welcome to the Tesla semi truck event I hope you like what you see better tell you about everything that this this truck can do starting with performance so ever an acronym we came up with that I think really really describes the performance well the Tesla semi will go zero to 60 in five seconds now at 80,000 pounds max gross vehicle weight but that's the most amount of weight you can carry on a US Highway this is the real-time acceleration of a Tesla semi that on the left the thing that looks like it's not moving is a diesel truck the best diesel trucks can only do 45 miles an hour up a five percent grade desert Sam I could do 65 miles an hour up to five percent grade now one of the biggest questions we've been asked about electric trucks is well how far can they go because well let's find out to 500 mile range and by the way it's 500 miles at maximum weight at highway speed we also have four independent motors on citizen visit the motor on each of the rear wheels and independent front suspension so it's incredibly comfortable to drive this truck what about you know fueling today if you're feeling a diesel truck you've got fumes spills toxic environment prices change all the time and what a lot of people don't realize is it actually it takes up to 15 minutes or more to actually fill it a truck get to sit there for 15 minutes well the tank gets full as compared to charging a teaser truck you can charge at your origin or destination so while you're unloading your cargo in charge every truck we sell will have enhanced autopilot as standard okay but the truck will automatically brake alright good yeah you can read it too or it'll automatically break but it will actually automatically Lane keep as well so even if even if image from in the truck and you have a medical emergency the truck will stay in lane and gradually come to a halt and put on the Emergencies if it doesn't hear a response from you I'll actually call emergency services and get an ambulance it's gonna take care of you it's gonna take care of other cars can take care of pedestrians this is a massive increase in safety with that central position you're in a very safe position even if you were to slide with with it another semi you have a low center of gravity that gives you really good handling means the probability of a rollover is massively reduced because the battery pack is in the floor pan and and rollover risk is Durant produced and perhaps most importantly jackknifing is is usually the worst nightmare of a trucker how do you stop your your vehicle from jackknifing and if you're in difficult conditions the truck will automatically from stop Jack and I think because it's got independent motors on each wheel and it will dynamically adjust the torque on each wheel so that jackknifing is impossible reliability is incredibly important we're 20 massive attention it's making this truck be friendly reliable and that's why we are guaranteeing that this truck will not break down for a million miles then what it has you know as a few other benefits as well brakes brakes are a big deal for trucks you got to stop 80,000 pounds it's not easy that's a lot of brake it's for a lot of brake wear but because the with an electric motor you can turn the breaks into generators so every time you break that kinetic energy of braking goes right straight back into the battery pack instead of heat instead of wearing down a brake pad it's the brake pads basically lasts forever but if you'd ever need to replace brake pads ever ever and this is the feature I like best film Oh nuclear explosion proof class so standard glass now why is this important cuz agency it looks nothing survived to nuclear explosion as incredible the reason this is important is because truck windshields are huge and they cracked about once a year and if the truck windshield is cracked you're not allowed to try it so it actually it struck or froze if you have a practicar inch field and that and that means lost driving you just pointed customers it's a terrible it's terrible day and you if you're stuck in building nowhere take ages to get it to get a new windshield so actually this this this detail this detail matters a lot to to someone who really understands trucking we have the tesla app that gives you full information about your truck this is sort of normal it's like we take it for granted with if you've got a Model S or more Lexus like that but this is not normal actually for trucks you have full access to all your truck information you go to remote diagnostics you can you can see what's going on preventative maintenance the truck will actually anticipate when it needs to be made when it needs maintenance and inform you ahead of time you're probably wondering how much is this gonna cost because Tesla stuff is expensive when you take everything into account take the least cost the insurance cost maintenance all of the factors the fully accounted for true cost of trucking a diesel truck will be 20% more expensive than it Benitez's semi per mile on retail this is from day one it from day one having a Tesla semi will be a diesel truck on economics day one and this is at this is a worst-case scenario so it gets better than this this is the this is the wood this is worst-case scenario comparison this is taking max vehicle gross it's going at 60 miles an hour and it's assuming to $50 gasoline price we're guaranteeing a sevenths and kilowatt wholesale price production begins 2019 so if you order now get part the truck in two years so turns out there was some cargo in the truck there's some cargo in the truck we threw it bring it out if he'll have asked us for a long time when you're gonna make a new roadster we are making it now the new Tesla Roadster will be the fastest car production car ever made period it'll do the quarter-mile in eight point nine seconds I wouldn't say what the actual top speed is but it's above 250 miles an hour this is gonna have a two hundred kilowatt hour battery pack 606 this is these numbers sound not even for their real 600 620 mile range that's not a thousand kilometres be the first time an electric vehicle brakes a thousand kilometres a production electric vehicle will travel more than a thousand kilometres in a single charge at highway speed this thing will have three motors so it's all-wheel drive one motor in front turn two on the rear it'll do torque steering I said turn come out we put our battery pack 10,000 Newton meters of torque so you know what that means it's stupid it's also a four-seater so it's a two plus two two plus two okay you can't put giant people in the rear seat but you will to put okay the giant person is squashed or a small small person fit in the bed so but it's a four-seater it's not like it's this is four seats it's convertible so it's a roof or roof it's and it has tons of storage so you like actually travel somewhere bring bring luggage bring whatever you want and have plenty of storage carry for people like it's a real car it's not just crammed in so it has all that functionality with four seats expecting this to be available in 2020 the hell of Mario's touch jump over the barriers jump over thank you for coming
