Live Coverage of Elon Musk's Tesla Semi Delivery Event slated for December 1st, 2022 at TBD time.
I worked at Tesla starting in July of 2017 as an Operations Analyst out of the Bethlehem, PA distribution center facility and left as a Program Manager based out of Austin, TX as of September 2021. I spent most of my time in the distribution and supply chain organizations.
Before Tesla, I was a Director of Business Intelligence and Pricing at the largest Pet Food & Supply distributor in the US, Phillips Pet Food & Supplies based out of Easton, PA. My wife and I also owned a small business in Bethlehem, PA between 2016 and 2019.
My thoughts are my own and are not representative of everyone who currently works, or has worked at Tesla.

Thanks for the Pin!

Tesla really planned this out incredibly well. 250 miles is the average trucking route length. Break is 30 mins. Charge 370 miles within 30 mins while they are on break. Megapack to guarantee that these trucks can run consistently. Masterfully planned. Well done, Tesla.
Lol! Tesla has had some real flops, but this one took the cake! Horribly planned!
My home is a few blocks from the city school bus yard. Now that most of the fleet is electric, mornings and afternoons are much quieter without diesel fumes and smoke wafting over the neighborhood. Car drivers are no longer stuck behind the slow diesel powered buses, as the electric ones drive like cars.
What city are you in? Most school districts only have 1-2 electric bus in the fleet, not 50% of them. Do you know or guess how many are electric VS the older diesel bus in your city fleet? Thanks.
@@Kangenpower7
Small city over 15k people in N California. I walked past the the bus yard and counted them. The electric buses have green bumpers and were plugged in. Last time I walked by, about 70% were Electric, most of the smaller ones, but several larger ones too.
Nice report.
Wish they would announce a factory for semi. Cargo Vans. Work trucks. Commercial vehicles… they really need to start capitalizing and get a foothold into the commercial sector before anyone to capture the other market. Either way tesla is killing it!
Loved the show. Keep it up guys!!!!!!!!
I think once we hear from people who have seen the assembly line we will get an idea what there plans are vis a vi giga press and where they will put it, but the fact that it sounds like it uses many of the same parts as the cars tells me there is a good chance it could just be added as a lines in texas and berlin.
Guys, thanks for everything. Just a note, the Semi was never designed to be a long haul truck. They designed the Semi to for fleet operators. Trucks for established route services. UPS, Fedex, ... it wasn't initially for interstate commerce. Thats why it don't have a sleeper cab. This may change down the road when they have established a charging network for trucks on expected routes. They designed this for fixed base operators which acct for a very large number of the trucks in the world.
A utility last delivery mile commercial vehicle is now needed. Don't need to make it aero as its only valid from 50mph above. Cybertruck steel outer, imagine one's with the falcon wing doors which helps with accessing parcels. 1000v architecture means charging won't be an issue to keep those going.
So are you asking for a large step van to make local deliveries to a parts store or to homeowners and small businesses? My guess being that a supermarket get's it's deliveries with a 45' long delivery trailer and pallets of stuff inside. While a mom and pop store or 7-11 style store gets smaller delivery trucks where the stuff is brought in the store with a hand truck a few boxes at a time. I don't think the gull wing idea will catch on, but beer delivery trucks do use something like that system, where a pallet of beer is put behind one of several roll up doors on the delivery truck.
I do know of a race car team that bought a used beer trailer, and cut out the middle section in the back, to hold their car, and has roll up doors for all the other things they want to get to around the trailer.
I think GM is working on a delivery van based on a EV platform, and many others will build them as the need comes up.
@@Kangenpower7 haha hey anything that caters for the small and medium commercial space, the guys at tesla know design better than most of us but it is an untapped market considering its those vehicles that spend alot of time on the road utilisation wise. I want to be blown away with an out of the box idea 😜
The ingenuity and far-sightedness of Elon and his crew are a joy to behold.
volts analogy: volts is water pressure, current is water volume flow. together they make up water power (watts)
The Tesla semi will be the engine/cab of the RV industry. Just imagine being able to go off grid in your RV with that amount of battery storage combined with a massive solar array on the roof.
