Jay Leno is a huge car guy. He owns 180 cars kept in “Jay’s Big Dog Garage”, in Burbank CA, worth some $US 100 million. He’s for all types, from steam engines, to turbines and EVs.
He’s hugely knowledgeable about them. In the video above he asks interesting and interested questions.
This thing can go 800 km on one charge. And recharge in half an hour. It’s more aerodynamic than a Bugatti Veyron. It is about 20% less to run than the equivalent diesel truck. It doesn’t slow down when it goes up hill, a big safety feature. Safety is built in to the whole concept, as the two Tesla guys explain.
Trucks are 1% of U.S. traffic, but consume 18% of all diesel. Tesla trucks are going to reduce that dramatically.
Inside it’s a cool truck. Seat in the middle. Office chair for a travelling office.
Production starts this year. As do Cybercabs. So, a big year for Tesla.
