Tesla Semi & Roadster Unveil

She is the truck program leader here at Tesla. It is a great pleasure to welcome you here in Los Angeles. You have all played a very important role in making this event possible and ensuring Tesla's success. Here they have given us many references for their sales. Thank you so much. Many of you there have helped us in the walking program. You've given us lots of feedback and advice for beginners and made a lot of reservations for the track, so thank you very much. for your support and finally I want to thank all of our employees here in Los Angeles in the bay area and at the gigafactory for all the hard work for something, we make a lot of sacrifices but I think you'll agree with me that it's worth it.

When you see those beautiful products, I personally am very passionate about trucks. I have been fortunate to work in that industry for a long time and I am proud to say that we have the best trucks ever. Are you ready to see them bring? them we're going to give them we're going to get the trucks a moment get the trucks a moment okay, okay, welcome, welcome, welcome to the event, welcome to the

tesla

semi

truck event, I hope you like what you see, I'm I'm going to tell you everything what this truck can do. It surprises me, I think it will surprise you, starting with performance, so we came up with an acronym that I think really describes performance well, so it's a technical term. but we're going to show you what that means in acceleration, so one thing that matters to us about Tesla is that we're looking at the performance that we want, we want a vehicle that feels amazing and accelerates like no other. uh let's show what the truck is like, what it's like to be. in a

tesla

truck this is real time, okay, but the tesla, the

semi

tesla will go from zero to 60 in five seconds, so whether it's alone or with the trailer now with a maximum gross weight of eighty thousand pounds, that This is the greatest amount of weight that you can carry on an American highway.

This is the real-time acceleration of a Tesla semi-trailer. On the left, what doesn't seem to move is a diesel truck. Give it a moment. I'm sorry to bore you. I apologize. It's boring, I know especially It will get there fine even with 80,000 pounds of gross max traction hitting 60 miles per hour in 20 seconds, that's what it can do now, what about going up a hill? Well, the best diesel trucks can only go 45 miles per hour in five percent grade Tesla semi truck can reach 65 miles per hour, grade 5, that is, 65 miles per hour continuous at maximum gross. What this means is that if you're pulling a load over the rocky mountains or over some mountainous terrain going up a hill, if you're earning per mile, you're earning 50 percent more per mile than with a diesel truck, that's a huge difference, so now one of the biggest questions we've been asked about electric trucks is how far can they go, because well, figure it out with a 500 mile range, but what does a 500 mile range mean?

And by the way, it's 500 miles at maximum weight at highway speed, considering like 60 miles per hour, that's the worst case scenario, but what it means is that because the vast majority of routes because the vast majority are Less than 250 miles, it means you can go to your destination and come back, even if your destination has no charge, you can go and come back, go there at home without recharging, so you can make deliveries. a charge to the middle of nowhere and back now, how do we achieve this? One of the ways we do it is we designed the Tesla truck to be like a bullet, so while a normal diesel truck is designed more like a barn wall, this is a bullet, you can see this in the resistance coefficient, so the semi tesla has a resistance of 0.36 professional.

This is a really good number, since for comparison, a bugatti chiron, which is a 2 million supercar, has a driving coefficient of 0.38 and has better resistance. coefficient than a supercar and by the way, yes, by the way, you can see that in the design, we probably achieve it with the bullet-shaped nose, we also have side fins that map to the road you are traveling, whether On a trailer New, on an old trailer the side flaps will conform to whatever road you are towing and close the gap, so this makes a big difference in the drag coefficient. The bottom of the truck is also completely flat so air can flow directly through it.

These are things that are not seen in any other truck and give us incredible range on the highway. One of the key factors is that we also have four independent motors, so there is a motor in each of the rear wheels and an independent front end. suspension, so it's incredibly comfortable to drive this truck, yeah, wow, and then just out of interest we created a truck version of the semi tesla, it's a truck that can carry a truck, by the way, this is you, you can drive it legally. It shouldn't be legal, but you'll actually be able to drive it legally with a regular driver's license.

It's a little bad, but I like it. Now what about the driver experience? What does it feel like to drive this truck? That's amazing, because this truck has no gears, there's no uh, you're not constantly changing gears, it has one, one gear, so it's smooth, it's like driving, it's like driving a Tesla, so even though you're driving a model s, a model We put the driver in the center so that the drivers are really in the center. In the center of the truck, you're positioned like you're in a racing car, you have full visibility of the road and all the surroundings, so it's a beautiful, spacious interior, you can stand inside, it has redundant screens, uh , and it is like that, it just feels amazing.

Driving this is one of the best feelings, it is incomparably better than any other truck on the road. You really have to drive it to understand how good it feels, I can drive this thing and I have no idea how to drive. a semi okay, let's take a look, let's take some more photos of the interior, this gives you an idea by the way we also have a little trunk in the front, okay, let's throw that in there compared to uh I don't want to hurt your eyes, but this is what a diesel truck looks like today.

