Truck for dummies
13.5 feet tall?? Wowsers, there are a lot of places that top won't go… wild they made it THAT tall. 12' 9" is often pushing height limits in many areas.
I wish Tesla was a New Zealand Company
That truck is the future
I cannot wait for Tesla Semi to come to AUSTRALIA. We save on fuel and maintenance. The Tesla Semi will have Drive-By-Wire like the CYBERTRUCK BP Australia is installing the TESLA Super Chargers rebadge with BP Charger.
A thought experiment – using a Tesla Semi travelling from SIPform West Australia to Lismore, New South Wales, then onto Brisbane, Queensland, to purchase Weathertex. 800-volt DC Tesla Super Charger for Tesla Semi at an average distance of 700 kilometres between charges:
• SIPform, 4/3 Finance Pl, Malaga WA 6090.
• BP Truckstop, Eyre Hwy, Coolgardie Esperance Hwy, Norseman, WA 6090.
• Shell, Eyre Hwy, Nullarbor, SA 5690
• BP Truckstop, 35 Eyre Hwy, Ceduna SA 5990
• Shell Coles Express, Port Augusta West Roadhouse.
• 34 Eyre Hwy 1 Stokes Terrace, Port Augusta West, SA 5700
• Shell Coles Express Broken Hill, NSW
• 164 William St, Broken Hill NSW 2880
• BP Truckstop, 180 Mitchell Hwy, Nyngan NSW 2825
• Bendemeer Tourist Centre, 19 Havannah St, Bendemeer NSW 2355
• Bunnings Armidale, Corner Barney and Canambe St, Armidale NSW 2350
Lismore NSW 2480 will deliver site SIPform from Perth, WA, to the site at Lismore NSW.
We will buy two Tesla Semi to travel SIPform WA to Lismore 2480 once a week there and back. There is other material we can back from Queensland to WA Queensland.
13th to 14th April 2024 – We are having a field day – Bi-directional Charging – Battery Electric Vehicles & Renewable Energy, Lismore Workers Sports Club – Goonellabah 2480.
The fuel savings is a plus. However, we don’t even have a fraction of the power grid necessary to charge the North American transport fleet.
Jay driving in braille? jeez it was making the trip seem bumpy but it was him on the lines lol
Lol so the truck and trailer weighs 60-70k that's wild!! 😐
Electric is stupid. Hydrogen fuel is the answer.
Jay can't even maintain a lane and even had police escorts at the uturn.
Do you have a CDL Jay??? 😮😂😂😂
Dont forget to take that left at Albuquerque 😉 A Winnebago 🤣 of course! Why not?
I know that Leno is a decent driver, so why can't he keep it in a lane?
I want an RV hauler version, as well as a 'Winnebago' Class C RV from this platform!
Edisom motors is better
i don't think they ever answered Jay's first question, How much does it weigh?
Much appreciated gents!
not good staying in the lanes
Tesla trucks I've seen one in person and I watch the thing it's a piece of junk in my opinion I like the concept but they need to work on it it looks like a child's toy and it pulls like a
Please help commercial Tesla drivers who depend on Uber and Lifts to get customers. They are being paid 1/3 or 1/4 of what the customer paid. While drivers pay for the car, maintain the car, and drive the car for each transaction.
Tesla already has a software platform for cars, please add taxis to it and make life better for everyone.
Impractical.
Well I see the trailer had hydraulic hook ups . Just wondering how they would do the hook ups on the truck.. dump trailers , RGN, landoll flat deck , 🤔
Ya but the sound and the 18 speed what's a no go for me .
dumb way worse on the environment you want elctrick you get global warning
Kudos to the sound engineer making this so clear at the dang airport! Jay can't stay in one lane to save his soul😂😂😂
Daaaam!!! These are some good videos.
Wow, Jay is now an old man
Imagine making the wheel base longer, adding a full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room, a few TVs, refrigerator, and some extra battery packs. You now have a Tesla RV!
What double yellow line?
I'm wondering how the battery is going to do long term? Overtime the changing ability goes down over time so that means more time changing. Also, replacing high mileage batteries are expensive. You can say good-bye to any savings on fuel. Plus the weight of the electric truck vs. the gas truck is a problem. I'm worried if an electric truck hits me it will be worse because of the heavier battery.😢
I'm curious, what solar panel efficiency would be required to make the cost/benefit worth adding to the semi roof?
Ive seen this semi tesla truck on the freeway like Pepsi up here in Sacramento. Couple times ive seen it on the side of the freeway just getting towed, but next time ill ask the driver how he feels like about driving this Tesla Semi. I dont know about this semi being driven across the states, cause truck drivers is about delivery time. I don't think they got time and patience to charge this up. Id say local is okay. But a long trip. I dont know. If companies dont care bout time, then so be it. But you know time is moneyyyyy
Jay you have become a heretic as I always thought that you were such a petrol head. Mate that truck is in my mind unrealistic and the cost of them and he damage to the roads by the weight of these things combined with the fire risk is just not in the realms of reality. Have a loo at the recent electric truck fire in Melbourne Australia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl6uZLsQW8Y
I know the trailer probably weighs 15 thousand pounds. Why would the load be that much 60,000 pounds that means the truck would weigh 45,000 pounds you couldn’t haul any payload California Max is 80,000 pounds, so what are you going to haul?
We need gas and electric, we need both!! Not just one!!!! Freedom to own what you want for all humans!!!!! 🇺🇲🦅.
Even long term if it cost less for trucking companies they wont lower cost of shipping they will just keep xtra profits.
I love it❤
Yeah stay on the pavement just straighten it out. In the dirt we go ha ha, typical elderly driver swerving all over the road not listening. Trailer not straight to the slightest. Made the city boy sweat, gray shirt not a good idea. Funny how tight pants had on F'ing rubber gloves to put up the landing gear. Don't want to hurt those clean smooth hands. More brown outs for California.