Sure that might work. However a Freightliner can have a 12 foot frame extension, but not the Tesla. So it might make a great truck to pull a larger fifth wheel, but I don't see it as a class C motorhome chassis anytime soon. Even as a fifth wheel puller, not many want to buy a brand new truck to tow a fifth wheel. Many will buy a 300,000 - 500,000 mile used Volvo, and convert it by removing one of the rear axles, and then have a 30,000+ tow rating with a truck the same size and slightly longer length of a F-350 pickup. They can get the used Volvo for about $50,000. I think the Tesla will be in the $250,000 - $350,000 range. That is a lot of money for a RV puller truck that will spend a lot of time in the driveway or a RV storage yard.
Maybe once Tesla is. selling a lower range truck, say 250 miles and about 2/3 the cost, then they might see use by homeowners to pull a RV.
Haulage operators service their own.vehicles. They get tested every few weeks, so they are in the shop all the time. A fleet the size of the Pepsi pilot will rotate every truck through the shop on a continual basis.
They showed the long haul sleeper/camp chassis in the background videos while they talked. It looked extremely cool. Scroll back and take a look. Tesla better sell long range full camp for
It's a delivery event for Pepsi, not a technical deep-dive.
Tesla always remembers the charging points, that's one if the reasons as ti why they are so successful!
Everyone will tell you nothing replaces experience, Tesla has been building this for almost 20 years now, its not fair to compare Ford VW or any of these other large ice corporation to Tesla, they just dont have the right experience.
@@cryan9376Fair? Not the right experience? Exactly! 😊
Hello from Tobago, tesla fan and shareholder. Kevin.
Trains can be used for long haul. Electric semis can be used to move freight to and from freight rail stations and the customer's premises. Robotic trains already exist, the development of automatic container handling for trains is the other piece of the puzzle that needs to be addressed.
I think and hope that trains will become more electric drive, with trolly lines overhead. If the typical 5 unit train trailer that holds 5 cargo containers, and double stacked 10, they are linked with 6 each double wheel dollies between the 5 units, that is the modern way to carry cargo containers from the port to a distribution center. If each train unit could be powered by a 400 HP motor and a overhead line, or be connected to a train locomotive unit to get the power, then that could power the train with much lighter locomotives.
Right now a locomotive is 560,000 pounds, mostly because they have 12 wheels on the locomotive, and need that much weight to transfer the power to the steel wheels and to the rails without slipping. Yet if the power was moved to 4 adjoining 5 unit cargo container carriers, then the locomotive and it's 12 wheels would still not slip even if the locomotive weight was only about 250,000 pounds.
So instead of needing 4 locomotives at the front of the mile long cargo container train and 4,000 HP per locomotive, they could distribute the power among the 5 unit cargo container carriers. 400 hp per unit carrier, and you would need 10 - 15 of them distributed through the train to pull the load.
My thought is to require electric trains from Long Beach and LA harbor to downtown, in a already dedicated underground rail line that was set up about 15 years ago. (it is under the grade, and not covered by anything). Then over the next 5 years have all electric trains (using the 5 unit power with 400 - 600 HP motors) going all the way east to Palm Springs and north to Victorville. At Victorville, they can change to diesel power units at the front of the trains, and put on a mid train helper locomotive. However I think the train companies will see the lower cost of running on electric instead of diesel fuel will be a HUGE cost savings, and start to switch, and perhaps electrify the run all the way to Lost Vegas. (Lost Vages).
They could install wind turbines in many locations adjacent to the rail road right of way to power the overhead train power lines in the Victorville and Palm Springs areas. Other parts will need imported power to run the trains. My guess is they could use 15 of the 2.5 MW wind turbines in a 15 mile per hour breeze to power a train, that might have otherwise used 4 each 4,000 HP diesel engines and 12,000 gallons of diesel fuel every 24 hours.
Power = VI. Voltage x current = power.
