You keep calling the electric motors, "the engine" which is a correct name for it. However, this is confusing to many as an engine normally refers to a fossil fuel burning power unit. Electric motors are referred to as electric motors or just motors, even though some call ICE engines, motors which is also correct. Great video, thanks!
We are sorry that this incident occurred, this will be corrected in the following episodes. Thank you very much for this enthusiastic comment! Have a good day
Think most analysts concentrate too much on quarterly figures and PR from the company itself. With Tesla there is another game going on and you have to understand the driving vision behind and all moves make sense. Think the shares will skyrocket to 450 USD shortly when there are more Semi and Cybertruck out there and visible to the public as Tesla keeps on not financing media to tell fake stories about the better future that however never comes. Prefer therefore ‚Elon time’ to come sometimes a little later but to always deliver better than expected.
I'd like to see Tesla brand trailers next with steerable tandems [with cameras] and an extra battery underneath to run refrigerator units as well as useful power for the driver to use while off the clock for a TV, lights, CPAP, small cabin refrigerator, etc.
This is the next logical area of improvement. I wonder, if a Tesla matching trailer could be made out of a carbon fibre tub chassis, reducing the weight of the trailer by up to 60%, with all of the benefits that would have in lowering the overall towing weight thereby, increasing the payload, increasing the rigidity, reducing the breaking distance, increasing acceleration and increasing the mileage range. If you consider that if the towing weight of the trailer is halved, this could mean that a Tesla Semi may be able to pull two conjoined trailers, doubling the capacity and doubling the roof area, to install solar voltaic panels, to provide electricity for supplementing onboard systems.
What about PV systems on top? German might be automobile producer with a solar car failed but continued with formable PV panels that can be mounted on trailers and busses. This in middle Europe is usually enough to cool load or passengers. A dedicated Tesla trailer should incorporate this feature together with batteries.🤔🤓🇨🇭
Sorry we didn't say it specifically, causing you to misunderstand. it means the Tesla Semi has a load capacity of up to 88,000 pounds, "towing capacity." However, it will not be able to exceed 82,000 pounds according to US law! thanks for your suggestion!
I’ve been seeing a lot of the semi’s with an extra axle on the semi that lifts up traps down and also trailers with extra axles so the standard two. I was just wondering what about all that is it just for road conditions such as soft roads or do they allow you to haul extra weight?
You can haul 88,000 lbs all day long without an over weight permit. Everything is fine till you get stopped and weighed. Only then there will be an issue.
Your comment falls into a typical category of mocking small beginnings. First the naysayers said it was impossible, then when Tesla achieved a very difficult milestone they then fall back to mocking the small number of vehicles currently being produced.
I don't want to drive something that will EVER need an update. Yet these people claim only high tech standards involved. Software updates are participation trophies in my opinion, get it right before it goes out the door. We didn't need software updates in the 70s.
@@prianigel This is utterly ridiculous. Your mobile phone updates on its own. As a computer scientist, I can attest that regular updates are essential to stay relevant. Those who don't adapt will be left in the dust. The iPhone has totally eclipsed the Nokia 3310, all thanks to its software. Software is going to be the game-changer for electric vehicles, which is why German automakers are apprehensive. They recognize that tech companies have an edge over them in this department.
A reference to "engine" is made throughout the video. I thought they were 100% electric-driven, with the Plaid's carbon-wrapped electric motors. Engines are basically a bag of bolts and a servicing nightmare!
Not putting this down, but 2023 has been mostly a beta operation at extremely low test-volumes, hard to consider the 2024 as anything but the best possible starter-version.
I would like to see a solar powered roof and side panels on a box that has a power train and battery system to help propel the truck and act as a power station when not in use. Maybe the truck is not the only solution but the trailer.
Obviously, nobody proofread the transcript before putting an automated voice to these videos. Too many errors in terms. Using car instead of truck; gasoline instead of diesel; engine instead of motor; on and on…..
Not necessary. The regen braking in the tractor provides all necessary regen braking under any conceivable circumstances, including descending Donner Pass with a gross weight of 82,000 lbs. without using the friction brake at all.
