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 loves all types of car, from steam engines, to turbines and EVs.
He’s hugely knowledgeable about them.
This Tesla Semi can go 800 km on one charge. And recharge in half an hour. It’s more aerodynamic than a Bugatti Veyron. It cost about 20% less to run than the equivalent diesel truck. It doesn’t slow down when it goes up hills, 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. So 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.
These guys are some of what makes me optimistic about America. While the shenanigans go on in Washington, people are out there doing stuff, inventing stuff, improving stuff, making stuff. Making stuff to make the world better. America’s inventive can-do spirit is exemplified by these guys.
ADDED: Meantime ning nongs in Australia torched a Tesla showroom. These are the retards that thought Elon Musk was a climate hero. Until he used his brain to leave the tribe.