Great proof of concept! Excellent presentation!
Ok iam a Trucker in Sweden. I have my own firm but i work as a subsideary. And in the Eu we have more restricted rulles. We can maximum drive 10 hours a day .but there are additional break rules ! You can only drive 4.5 hours at any time in a row ! After that you have to take 45 minute break. It can be split in 2 breaks periode but the last break needs to be at least 30 min. And then after 2 periods of 4.5 hours so 9 hours driving time in total. You need to hold another 45. To get the last extra hour of driving time. The caviat is that all trucks over 3.5 ton gros weight has a digital box that monitors whit gps and speed and time. So the driving time is only counted when the tiers roll. So driving time is counted expliset when driving. So at red lights it switches to so called "available" Wich doesn't use up your driving time but uses your "working hours" Wich is 12hours per 24 hour period. There are more rulles but we won't get in to that😉. I have a 60 ton gros rig truck and trailer. 4 axels on the truck and 3 on the trailer .And my rig use between 42- 55 liters of diesel per 100km. And it takes usaly takes 7-10min to refuel diesel 400 liters fuel. And another piglet for something called AdBlue . 60 liters that purefies diesel emitions... Long explanation but hope it helps. 🤣
Uk trucker, all the above is right apart from working time max inc driving and breaks is 13hours which can increase to 15 hours twice a week. So 11 hours rest between which can be returned to 9 hours twice in a week every other week. Rest reduced to 9 hours once the alternate weeks.
@@mullerszable Exactly Ian well said. I don't want to complicate things further. That is why i din't . Explain that one 😉. If we want to explain everything it's that the trucks are limited to 90-93 km/h top speed electronecly. I drive a Man Tgx 510. 8x4 tridem with gross eight 35 ton and i have jigg 3 axel jumbo wheels with a gross weight of 25 tons to it. Yeah Landscaping rig. What you got ?
@@antonkn3 same a MAN TGX 510 best truck I’ve drove in my short 6 years on the road. Trailer is a 13 meter double decker curtain sider. I’m mainly city and suburban areas doing Multi-drops, lots of awkward reverse manoeuvres I’m not sure how I’d feel about sitting in the middle 😅 in a Tesla semi. Plus the cab looks too long for most of our roads pulling 13 meter trailer. They may need a new design for Europe.
@@mullerszable 😆 awesome lol.. yeah great ergonomically ..but i had engine problems with mine .Piston rings were shot from the factory after 140k km . it used 8liters of oil every 2 weeks. i got it on warranty but still. mine is 2020. so keep on eye on that. I just wish that they come out with an Landscaping one soon to Europe so i can get one . Volvo. Scania and man cant match the range even sith this thing. and they cost Dubble as the tesla semi. .. yeah the sitting needs getting used to. there are many extra cameras. on the Semi. they are posty the full 800 km drive on youtubbe lets see what they say about it there what we can figure out.. safe travles and loads off money t you freind
Volts times amps equals watts. The higher, the voltage, the lower the amps. Tesla‘s switch to 48 V from the normal 12 V reduces wire size and increases efficiency. The semi at 1000 V a bit more than doubles for voltage so the increase in amperage is less. Transmission lines on the grid are ultra high voltage minimizing line loss.
*Power in watts = Voltage X Current.* It should be remembered more current needs thicker wires, which is why cross country power is high voltage to reduce cable weight/cost and less voltage drop so less wasted power.
Duke dugan is with you
Thank you for letting us listen in to your thoughts of the Tesla event, it has been very interesting.
Long-haul trucking is typically considered anything over 250 miles.
2:17:00 Seats can be added. Left/Right/Rear for passengers/Copilot, ..
Amazing channel Australia Brisbane
Cool, my fav tubers!
The semi uses about 500kwh of battery - so that could be 8 cars... however, even if there are only 1% of semis on the road (99% other vehicles) - Diesel engines in Semi's generate 20% of the gaseous pollution and 36% of general pollution (brake particulates - etc) - so Tesla is ignoring profit and making the planet a cleaner place - and safer place (no burning brakes on down-hills).