OK, as a career truck, driver of nearly 30 years when I look at this, the interior looks amazing. My main question is when backing into a tight area which I do on a regular basis I need to put my head out the window and change angle of where I’m looking so I don’t run into anything, how do I do this in a tesla with a seat being in the center. Having a traditional cab with the two seats in the front side-by-side with the driver seat being on the left side like normal would make much more sense. It is going to be an incredible adjustment to change the position, my other question is where do I put my lunchbox? I don’t stop to eat at a restaurant or a diner. I eat while I’m driving down the road.
Wonder in what year Tesla will stop tweaking the Semi and actually start producing them in volume and get them on the roads? This procrastination is getting boring.
The end game for a Tesla semi is it won't need a driver or maybe a driver for the first and last mile i.e get the truck out of depot and at the other end into the depot. This means for long haul over highways the truck can drive and charge non stop. Mind you the sleeper is a good option for a truck charging up overnight.
This channel is horrible.... gasoline?... Pepsi and Walmart use for years? Pepsi got first ones last December...not even a year... nothing here is correct
Speaking of lithium the world's largest lithium Source has been found of all places in the United States in the state of Nevada turns out that a old volcano happens to be full of lithium and I say it's the world's largest source ever found they're going to start mining it in 2026 that should help prices a lot and let alone secure the US's access to lithium despite foreign competition
I can’t help but wonder with such a large surface area. Will they add light weight PV cells to the trailer surface. It seems like a logical next move. You could safely expect 6 to 8Kw on full Sun I would imagine
I've done the math; solar panel on the roof would gain about 13 miles a day, but additional weight and drag would reduce range by the same amount. More seriously, payload would be reduced by the weight of the panels, inverters, mounts, wiring, connectors, etc.
@@BigBen621 I can understand that the additional weight could be an issue but the panels that they use in Aptera have overcome some of these problems. The inverters that charge the truck may be able to handle the current coming from the trailer. If the drag issue is eliminated, and the onboard systems that are currently in use can process the current flow, it may be worth the link. The lighting circuit of the trailer may conceivably be able to double as a charging circuit if handled correctly.
@@skipwood2059 I imagine it will be something that will evolve over time. The PV cells that Aptera have developed seem like an appropriate fit although as you say the cost to benefit ratio, might not work out?
It's loaded efficiency is 1.7 kwh/mi. Up here in Canada, BC at a commercial rate of 8 cents per kwh, that amounts to 14 cents/mi. for a loaded configuration. Compare that to a diesel truck mileage of $1.00/mi, that is 7 times cheaper. Time to buy more Tesla shares ;) Cheers.
Its very very noisy with a terrible whiny noise, the drive line definitely needs sorting out. Auto-park is a must, imagine that the driver press the Auto Park button the the truck with trailer manoeuvres in a Tesco delivery bay, that would be awesome!
Not necessary. The regen braking in the tractor provides all necessary regen braking under any conceivable circumstances, including descending Donner Pass with a gross weight of 82,000 lbs. without using the friction brake at all.
@@BigBen621 Right, but regen on the trailer would produce more energy to extend the range. I suppose it depends on whether the investment would be worth the payoff...
@@SlipKnotRicky My point, though, is that regen on the trailer would *not* produce more energy. The amount of energy to be recovered is fixed; and if the Tesla Semi can handle one of the longest descents anywhere in the US, 7,000+ ft. from Donner Summit to Sacramento, without using its friction brakes, which Tesla has stated it does, then every bit of available energy is already being recaptured by the drive axles in the tractor; and the only thing regen braking in the trailer would do is split the recovery of the same amount of energy between the tractor and the trailer. If the Tesla Semi were having to routinely use its friction brakes in addition to regen braking, then there would be additional energy to be recovered by regen braking in the trailer; but that's not the case, and so there isn't.
The famous danger of big truck is the load like I beans penetrating the driver seat in an emergency brake. What solution does Tesla has regard to this problem? Old experienced driver usually run over small cars instead of e-brake.
Trucks do not emergency brake like cars, that is why you see lumps in the road from semis braking and axle weights shift. There are laws on the books requiring a stop barrier behind the driver already. Those long farings I see would not last without getting torn up from tight turns. Anyway, good luck.
Tesla has autobrake with radar,they detect Collisons from from very far away prompting the auto brake even if the driver is distracted it will do it on its Own.
@@magallon643 collision avoidance does help in minimizing accidents. But emergency brake is unpredictable and is usually others' fault, they cannot be detected even at near distance, resulting in not enough braking distance.

