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.

I think it would be hard to have an EV-only household unless you never left town, but having one EV and one gas works great. We drive the Leaf around town and even around the Front Range, but we still have the Outback for ski days and longer road trips back home and such.
Cool man.

Credit for bringing the first all electric upscale sports car to market. Although given the huge amount of torque that electric motors can generate, I'm surprised it took so long.

And what else? A bunch of adolescent fantasies?
Why are you surprised? You realize all the industries trying to bring batteries down, right? It was David against Goliath.

That is usually the sort of thing you do when your stock is in the tank. Not when you have a tiny car company with a market capitalization bigger than GM.
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.

Absolutely. Calling the French rescue diver a chomo, smoking pot on camera, publicly talking out of his ass about taking the company private, etc.
Slow down and breathe man.

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.

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....