My thoughts on FSD for SEMI is that for the short haul you always require an operator for delivery...until optimus takes that job too
Ever see the lumber delivery trucks have the forklift tied to the back for deliveries, now your going to see an Optimus spread equal on the back of delivery trucks.
Yes, it can perhaps help both loading and unloading the truck. Can also be Amazon and Uber driver for deliveries. It is a large market opportunity if it can be solved. Likely in the long run but probably not in the next 5 years.
Stack the TESLA Solar tiles on trailers roofs - especially the refrigerated trailers....
Mega charger will increase the amperage but only about half as much since the voltage is about doubled.
You should be able to calculate the trucks weight
1) In the video during the presentation the truck that overtakes the semi on the incline Elon or the other guy says is 82k
2) It appears to be carrying 11 concrete "Jersey Barriers", 3 rows of 3 and 1 row of 2
3) "Jersey Barriers" are supposedly 4,000 pound's or a total of 44k
4) 82k less 44k means the truck plus trailer equals 38k
5) Trailers weigh 10k pounds so Teslas cab is somewhere around 30k pounds
The fact that they did not announce the weight means they are not near the average of an ice semi
Anyone with industry experience should be able to identify the exact weight of the trailers and the barrier and can reduce the error bars on my estimate
❤ things are getting better. The more we fly we gain in knowledge
I don’t think you want to get rid of rail just replace the diesel semi

3:05:50 Clip that Electrified used in his video
Great Quote from Corey
Dan Priestly rocked it!
Tesla trucks are a local route truck. They are not a lower 48 states over the road long distance truck. Just as a Model Y realy shines as a local town car that can go long distance if it needs to but it is not a long distance only car.
When batteries are strung in series, it increases voltage. In parallel it amperage. Typical EV batteries, are a combination of series and parallel that add up to the desired voltage.
Elon said other vehicles. You started about using the new 1000-volt charges for current vehicles, what about Fire engines, ambulances, and heavy construction vehicles.
Fazard, no doubt you've seen this before, however l am compelled to state this: About 3 years a ago Lindsay Fox and l discussed the Electric Truck in his Kitchen one early Saturday.
You can _ONLY IMAGINE_ how that went . My guess is Lindsay WILL buy a SEMI one day. My total respect for him as he's played a big part in who l have become today.
Perhaps my old friend Peter Fox is watching your video and reading this. If NOT, missed again!
that 82,000 pounds thing is more about protecting other road users, roads and bridges than ensuring you don't exceed the vehicle's limits
Thanks for your insightful comment.
Most of us don't realize the implications of heavy shipping weight on the highway/roads infrastructure.
Farzad
Are you aware of a company called Range Energy? They are located in Mtn View California. They are worth a look.
Most residential electrcity in the US is 110/220 volts. 1000 volt charging seems a possible hazard...the charger handle is holding 1000 volts with amps too?
Roadster could use the same 1Megawatt Architecture ...Maybe that is why they said vehicles instead of just limiting Cybertruck and Semi
It is best to think of voltage as pressure. Amperage is volume of electricity. Watts is the voltage times the amperage.
So a 500 volt battery to get a 10 KW output would require 20 amps, while a 1,000 volt battery would be 10 amps.
As for the motor being the size of a football, I can only guess how they make it so small. More below.
As for the inverter that the Plaid uses, and the Tesla Truck, yes they "Could" be the same, however the Plaid will need to run 1,000 amps through it and the motor for about 6 seconds before the car is going 80 MPH, and the need to run amps through the motor is basically back to normal, and only say 40 amps. (40 amps X 400 volts is 16 KW) However the semi would have that 250 amp load all the time while moving down the road at 65 MPH, so it should be a much higher amperage rated components inside. 2 KW per mile = 120 KW per hour, or 1,000 volt battery X 120 amps "Average draw" while going up a hill might be 300 amps from the battery.