The author consistently confuses the terms engine and motor. He uses the terms interchangeably. This is technically incorrect. Engines are :heat engines and are internal combustion. Motors are electrical. Tesla does not have an engine. Period. An ICE car or truck does NOT have a motor. It has an engine. You need to be schooled.
@@mikem6549 You seem to be saying five motors. Actually one for cruise, and two more engaged with a spline clutch for acceleration. If that's what you meant, you're correct.

Doesn’t seem to be a need for a sleeper until the charging network for the Semi is more robust. I was under the impression that there are very few stations setup to charge the semi at this time with them being basically at Tesla and frito-lay.
Also I will be nice that the megachargers will be install next to the major Rest Truck stops,with showers and groceries kinda like they did at Kettleman city,that charging station Tesla provides restrooms and coffe with snacks,next to it there's restaurants,with other gas stations.
A lot of these up grades you highlighted raise the questions why were they not installed in earlier models? It sounds like the 2023 was not well designed. This is not a good advert for Tesla.
From Wikipedia: A minimum viable product (MVP) is a version of a product with just enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future product development. A focus on releasing an MVP means that developers potentially avoid lengthy and (possibly) unnecessary work. Instead, they iterate on working versions and respond to feedback, challenging and validating assumptions about a product's requirements.
The tesla semi truck hasn't been on the road for "years" so Pepsi hasn't used them years. They got it in December 2022 and also semi trucks don't use gasoline. After these two oversights within the first two minutes I stopped the video. Get facts correct otherwise what is the point?

It cannot haul 88 pounds of pepsy, 82 is gross vihicle weight, the dot gave electric truck extra 2k pounds because they’re much havier than diesel truck, so tesla can haul less cargo than diesel truck
There is no Tesla phone, that is a hoax being promulgated by the lunatic fringe, and if you believe there’s a Tesla phone, I have a few bridges I’d like to talk to you about buying.😁😁😁
I now think a Tesla phone is a definite possibility because a phone is a chip, a battery, a lot of software and a screen and a charger. And Tesla has experience in making all of those components.
@@danielstapler4315. Elon builds companies/products that are 5-10 times better than the competition. The question is could he make a smart phone that is 5-10 times better than an iPhone? I don’t think so. The only reason for him to make a smart phone would be if Apple cut off service to X.
If Tesla really wants to freak out the trucking world and prove Beyond a doubt it's got the power for wherever the Heavy Haul truck is a must and a need proving what it could do I suggest the full I5 corridor running the full I-80 corridor along with I-40 those three corridors when it comes to trucking they're not kind to weak vehicles but I used to run team across them corridors so it can be done but that would shut up every single one of the naysayers along with running what's known as trains I'm talking three to five trailers long Interstate dedicated
I don’t know why he keeps saying engine there is no engine. It’s an electric motor gas or diesel is an engine. This guy doesn’t apparently know the difference.

Also I will be nice that the megachargers will be install next to the major Rest Truck stops,with showers and groceries kinda like they did at Kettleman city,that charging station Tesla provides restrooms and coffe with snacks,next to it there's restaurants,with other gas stations.
To the contrary, everything needs a sleeper unit. I would put one in my pick up truck if I could find a way to do it. I mean, who can resist a nap.?
@@sandyt4343 people some how manage to sleep in a car when traveling,so I think it will be somehow ok without it.

A lot of these up grades you highlighted raise the questions why were they not installed in earlier models? It sounds like the 2023 was not well designed. This is not a good advert for Tesla.
From Wikipedia:
A minimum viable product (MVP) is a version of a product with just enough features to be usable by early customers who can then provide feedback for future product development.
A focus on releasing an MVP means that developers potentially avoid lengthy and (possibly) unnecessary work. Instead, they iterate on working versions and respond to feedback, challenging and validating assumptions about a product's requirements.
88,000lbs plus the weight of the truck & trailer ? NOT !
The tesla semi truck hasn't been on the road for "years" so Pepsi hasn't used them years. They got it in December 2022 and also semi trucks don't use gasoline. After these two oversights within the first two minutes I stopped the video. Get facts correct otherwise what is the point?
@HW2800 Your comment falls into a typical category of mocking small beginnings. First the naysayers said it was impossible, then when Tesla achieved a very difficult milestone they then fall back to mocking the small number of vehicles currently being produced.
Damn do I smell opportunity, or what? Elon, forget about this space travel shit and high speed internet communication everywhere malarkey. Start upping your game, man! CyberTrailers, man! CyberTrailers! Imagine a big ass smart trailer behind the smart ass Tesla Semi. The intricate things it could haul; the unbelievable auto-driving capabilities it could enable; just the smart ass combination it could be! Wow! I wish i knew where to begin. CyberTrailers, young man! The future is CyberTrailers!
What semi uses gasoline?

