5 biggest takeaways from tesla's semi truck and roadster event - home battery pack

To be sure, Tesla's (TSLA -Get Report)
The semi-truck incident did not reach the hype--
Especially considering the unveiling of the next surprise.
Tesla generation sports car.
Here are some of the main revelations. 1.
Tesla's engineering advantages have been fully demonstrated.
On August, according to Reuters, Tesla will reach 200 semi-trucks. to-300 miles.
It has been speculated that the battery weight will prevent Tesla from launching a truck that can handle a long time.
Distance payload.
So much of everything.
Tesla claims that its truck will be launched in 2019, charging on the highway can travel 500 miles, up to the law
Allowed weight 80,000 pounds (40 tons).
This does not match thousands of people. Plus miles.
The Haul diesel truck can be achieved without refueling, but 217-
Daimler's latest mileage-
Electric truck debut
This means that Tesla can meet a large part of the industry's needs, and it is estimated that 80% of trucking work involves less than 250 miles of travel.
Tesla also said that the truck can be from 0-
Maximum weight of 60 miles/hour in 20 seconds (
Faster than diesel)
, It takes only five seconds when there is no trailer connection.
As expected, the new car is equipped with enhanced self-driving functions such as emergency braking, lane-
Keep and forward collision warning.
At the same time, the new Tesla sports car promises from 0-60 in 1.
Do a quarter in nine seconds-mile in 8.
9 seconds with the help of three motors.
Thanks to the huge battery pack at 200 KW hours, the $200,000 supercar is said to offer 620-
The mile road range, when it started shipping in 2020.
Although Tesla is not the only one that can produce high
With on-the-job people in the automotive industry acquiring electric vehicles, the performance of electric vehicles in terms of quantity, hardware and software engineering remains a core competitive advantage for Elon Musk. 2.
Tesla continues to think outside the box.
Like Model 3, S and X, the interior of the Tesla Semi-trailer is significantly different from the interior of the main competitors.
The cab has ample standing space with the driver's seat in the middle.
Touch screens are on both sides of the seat, and the "armored glass" windshield is announced to be able to withstand a hot nuclear explosion (
Should the truck driver worry about this).
Tesla also designed a supercar.
Like the drag coefficient, its diagnostic function can detect when maintenance is needed long before a problem occurs.
Like Apple. (AAPL -Get Report)
When Tesla sees fit, it is still happy to abandon "conventional wisdom" for hardware and UI design ".

As usual, Tesla has not answered some important questions yet.
While Tesla is pricing its new sports car, it is not pricing the truck.
Musk will only say that the total operating cost of the truck is 100.
Assuming the average speed of 60 miles/hour, the price of $2 diesel and other variables, the mile route will be 20% kilometers less than the diesel truck.
$50 per gallon, 7 cents per kilowatt hour.
Musk did add all the features of the truck
If used in "fleet mode", two driverless trucks follow a lead truck with a driver in it, costing only half of diesel, however, it remains to be seen just as trucking companies and regulators sign similar agreements.
We don't know yet what the exact payload of the truck is.
While Tesla says 40-
Support tons of maximum weight including truck and trailer body, motor and possibly huge battery pack.
Despite Tesla's claim that the upcoming "giant truck" will allow the truck to get 400-
Charge for miles within 30 minutes without detailing when they arrive or how many people are available at the start of the truck delivery.
Also need to detail the charging time when using a less powerful charger. 4.
Tesla provides an interesting sales channel for truck owners, but it is very large.
It takes time to succeed.
At all points during the Tesla event, Musk claimed that Tesla's trucks were faster, safer, more reliable and more efficient (
Due to its maximum speed in challenging situations)
And have a lower length
Than the long-term cost of competitors' diesel.
It's already ahead of three companies ---J. B.
Hunter Transportation Service (JBHT -Get Report)
Wal-Mart Stores Ltd. (WMT -Get Report)
And chain grocery stores-
Place initial order.
But it is worth noting that there are not many first orders: Wal-Mart ordered 15 trucks, Meyer ordered 4 and J. B.
Just to buy more trucks.
Just as corporate IT departments tend to be more cautious than consumers when adopting brands --
With the new technology, the owner of the truck fleet may take the time to bet on Tesla's truck.
Especially when their production ramp, total cost, productivity increase, infrastructure charges and non-
Super Large charging time. 5.
Depending on the volume, the truck launch may have been-
Difficult production ramp is more challenging.
Tesla is less than three weeks from the end of the fourth quarter to the end of the "q1" Model 3 production speed of 5,000 cars per week.
"The company has not reiterated its goal of reaching 10,000 before --
Car production speed by the end of 2018.
All of this indicates that Tesla will take a considerable amount of time to complete the 455,000 Model 3 net booking backlog as of the end of July.
Building a large number of trucks with the same motors and huge battery packs as Model 3 can make things more complicated.
This is especially true because Musk said that the battery module assembly has so far been the "main production constraint" for Model 3 ".