I work in the air conditioning for over 40 years, and a typical 25 HP fan motor is about 200 pounds and much larger than a football. I am sure they "Could" make the motor smaller, by using higher frequency drive and water cooling to dissipate the heat from the motor.
So by increasing the frequency to 400 Hz, the motor can be much smaller. Yet a 25 HP fan motor would draw about 30 KW, or 70 amps at 240 volts three phase, and 35 amps at 480 volts three phase. So the wiring inside the motor must be fairly large to handle the 35 amps going through it, without overheating and being damaged. By going to a higher voltage, you get the same KW of power to the motor at much less amperage, so smaller wire.
So many will assume that the voltage from the charger to the 1,000 volt battery will be 1,000 volts going through the power line. Or 1,000 amps at 1,000 volts to make 1,000,000 watts. However this is very impossible. 350 MCM wire is very difficult to bend, let alone put into a charger that can be moved by one person without a crane. Your typical gas car will have about #4 wire to the battery cable, and that is about all that you will want in the "Portable cable to charge your car". Maybe #2 wire, rated at 100 amps per NEC code. #4 is max fuse size of 70 amps.
So how to move 1,000,000 watts with only 100 amps of power? By using liquid cooling, the wire might be able to move double the amperage that is available with #2 wire, say 200 amps. By using three phase power, then you get 1.73 times the power of a single phase AC power system. So 100 amps at 100 volts single phase would be 10,000 watts, while three phase would be 17,300 watts.
So getting out my calculator, the 17,300 watts / 1,000,000 means you would need 5,800 amps going through the wire at 100 volts. Or 580 amps at 1,000 volts. Or 100 amps at 5,800 volts. So my guess is the charge voltage will be very high, like 6,000 volts at three phase power. Then at the truck, they can reduce the voltage to the 1,100 volts DC to charge the battery at a reasonable speed and amperage.
So my math. 5,800 volts X 1.73 = 10,034. Then 100 amps = 1,003,400 watts total.
Now if the 1,000,000 watt charger is fed with 480 VAC, the normal voltage found in most industrial warehouses, they will need 1,204 amps on a 1,500 amp circuit breaker. (because NEC requires a full time load to be rated at 80% of the circuit breaker trip rating). So I think they will change the voltage to the chargers to 4,160 volt power. This means you would only need to have about 150 amps to feed that charger at 1,000,000 watts. So Much smaller wires on the feed to the charger.
4,160 X 1.73 = 7,200 volts X 139 amps = 1,000,000 watts. 139 X 1.2 = a 166 amp wire rating or 175 amp circuit breaker rating. Wire size is only 00 gauge at 4,160 volts three phase. (2/0).
It is normal to run a large centrifugal chiller on 4,160 volt power in a large building. So City Hall in Long Beach California has 4,160 volt chillers in the penthouse, and a 1,000 amp power supply to the building and 175 amps to each of the 750 HP chillers.
My guess is the Tesla motor will be over 400 Hz and over 2,000 volts to run the motor.
My guess is that the Tesla truck charger plug, and the Cyber truck will have one input for the super high voltage plug, and a second power input for the Tesla supercharger at 350 KW power, and maybe a third plug for the home charger at 20 KW rate. Then interlocking doors, so that you can only open one door at a time, to charge your truck.
At 2 hours 50 minutes into this video, the guy talks about using the plaid inverter to run the Tesla truck. At 400 volts battery, the plaid will use one inverter, at 1,000 volts the truck will use a much higher KW rated inverter and rated at the higher voltage input.
If there is a limiting factor on the inverters is 600 volts, they might split the battery pack in 1/2 and use two inverters in series to produce the power required for the motor? Just a pure guess here. My guess is the output will be say 1,200 Hz and 4,500 volts at road speed at 65 MPH. By that is only a guess. I would be surprised to find out I am close to being right. That would allow the amperage to be a reasonable amount, so the motor windings will not need to be HUGE.
If the inverter triacs had a limit of about 600 volts, then changing the other cars to a higher voltage might become difficult, thus the reason to keep it below 600 volts. Maybe in a couple of years they will be able to run the inverters on a higher battery voltage, and be able to reduce the amperage of the battery wires.