Amazing
It cannot haul 88 pounds of pepsy, 82 is gross vihicle weight, the dot gave electric truck extra 2k pounds because they’re much havier than diesel truck, so tesla can haul less cargo than diesel truck
Can please tell me about tesla phone❤❤
Maybe it will be in next episodes, Let’s wait!!
There is no Tesla phone, that is a hoax being promulgated by the lunatic fringe, and if you believe there’s a Tesla phone, I have a few bridges I’d like to talk to you about buying.😁😁😁
I now think a Tesla phone is a definite possibility because a phone is a chip, a battery, a lot of software and a screen and a charger. And Tesla has experience in making all of those components.
@@danielstapler4315. Elon builds companies/products that are 5-10 times better than the competition. The question is could he make a smart phone that is 5-10 times better than an iPhone? I don’t think so. The only reason for him to make a smart phone would be if Apple cut off service to X.
There is so much cope in this video.
You said it. "Unbelievable" It's pure vaporware. To every Musk rat here. Don't hold your breath waiting for "perfection".
If Tesla really wants to freak out the trucking world and prove Beyond a doubt it's got the power for wherever the Heavy Haul truck is a must and a need proving what it could do I suggest the full I5 corridor running the full I-80 corridor along with I-40 those three corridors when it comes to trucking they're not kind to weak vehicles but I used to run team across them corridors so it can be done but that would shut up every single one of the naysayers along with running what's known as trains I'm talking three to five trailers long Interstate dedicated
I don’t know why he keeps saying engine there is no engine. It’s an electric motor gas or diesel is an engine. This guy doesn’t apparently know the difference.
Where are the real numbers? Everything is a % of an unknown number or 200Lbs lighter than an unknown number. EXACTLY how many KWhrs will there be? What EXACTLY is the type of battery, what will the range be? Stop waffling and provided useful facts.
Thank you for your comments. We have compiled information from many sources, so it is difficult to reveal specifically. In the next episodes we will mention it more clearly and help you have fun with that information, sorry if this video makes you feel uncomfortable.
Is this any more real than robotaxi?
"needs gasoline." And that's where I stopped watching...
Yeah-current trucks sure do burn a lot of "gasoline"
I laughed so hard at this stupidity
Tesla Car World, Where are you getting this information from? Tesla guards this so carefully and is never released to the public.
Did you work for Tesla?
Do you have inside information?
If any of these questions can be answered then we may believe the information you shared with us.
We are sorry if this video makes you unhappy. In the process of making videos, we will occasionally make certain mistakes and this information is compiled by us with many sources. Thank you for your sincere comments. Please look forward to interesting videos from us in the next time !!
I believe the video along with the channel comments if you look at all the answers and some of the mistakes that have been made along with the comment answers is AI Generated.
@@jamesl197999. Good point.
It’s all irrelevant….trucking companies who were on board for switching have learned the grid cannot support the transition…..the utility companies are basically laughing in their faces at the request. 30 trucks is twice the draw as the plant that builds them. Not happening
I’ve never seen so much non-information, and incorrect terminology. TEsla Semis so NOT have engines, they have motors l. If you get something as basic as that wrong, The rest of what you present is highly suspect
If they are better, cheaper to operate, and more productive Why is the ATA against them?
"Andrew Boyle, ATA first vice chair and co-president of Massachusetts-based Boyle Transportation, went to Washington this week to testify before a Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on the future of clean vehicles. As the manager of a truck fleet with one of the strongest environmental records in the industry today, Boyle injected a heavy dose of reality into the debate happening on Capitol Hill and nationwide over electric-vehicle mandates.

What a horrible Ai generated narrative- you are fooling no one. 👎👎👎
Is this all made up?
don't believe anything from this channel
You folks are rediculous; who cares what changes they say they've made in this fake Semi truck .. They've made 24 total, oh was it 23? I forget these are having such a giant impact on the Semi industry.. OK there are 9 million heavy trucks and 20+ Telsa Semi's but just you wait .. and wait and wait and some day! That is the fing motto of the entire EV industry - some day - some day.. maybe some day.. OK maybe not.
I think tesla can eat 💩.
