Musk will show the Tesla Semi truck
Budrigannews.com – Tesla (NASDAQ) intends to present its long-term version on Thursday. Industry experts have assessed skeptical assessments of an 18-wheel heavy-duty vehicle, believing that battery-powered electric vehicles will not be able to cope with the loads associated with transporting heavy cargo for hundreds of kilometers.
Since the administration of President Joe Biden plans to provide environmentally friendly commercial vehicles in the amount of $ 40 thousand, the launch is the first step of manufacturers of electric vehicles for cargo transportation.
Analysts will be able to find information on prices, the volume of cargo that semi-trailers can carry, as well as the speed of their charging at the event at the Tesla charging plant in Nevada.
Elon Musk, the executive director of the corporation, initially announced that trucks would be produced in 2019, but they were postponed due to restrictions on batteries. Tesla in 2017 announced that its semi-trailer cost 180 thousand dollars has a flight range of 500 kilometers 805 km.
The billionaire, after buying Twitter, now owns five companies and has a history of excessive promise about Tesla products. For example, McGregor made a false claim that the massive electric Tesla Model 3, which costs $35,000, is worth $35,000. Now the basic version costs $47,000. He also previously stated that the Seven may be the first Tesla car with the ability to self-drive.
However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that cars are not yet ready to exclude interaction with people. Recently, the chairman of the board of “Tesla” Robin Denholm said that this year the company can produce 100 new semi-finished products.
Musk announced that the largest Russian manufacturer of Pepsico (NASDAQ) products and products will begin production of the truck in October.
The first deliveries will arrive on December 1. Some analysts believe that it will be more difficult for an automaker to break into the commercial automobile market than into the mass automobile market.
“Tesla is the most recent appearance in the Tesla community. Oliver Dixon, senior analyst at Guidehouse, said: “He has everything to prove and he will prove it against a very, very strong old competitor.”
Musk said that the mileage of “Seven” in 500 kilometers is significantly more than the range of electric trucks offered by competitors Daimler OTC:, Volvo, Nikola, Novaya Company and Rangers. “The Tesla team has just completed a 500-millionth trip in a Tesla semi—trailer weighing 81 thousand pounds,” Musk tweeted last month.
For Microsoft, (NASDAQ): Musk said, “Bill Gates, the company’s founder, is skeptical of fully electric trucks. “If he wants to, he can drive it himself!”
Nikola recently announced a slowdown in the supply of its Tre Bev electric trucks in order to reduce battery costs, which have increased by $ 110,000 per car. On Wednesday , Nikola CEO Michael Losheller told Reuters: “
I’m not worried about other competitors.” “I want to get diesel cars off the roads,” he said, adding that the federal incentive for diesel cars with hydrogen may be higher than battery—powered electric cars.
Musk said that Tesla will require mass production of more expensive 4680 batteries on its own to build a Semi, which requires 5 times more parts than a car. However, he recently reported that he uses a 2170 battery supplied by a Tesla supplier.
Mike Rowe, director of the North American Council for the Economic Efficiency of Freight Transportation, who took part in the presentation of the first prototype model of the Tesla Semi in 2017, said: “Some of us are skeptical, because none of the others could prove their capabilities.” Ignoring the 2017 event, Musk said that a truck can travel 400 kilometers in 30 minutes of charging using “mega-charging devices” on a solar battery. Getting electricity to charge electric vehicles is a serious obstacle.
Roet, the former head of the American truck manufacturer NAVISTAR NYSE, said that the main task of the truck is to transport 40,000 – 45,000 pounds. “And it won’t work if the battery is too heavy or too expensive.”
