Telsa is on the verge of taking over the electric semi-industry.
Telsa C.E.O. Elon Musk, the tech firm’s CEO, delivered two of the company’s fully electric Semi Trucks. Pepsi is one of their biggest clients. It took almost four years to deliver the trucks.
The Tesla Semi is an industry-changing vehicle that can go 500miles on a single charging and has the fastest megawatt charge in the business. The SemiSemi is fully charged in 30 minutes and can be back on the road. The truck has three electric motors. One is shorter than originally designed. It can pull 82,000 pounds. Tesla claims that the SemiSemi has a warranty of 1 million miles, and it will not jack-knife. This is a problem common to semis.
Tesla claims that the features of the Semi are the best in the industry and have become the new standard. According to Tesla’s site;
Badass Performance
Three independent motors deliver instant torque at any speed, allowing drivers to merge safely with traffic and maintain pace. Fully loaded, accelerate from 0-100 km/h within 25 seconds and maintain highway speeds up steep slopes.
Maximum Safety
Semi is equipped with standard active safety features, which work in conjunction with advanced motor and braking controls to provide traction and stability under all conditions. The central seat position allows the driver to see better, and an all-electric design reduces the risk of a rollover accident.
Massive Range
Semi’s energy consumption is less than 1.25kWh per kilometer, allowing it to cover up to 800km on a single battery charge. Tesla Semi Chargers can restore up to 70% of the range in just 30 minutes.
Low cost of ownership
Semi’s energy consumption is less than 1,25 kWh/kilometer, allowing it to travel up 800 km on a single battery charge. Tesla Semi Chargers can restore up to 70% of the range in just 30 minutes.
Tesla Semi truck requests have exceeded expectations and are increasing daily. After calculating the savings they can make from reduced fuel costs and maintenance, major companies such as Walmart, Pepsi Anheuser-Busch Sysco UPS DHL, Walmart, Pepsi Anheuser-Busch are investing millions to upgrade their fleet.
Tesla’s market share in the electric vehicle industry will continue to grow as society gets closer and closer to reducing its carbon footprint. Demand will eventually drive down prices, making electric vehicles more affordable for society.
