21 is that trump?

just make it already. you only need a copper and zinc and some motors then DONE!

Cars in Space, awesome earthbound cars, now an electric commerical vehicle? He's the freaking man!!

Tesla is going to be the go to company eventually

Atleast make it look like a damn truck! This guy also has poor use of talking lol....

I made A video on how to extend battery life. It can also restore the capacity of older batteries.
Cellphones, EVs, power tools, solar power, storage and car batteries all can benefit from this easy trick!

Tesal is great

Elon r u ok?

Future is coming !

In production by 2019??? Where?? I don't see any plants going up...Why not work on a natural gas engine? We have tons of that and it's clean energy...

"Pulling 80,000 pounds, max gross ....."
Musk is the master at leaving out important details if they don't fit the narrative. What is the max payload? Oh, he never says. Gee, that is THE most important data. Is the truck able to pull anything besides its own batteries? He doesn't say. Seems kind of important, doesn't it?

The trailer is for the batteries. Have the idiots applauding this any idea of the torque and power and energy consumption to haul 20 tons for 500 miles. Nope didn`t think so.

It's a tractor. A semi refers to a semi-trailer,as opposed to a full trailer. A rig is a tractor and semi,or full trailer

Here the problem. It will take at least 5 years to put out a reliable one. And another 7-8 years for mechanics to learn to fix them. Think about all the sensors. It’s going to cost a ton of money to fox

Why do all these rich assholes think their Steve Jobs

Why no one realized the potential for regenerating power thru the trailer wheels is beyond me. I guess they had to leave room for a friend to make profits from charge stations. It would likely happen as people are often stolen from by way of mans law. May it come to an end as it seems to be the very cause of it.

Your a mother trucker!

As with any semi, ANYTHING that large needs to be on a RAILROAD TRACK!

Tesla should come talk to me if he wants to have an opinion about truck driving

For all the haters commenting on Elon’s delivery, please ask yourself ‘wtf am I doing to improve the quality of life for my fellow human beings?’ If you can’t come up with anything remotely positive then quit bashing this genius and go read his bio.

So many salty old idiots in this comment section LOL. This truck will asswhoop ur udly diesel in every possible way, less parts to fail, great range (and it can charge everywhere for much cheaper than it costs to fill diesel), MUCH faster, easier to maintain (yes, easier to maintain, electric parts r less likely to fail than mechanical parts, its been proven a billion times), much safer and the list goes on. Stop being so damn afraid of the future... I bet people said it was a terrible idea to replace horses with cars, but look where we r now...

Is that possible to make it solar powered truck!??

People calling him a terrible speaker are very ignorant. It sounds like he has a stutter. It's not your fault if you're a stutterer. I've had a stutter since I was six. I'm 26 and my stutter gets to the point where I can barely talk.

So much torque at start

Musk is very nervous! Not such a great presenter.

Everyone screams like theyre gonna own one.

this is funny cause when tesla cars break down only tesla can work on them what happens when this thing breaks down sukkas

The problem with this is that the mileage is really low and the battery will be hella heavy and it needs 8 hours to charge for any company to be efficient the drivers can’t wait 8 hours for their truck to charge

What a bout going down the Rockies with a 80 000 , is going 65 mph🤣🤣🤣

Tesla marketing team got these normies dripping wet...

Great and great Musk 👏👏👏🌹

Wow 👏👏👏👌🌹

This guy is the worst at explaining i wanted to pull my hair out.and who ever gives him his info is stupid.you can deliver out in the middle of no where and back home without charging hahahahahaha my routes are around 600 miles each way and are in fact out in the middle of know where.

These semis are absolutely amazing. Loved watching this. Excellent idea that would be so cool to see on the road someday. #SoCool

How can he say that if you are driving a Tesla Truck you are making 50% more that if you had a diesel? That's a ridiculous statement just as going 0to 60 in 5 seconds is meaningful in a freight hauler. Screw Elon and his ideas that cost the taxpayers too much for nothing.

I need to accelerate all my freight as rapidly as possible 0 to 60 in five seconds great. right? The real car companies of the world are just about to show Elon where his artist conceptions can go.

if you showed someone living in 1896 a semi truck from the 1996, they'd think it was funny and strange as well. never let the status quo define what the future could hold.

smart guy bad speaker.

A pick up truck that can carry a pick-up. Truck 😂😂😂😂

Ok WTF lets just shrink the video and make it shitter and then slap tech insider on it like we did something.

When will we see a Tesla pickup truck?

Wow, that sucks

That is our future, go Elon

ibotta.com/r/pyqbjnv

aerodynamic semi truck....dem son

New mateiral ..its so cool

When Tesla comes out with a cellphone it’s gonna run electricity

Why do I smell bullshit?

Tesla car in India launching

What song was playing and didn't finished?

The world MUST go electric BUT WITH deep geothermal engery used to recharge its batteries AS current power plants wretch CO2 into the air and ocean !! (sea plankton give 70% of the air in your room right now !!! ELON HAS THE RIGHT IDEA NOW WE NEED TO ALL NOW COMPLETE THIS GREAT THOUGHT OF BANNING CO2 EMISSIONS , BANNING THE BURNING OF FOSSIL FUELS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EV'S PLUS GEO THERMAL (YES LAVA POWERED BABY!) POWERPLANTS ONLY FOR ELECTRICITY !!!!!!!!!!! POPULATION CONTROL, CONSUMERISM REGULATED BY LAW - WE CAN DO THIS THING OF SAVING MANKIND YET, IF WE JUST THINK A LITTLE AND A LOT - MAN WILL HELP HIMSELF --------- AND A HUGE THANK YOU, ELONG, KEEP IT GOING, FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR FANTASTIC HISTORY-MAKING GOLF SWINGS -------- BE THE GEOTHERMAL ENGERY MAN --- !!!!!!!!!

this dude made space rockets then came back to earth and made electric cars like its nothing!

acceleration will let them hit city lights green much more often... Drivers know how to time lights,.. the a.i. will too they'll clear traffic stops faster everywhere. merging to get on the interstate etc. this will change LOTS of traffic hesitations, not just up a steep hill.

They took our jobd

I don't understand why everyone keeps griping and belittling this company and it's profit margins? Seriously, it's environmentally friendly, safer, and more fuel efficient... Because it literally requires no fuel... Who cares about "How it looks." when it will literally save future generations. Honestly, humanity is starting to piss me off. Worried more about the latest celebrity tabloid or anti pimple cream, than their own survival.

Truckers need reliability not 0 to 60 in 5 seconds!
Teslas dont have a good reputation for reliability!

*the new euro truck simulator 2 mod pack*

I want to be a TESLA DRIVER NOW!!!

Nailed it!

School buses should be next!

Stop destroying the environment by using giant batteries... pls... -.-

That is just crazy good, so love this guy's mind!!!!!!

That is soooooo crazy, I thought it was a simulation at first......wow!!!!!

Ugly pile of shite...!!!!!

He never stated who independently tested these performances??

Jesus loves you.
