Tesla unveil Semi, new Roadster, & also teased a "pickup truck"
Anyone watch the unveil last night?
![]() The numbers on the semi destroyed what anyone thought possible. - 0-60 in 5 sec - 0-60 in 20 sec under max gross payload of 80k lbs - 65mph up 5% grade under max lied, compared to 45mph for ICE semi - 500 mile range - 400 miles of additional range after 30 min charge - Guaranteed 7¢/kWh fuel cost(solar) compared to volatile oil - Nuclear explosion proof glass(apparently cracked windshield takes semi off road) - 1 million mile guarantee it won't breakdown - Will never need a brake change - "Impossible" to jacknife - Beats semis on economics day 1 - In convoy mode, beats rail on economics 300 miles of range: $150,000 500 miles of range: $180,000 Founders series: $200,000 ![]() https://youtu.be/CBTQnmUolas The Roadster was a complete surprise, and the numbers given destroy any production car you can think of, even a Koenisegg. - 0-60 in 1.9 sec (this is faster than most Formula 1 cars) - 0-100 in 4.2 - 1/4 mile in 8.9 sec - 250+ mph top speed - 621 mile range (That's Kansas City to Denver without fueling) - 10,000 nm torque and that's the base model. Starting at $200k and Founders series at $250k. Destroys million dollar cars. ![]() Also teased a rendering image of a consumer pickup truck with a normal truck in the bed. https://youtu.be/5n9xafjynJA Last edited by aturnis; 11-23-2017 at 02:02 AM.. |

This company is in the tank. That's what some of you guys are missing. It was a nice dream but at some point your company has to actually make money.

In case anyone cares, Tesla posted its biggest ever profit in Q3. Still a ways to go to erase years of losses (though you could even argue that those were largely capital investments), but that's a pretty solid indicator that the model is going to work.
Electrek: Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling car by revenue and delivers surprisingly high gross margin. https://electrek.co/2018/10/24/tesla...-gross-margin/ |

Elon claims the truck will start at $49k. (Though it took them forever to offer a $35k Model 3, so take with a grain of salt.)
(Also, for the record, the image in the article is NOT an official render. They haven't released a render yet. |

Interesting take, the work they have done may make it but as a company they cant survive and Musk is a bit of a crazy. Brilliant, but.... |
