Tesla Semi Delivery — A New Tesla Era In More Ways Than One?

This week, at the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, Tesla delivered the first Tesla Semis to PepsiCo. I watched it live, being hugely excited about it due to the reasons I mentionedThen I watched it again. And again. Now, as I write this, I’m watching the delivery event a fourth time as I write this.

Musk and Priestley move on to discussion of the impact of the Tesla Semi in terms of emissions and sound, and how that aligns with the mission of Tesla. A slide is shown titledwhich includes a covered robotaxi as the fifth slot, although it isn’t mentioned. Next up is the powertrain itself, which Musk and Priestley note is based on the Model S and X Plaid powertrain, but with the ability to disconnect two of the drive units when not needed for further efficiency. This is illustrated with a fully loaded Tesla Semi climbing a 6% grade and using the power provided to pass and even gain speed. What goes up must come down, so they discuss how regenerative braking allows the truck to not burn through brakes and adds a layer of safety at the same time.

Just another Tesla marketing stunt.. like the lame duck Cybertruck.. Tesla can't build either one profitably or in volume. Due to massive Musk ego, no experience of either market, and truly dismal design.

I was deeply disappointed. I only learned about the 3 motors and 1000V charging (not really news).