If the frame can be made lightweight, then they might meet the 17,000 pound GVW of the average diesel class 8 truck. I think most class 8 trucks have a sleeper cab, while the other 40% are day cabs. My guess is with 1 MW of batteries, Tesla would be about 21,000 - 24,000 pounds or about 3,000 to 8,000 less total cargo capacity than a normal diesel truck. I can't wait until they get a Tesla on a scale and check the weight.
Maybe if they decide to put in a bed, it might be some sort of bench seat in the back, with a inflatable mattress? and some sort of rails to prevent the sleeping passenger from getting thrown forward in the event of a collision.
As for road trains, maybe they could have some sort of tow bar between the two or three following trucks? Then towing a second and third truck would be legal. But could all three be running at 82,000 GVWR? That is not allowed under current regulations. And once you leave the freeway, you would need to have 3 drivers in the now detached trucks to drive the three trucks to the final delivery point, a couple of miles from the freeway. Going through a green light that turns yellow and then red after the third truck enters the light would become a problem. If the overall length of the truck is 53 feet of trailer, and 23 - 28 feet of truck, that is 76 feet overall length, so three of them spaced even 25 feet between them, is about 300 foot long road train, and would take 3 seconds to pass you at 60 MPH, and 6 seconds at 30 MPH, long enough for cross traffic to get a green light if the forward truck enters the intersection with a 3 second long yellow light.
Tesla Semi are game changer! They will disrupt the supply chain and make it more efficient with their Smart vehicles!!
You guys are great (towards end with Cory). However, you are all missing the point on the volume of batteries consumed. If you are worried about battery supply, Tesla should not build any mega packs for electric grid… Based on your vehicle theory. Tesla has figured all this out. They will not be $350-$400k trucks. And they will have supply they need. Yes, huge backlog of orders overall. But, they will not lose production capacity for cars and cyber truck. IMO. Anyone want to bet some Tequila on this?
I just wait for @MunroLive to dig into it :P Hi Cory & Sandy, will you brake SEMI apart?
1000 V x X Amps = Power in kW 1000V means thinner wires , means less weight .
Yes, 1,000 volt battery means 1/2 the wire size required to run a 400 volt like the Plaid. However at 1,000 volts, and 2 KW per mile, that means they need 120 KW per hour at 60 MPH, or 120 amps from the 1,000 volt battery. Much less than the 300 amps from a 400 volt battery, but still a lot of power!
And charging - 1,000 amps if the charger output is 1,000 volts DC and 1,000,000 watts. That is not practical with normal size wires, even if made with a very high silver content to keep down heating. So 5,800 volts at three phase would be about 100 amps at 1,000,000 watts. That would mean about size 2 wire to handle the load using a reasonable weight cable to the truck. Then a converter inside the truck will produce the 1,000 amps at 1,000 volts to charge the battery. It might also have 5 battery banks, so 200 amps per battery bank, all running on the input voltage coming from the Mega charger cord.
Sounds like a good idea to have a truck come to the disabled semi and replace it temporarily
Thank - you Pepsi!
They will show off the Cyber truck, and behind it, on a trailer will be a surprise! But, it will be covered up! Will they remove the cover>?
1:41:22 wrap-up - almost 2 hours.
❤awesome , 👏👏

Adding a bed to the cab will likely increase the frontal area. Thus decrease the range.
Nope.
The bed will fit where the corridor is at present (and may fold into the wall.
Typical deisel cabs with a bed are taller
I have been trying unsuccessfully to find the name and position of Elon's co-presenter for this event, who I thought did a great job. Can anybody help me out? Elon referred to him once as Dan or Ben or something similar. I couldn't quite make it out.
I found it: Dan Priestley, Sr. Manager, Semi Truck Engineering at Tesla
i guess that facility is about to ramp production by now? no?
