The Tesla Semi delivery event was held in Nevada this week to celebrate the delivery of the first trucks to PepsiCo.
Tesla held its long awaited ceremony to introduce its electric Class 8 tractor, known simply as the, on December 1. If you weren’t able to watch the livestream of the event, there is a video of it below. In it, you will see Elon Musk drive a white Semi on stage followed by two others decked out in Pepsi and Frito-Lay livery.
Musk said the Semi uses three electric motors that are based on the ones in the Plaid-spec Model S and Model X. One will be used for steady-speed driving on the highway to obtain maximum efficiency, while the other two motors engage when maximum torque is required to accelerate or maintain speed while driving uphill. Elon said that just one of those three motors alone is “more powerful than the diesel engine on a semi truck.
Musk enthused about how regenerative braking can keep the truck’s speed in check while going downhill and help avoid the risk of a runaway 80,000 lb truck hurtling down a steep grade if the brakes fail. Musk called is “a significant safety improvement for the truck driver and the other people on the road.”
Then there’s this little tidbit. Tesla said its other vehicles would use the powertrain in the Semi. Wait,Which other vehicles? The Cybertruck seems like the most likely candidate, but there’s no official word on that. The Roadster 2.0 maybe? A van or shuttle aimed at robotaxi service ? We don’t know, and based on past experience, it will be three to five years before we find out.