It's a bunch of third party devices. It is very difficult to use. Requires integration installation. These things do not communicate with each other. It's a nuisance. in the neck, uh, it has significant additional costs, whereas the Tesla semi, this is all included, it's included in every truck, everything works the moment you get the truck, it has everything and apparently it will integrate with everyone. Fleet systems are the things that are really important to the trucking industry, so what about fuel today? If you feel like a diesel truck has smoke leaks, a toxic environment, prices change all the time and what many people don't do.

You don't realize that it actually takes up to 15 minutes or more to fill a truck; you have to sit there for 15 minutes while the tank fills, compared to charging a Tesla truck, you can charge at your origin or destination, so while unloading your cargo, you can charge, so the reason 400 miles is important is because eventually you have to take a break, so if you drive for five or six hours, which is about As much as you want to drive continuously because you have to stop to go to the bathroom, go eat something, in fact, you are legally required to stop for 30 minutes, but, but, if 400 miles is like six plus six for seven hours of driving, which means that what this means in practice is that when you finish your break, the truck will be ready to go, you won't have than waiting for it to charge, this is a big problem and because of the mega tesla chargers that we will install on the wall, just like we have superchargers installed all over the world, have you seen the supercharger map, it started with just a few, with just a few charges in California, now we have superchargers all over the world. and you can go anywhere with a Tesla consumer vehicle.

The same will happen with the semi tesla. You will be able to travel anywhere in the world on the Tesla megacharger network and that means we can guarantee electricity. rates because these will be solar powered mega loads, um, that load to the Tesla power pack is guaranteed low electricity 24/7 and because these mega loads work in such a way that your truck runs on sunlight okay what about security now when I say security am I talking? As for driver safety, I'm also talking about other cars on the road. I'm talking about pedestrian safety for everyone. If you have 80,000 pounds moving at 60 miles per hour, that's a very dangerous thing that all the trucks we sell will have.

Enhanced autopilot as standard, okay the truck will break down automatically, what do I do? Yes, you can also read it or it will break automatically, but actually it will also automatically stay in the lane, so even if even if you are in the truck and you have a medical emergency, the truck will stay in the lane and gradually stop and activate In emergencies, if it doesn't hear a response from you, it will call emergency services and get an ambulance to take care of you. it's going to take care of other cars it can take care of pedestrians this is a massive increase in safety some other things about safety achieved with that center position you're in a very safe position uh even if you were to hit another semi you have a low center of gravity which gives you really good handling, which means the likelihood of a rollover is greatly reduced because the battery pack is on the floor and the risk of rolling occurs dramatically and perhaps most importantly, bending.

Typically a trucker's worst nightmare, how do you keep your vehicle from jack-knifing? If you encounter difficult conditions, the truck will automatically stop cornering because it has independent motors in each wheel and will dynamically adjust the torque at each wheel. wheel so it's impossible to turn your worst nightmare you left with this truck gone you'll never have to worry about it so miserable reliability at work reliability is incredibly important the truck is it's your life it's your business the truck breaks down you're letting your customers down uh it's a it's a horrible day it could be a horrible week it could break down in the middle of nowhere it's safety issues reliability is incredibly important we're putting a lot of attention into making this truck incredibly reliable and that's why we guarantee that this truck it won't break down for a million miles without guaranteeing that it won't break down for a million miles because it has four independent engines, you can lose two of those four engines and the truck will still run even if it only has two of the four engines active It will still be a diesel truck, it's not really fair, so what it has, you know, there are some other benefits too, brakes, brakes are a big problem for trucks, you have to stop 80,000 pounds, it's not easy, that's a lot .

Breaking that means a lot of wear and tear on the brakes, but because with an electric motor you can turn the brakes into generators, every time you brake, the kinetic energy of the braking returns directly to the battery pack instead of wearing out a brake pad, so what brake pads basically last forever you never need to replace brake pads so yeah no brakes no brake pad changes you always have to worry about the transmission uh no transmission no transmission can be broken, no emissions, no scrubbers, no differentials, um and and this is the feature that I like closer to the thermonuclear explosion proof class, I mean, it's close, so standard glass doesn't, why is this important? a nuclear explosion or you get a full refund okay full refund the reason this is important is because truck windshields are huge and they crack about once a year and if the truck windshield is cracked it doesn't you can drive so it's actually an off road truck if you have a broken windshield and that means lost income, disappointed customers, it's a terrible day, it's terrible, and if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere it takes you ages to get a windshield new so actually this this detail this detail is very important for someone who really understands trucking.