It’s illegal for a trucker to drive for more than 9 hours out of 24. So plenty of time to charge…
this 400 times asking about audio was just annoying - i saw no problems tbh - and it doesnt matter. Distances INCLUDE some delay - its a logic thing. Unbelievable .. this guys should live in the 90's again to know what a REAL delay ist :D Luxury problems haha
😂😂I only come Here for the laughs. Praise the electric Jesus 😂😂
Jesus Christ Bradford. With a name like Bradford you can’t be messing up with your tech.
Where was it delivered to? This is just hype to inflate stock.
Hi everybody , wishful thinking , waiting for FSDddddd wide Release in Europe am i dreaming ?? ELON tell us the true Story please !!
You Will wait for the truck for eternity.
Realistic real world range is probably more like 350 miles which is still pretty good. 500 miles demo was going down elevation 5000 ft and they probably minimized the drag too and under ideal conditions. Real world test would be going back 500 miles from San Diego back to Fremont instead (up 5000 ft elevation). I think at this stage this is still limited production to selected customers and they will try to improve range with newer batteries hopefully once going into more volume production.
They have the elevation map. It was up and down. Final elevation was about the same as starting.
They stated multiple times that no special aerodynamic treatments were used, did you watch the presentation?
Where Mat
It's about teslas' mission..to transform the world to SUSTAINABLE ENERGY.
York, s.c.
Why not changing the Truck after 500 miles. Much cheaper
The Q i wanted to be A is. Will the semi be compatible with EU rules?
Australia is relaxing 4" on width rules to allow Tesla semi truck.
Ohhh common guys! do i have to explain everything iam only 57 min. In the video lol !?🤣🤔 The coca-cola Renault Trucks are built like they are beacuse of rulles ! It's "cab over engine " beacuse of the length restrictions ! So you have to chose slick cab or smaller cargo bay. And the mirrors i have 6 on mine also are beaches of regulations and pretty handy to in city trafik . Acctualy i would like one more above my door ... Moore Questions ask me i well answer when I have time. Farzad
Corey's on a mild sedative.
Farzad pretty cool analysis brother of Mr. Musk's high quality presentation of his Semi Truck delivery nonetheless the only drawback I found was ethically problematic was the fact that the customer was PepsiCo itself I think they could've done better, because see sodas are horrible for human's health. This sh!t is hella loaded with sugar and all kind of chemicals straight up deadly stuff for sure! And even know business is business I believe it wasn't a wise communication decision and I find it odd from a company which main goal is to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy for willing to publicly advertise about a partnership with a company which manufacturers the mf'n Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Cheetos and stuff.
I mean I just wish they'd have communicated on a healthier partnership such as Fiji Water instead of PepsiCo I'm jut sayin...
They own Aquafina and lifewater..
@@ssing7113Lol you got a point😅...
Musk doesn't think this ethically or healthily, obviously. For health consciousness you have to look to his brother Kimbal. Elon is more of a global population type humanitarian, not an individual country or personal level humanitarian. He's final solution oriented, he cares for technology and industry at giga scales. That's why he stupidly still likes nuclear power regardless of all its massive drawbacks, because ultimately its still CO2 free power. He rejects anything that he considers "woke", what others consider socially, racially or environmentally just and necessary. That anti-woke stance is why there is so much racism and sexism in his factories, he just doesn't care on that small level and encourages anyone to reject shareholder and employee proposals to introduce more humane conditions.
@@2nd3rd1st Interesting!
@@turkhi Don't take my word for it, it's just my opinion. But it's well known that emotional empathy is not Elon's strength, he's better with machines and numbers. But that's probably due to his Asperger's.
From Portugal Tesla is fantastic

Sorry but I was very disappointed with Musks delivery and lack of real stats and specs. He just seemed totally unprepared. It was like he had other pressing matters on his mind.
The semi is the STUPIDEST use of them itty bitty lithium D cells in battery HISTORY
When one of these monstocitites catches fire better get the marshmallows and weiners out.
If a pickup truck has zero range hauling a trailer how the HELL can an 18 wheeler be electrified? Dunno, sounds like another Elon musk wet dream.
