Yay comes the Tesla “Semi Truck” !! (maybe)
The Tesla Semi-truck, the first production heavy vehicle, has been promised since 2015 and was to be delivered in 2019, a date not met. It seemed that everything was consigned to oblivion, but according to the optimists of the Electrek blog, all the waiting has finally "almost" come to an end.
"The whole trucking industry is watching," the blog gushed early Tuesday morning, stating that after "years of delays, Tesla is finally about to begin production of Tesla Semi." We are setting the "start of production" date which, alas, will be at least in a year.
"While there are already a few electric trucks on the road, none of them have the specs that allow long haul transportation in a Class 8 semi-trailer, as the Tesla Semi promises," wrote Electrek editor Fred Lambert, apparently. not yet convinced that Elon Musk's "promises" are notoriously unreliable.
Without setting a production date, Lambert goes on to say that the truck "will have the lowest cost of ownership of any other trailer, which makes it extremely disruptive in an industry where every penny counts." It also prompted Tesla's claims of a Class 8 truck with a capacity of 4o tons (a standard container), which will have range options of 450km and 750 miles for $ 150,000 and $ 180,000.
Why this medium, apparently so innovative and with a huge potential market (especially after the Tir produced by Nikola turned out to be a bluf)
“Tesla couldn't deliver the truck in 2019. So it was delayed in 2020, which became 2021, but now things are really starting to move,” the blog reassured its readers. As for determining an exact date, Electrek reports that "some long-time bookers are also expected to receive delivery this year."
Bets could be placed on the actual delivery date, whether it will be 2020 or later.
“This is exciting,” concludes Lambert. "Now, if it can finally deliver those electric trucks to those customers with the promised capabilities and prices, it will likely initiate a huge shift in the trucking industry."
Everyone is now expecting to see this extraordinary explosion of a potentially enormously developing sector, but for which the entire special charging network must be developed. You can't think of recharging a truck with car fastchargers !! All this, for now, is not there.