It is small but very important. So in terms of connectivity with the truck, we understand what's going on. We have the Tesla app that gives you complete information about your truck. This is a normal thing, it's like we take it for granted, if you have a model S or a modelyou have on your truck. remote diagnostics, you can see what's happening in the preventive maintenance, the truck will actually anticipate when it needs to be done, when it needs maintenance and it will tell you in advance and connect with the fleet, so if you have to do it. try managing a fleet of thousands of trucks, it is also incredibly important that all this data comes in, you know exactly what is going on, it will really help you manage your transport.

Now that you've said all this, you're probably wondering how much this will cost. cost because Tesla stuff is expensive, but we realized that transporting the truck by truckThe economics of trucking matter enormously if you have a truck, if the cost per mile is too high, it doesn't make economic sense, you can't make it work , so we've really thought about the space and, when you take everything into account, you take into account the lowest cost, the insurance costs, the maintenance, all the factors, the real fully accounted cost of transporting a diesel truck will be a 20 percent more expensive than a semi tesla per mile so this is from day one, owning a semi tesla will outperform a diesel truck on day one of economy and this is the worst case scenario so it's better that this, this is the worst case comparison, this is taking the maximum growth of the vehicle, it's going 60 miles per hour and it's assuming a gas price of 250, we're guaranteeing a wholesale price of seven cents per kilowatt.

I am clear that this is real, these are real numbers and there is only something better than this, this is the worst case scenario, now a truck, a Tesla truck considered on its own. Outperforms other diesel trucks, but what if you have a convoy? So what if you have a truck? Two trucks follow you, so you're in control, you're more like a trained train driver, in fact, um, convoy technology, tracking technology, this is something that we're confident we can do today is 10 times safer than a human driver, so I want to make it clear that this is something we can do now and wait for that plane, there you go, if you look at the economics of a truck convoy.

Much better now, a diesel truck is twice as expensive as a Tesla semi or a bus, so what this means is that it's not just economic suicide to use a diesel truck, it's economic suicide for the railroad, this beats the railway, and that's what I think is really quite. deep, we are sure that this is a product that is better in every way from a future point of view, that beats diesel trucks in economics in the worst case and that defeats the railway in a scenario of convoys and the Production starts in 2019. So if you order now and get part of the truck in two years, okay, so that's the Tesla, the semi Tesla.

I hope you enjoyed what you saw. Okay guys, take it, thank you, thank you. Oh it's going to be planned so it turns out there was some cargo in the truck there's some cargo in the truck we thought about taking it out we started tesla we started tesla with a tesla

roadster

sports car so that baby kept us going uh it's it's the base of the whole company was the tesla

roadster

people asked us for a long time when are you going to make a new roadster, we are doing it now and you know there is, I don't know if you see space balls, maybe, but there is only one thing, only there is one thing. that's beyond ridiculous which is checkered so the tesla the new tesla roadster is going to be the fastest production car ever made and this is the base model okay this is the base model come on to talk about things beyond the base. maybe next year sometimes this is the base model, the base model will go from 0 to 60 in 1.9 seconds, okay, that's the fastest, this will be the first time a car has broken two seconds in 0-60, that's how it will be. the fastest to 100 miles per hour 4.2 seconds to 100 miles per hour will be faster than that plane over there okay it will do the quarter mile in 8.9 seconds this will be the first time a car has surpassed the nine seconds in any broken production car nine seconds in a quarter mile these are these are all these are all world records okay, this is what we're achieving in the prototype.

I wouldn't say what the actual top speed is but it's over 250 miles per hour and the range is it's going to have a 200 kilowatt hour battery pack so 606 these numbers sound crazy but they're real 600 620 miles of range , that is, a thousand kilometers of autonomy, this will be the first time that an electric vehicle travels the thousand kilometers that a production electric vehicle will have. It travels over a thousand miles on a single charge at highway speed, but you'll be able to travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco and back at highway speed without recharging, but the point of doing this is simply to give gas cars a serious blow.

A gasoline sports car will feel like a steam engine with a side of quiche. This thing will have three motors, so it will be all-wheel drive, one motor in the front, two in the back and two in the back will do the torque steer, I said, turn, kilometer, kilowatt hour. battery pack 10,000 newton meters of torque if you know what that means it's stupid it's also a four seater yeah so it's a two plus two two plus two okay you can't put giant people in the back seat , but you will put it. Okay, a giant squashed person or a small little person fits in the back, then, but it's a forced heater, it's not like it's a four-seat, it's a convertible, so it's a removable roof, and it has tons of storage, so you will be. able to travel somewhere, bring luggage, bring whatever you want and have plenty of storage space, carry four people like it's a real car, not only is it crammed so it has all that functionality with four seats, yeah, and it's available, hoping it'll be available in 2020. um, so yeah, exactly, would you like to come up?

Would you like to go up? Okay, come on, let's go three.
