The Tesla semi is easy to overlook because of the fact that it doesn't target US consumers, but the vehicle is still a very important part if not the most important part of Tesla's business. Elon Musk has prioritized the Tesla semi over the roadster for two main reasons. The potential is a lot larger and there's a new guy on Wall Street talking down on the Elon, there's a lot of good about what you know. What Tess has done in the past to teach people that that electric vehicles can work.

But Nikola is the pioneer and heavy-duty trucking and Tesla's just really just following in our footsteps and a lot of them. You know a lot of them are really believed that Elon is like this, this great person that can do anything and it's when they see someone else being able to actually beat him at what he's doing. Maybe they hate that it's, so we only focus on markets that actually create revenue in any economy, and so it is a huge picture. There's no doubt there's very few people that can out Elon in this world and I'm one of them in this video.

I'm gon na explain why I believe the Tesla semi will be Tesla's most disruptive vehicle if you're new to the channel. Please consider subscribing for more content like this. With that being said, let's get right into it. When it comes to consumer vehicles, the efficiency is often overlooked because, most of us prioritize comfort, looks and performance.

However, with commercial vehicles, efficiency is the most important aspect of our vehicles. Companies do not care about whether or not a vehicle is comfortable, quiet or flashy. Businesses want to look for the vehicle that can maximize profitability. Tesla's new semi is by far the most cost efficient semi truck with the cost per mile at one dollar and 26 cents.

Its aerodynamics also allow for an efficient semi truck convoy, lowering the cost per mile to 85 cents gas-powered semi trucks are already being ruled out of the competition when compared to the electric semi trucks on the road right now with the Tesla semi fuel savings will be So humongous that it even beats the initial price of the semi Tesla's battery LEED will allow the company to easily out-compete other electric semi trucks on efficiency, acceleration and rain. Although Tesla's autonomy is not at the level where it can operate without a human driver, yet it may allow truck drivers to work longer hours or attracts truck drivers to companies that use Tesla semi. The enhanced autopilot would also improve safety by having automatic emergency braking automatic lane keeping and give warnings for forward collisions. It's no secret that driving is dangerous.

Truck drivers have to be on the road for a very long time, which increases the risk of a collision by a substantial amount with the enhanced autopilot. This means that if the truck driver has a heart attack is fatigued or simply isn't focusing, then the Tesla semi would still keep the semi in the lane. It is in an emergency brake if a collision is about to occur in the truck, and you have a medical emergency. The truck will stay in lane and gradually come to a halt and put on the Emergencies.

If it doesn't hear response for, you will actually call emergency services and get an ambulance, it's gon na take care of you. It's gon na take care of other cars can take care of pedestrians. This is a massive increase in safety. Currently truck drivers are limited to 70 hours per week, but if the driver was to just monitor the Tesla semi on autopilot, this would require less focus on the road and may lead to an increase in the maximum hours that a truck driver can be on the Road for if the maximum hours are not increased, then truck drivers would still want to drive for companies that use the Tesla semi, because it would be a lot less stressful to operate a semi on autopilot.

There currently is a shortage of truck drivers in the US, and that shortage is expected to double within the next decade. If companies do not use the Tesla semi blast truck drivers would work for them. Therefore, indirectly, forcing companies to purchase a Tesla, semi and once Tesla is able to achieve a level of full self-driving. The Tesla semi would easily be the most cost efficient semi out of them all.

Given the fact that companies don't have to hire truck drivers. This is an important edge that Tesla has over the other competitors, as companies like Nikola, Daimler and DUID do not have the same fleet that Tesla has with four electric motors the Tesla semi accelerates far faster than the current semi-trucks. This aspect is often overlooked because normal vehicles, like SUVs, already accelerate at a pace where it becomes more of a luxury. However, this is totally different with semi trucks.

Semi trucks have to constantly go uphill downhill, slow down from traffic and speed up. If going from zero to 60 takes 20 seconds instead of 30, this saves a lot of time, therefore leading to more profits for the company. Now at 80,000, pounds max gross vehicle weight, but that's the most amount of weight you can carry on a u.s. highway.

This is the real-time acceleration of a Tesla semi that on the left, the thing that looks like it's not moving is a diesel truck. The semi truck with the longest range right now is 250 miles, which is the Freightliner Cascadia Tesla's $ 180,000 version of the semi. Has a range of 500 miles, meaning that the semi may be able to ship from one destination to another without recharging. This saves plenty of time which is very valuable if you're the owner of a company when it comes to charging times, it may seem like a disadvantage for the Tesla semi compared to diesel trucks.

However, it's actually a major advantage. Typically, Tesla has a search for an available spot to place their superchargers. However, with Tesla's new mega charger for the semi, this won't be an issue. The magnet charger can be placed at the destinations.

A semi must go to as it can accommodate for the company using them. This allows you to charge a semi while unloading the vehicle saving plenty of time. The average semi truck takes around 25 minutes to unload the Tesla. Semi takes 30 minutes to charge with a mega charger, which means that truck drivers only have to wait in average of 5 minutes for the semi to charge.

To top it off, the Tesla semi likely won't need to be charged from 0 to 80 %. So if you're charging from 30 % to 80 %, this would mean that the charging time would be less than 25 minutes with the charging time of less than 25 minutes. This means that you don't even have to wait for the Tesla semi to charge. This is a lot faster than searching for the nearest gas station and driving there after you're done unloading, the semi and, as we all know, time is valuable from the perspective of a CEO.

If you drive for, if you drive for five or six hours, which is a that's about as much as you want to be driving continuously, you have to stop for bathroom break good, get a bite to eat, in fact, you're legally required to stop for thirty minutes. So but you, if four hundred miles, is like six plus a six to seven hours of driving, which means that what this means in practice is that by the time you are you're done with your break, but the truck is ready to go. You will not be waiting for your truck to charge. It's a big deal.

Tesla's new Sami has rumored to be using Tesla's new battery, which would mean that the semi would be able to last one million miles from a business perspective. This is important because it allows you to get the most profits out of the vehicle while having a full growth rate of 80,000 pounds in a 5 % uphill grade. The Tesla semi will top out at a speed of 60 miles per hour. This is a lot faster than the typical diesel semi, which would top out at a speed of 45 miles per hour, with the same load.

Having a faster top speed is just another important factor that will save time for those that purchase a semi. Now, how do we achieve this? One of the ways we do this? Is we design the Tesla truck to be like a bullet, so whereas a normal diesel truck is designed more like a barn wall? This is a bullet. You can see this in the drag coefficient. So the Tesla semi has 0.36 drag over to the way.

This is a really good number, as by way of comparison of a bugatti chiron, which is a 2 million-dollar. Supercar has a point. Three eight drag coefficient. This.

It's got a better drag coefficient than a supercar, probably that is with the bull shaped nose. We also have side flaps that map to the whatever trail you're, pulling where it's a new trailer or old trailer, but the side flaps will map to whatever trail you're pulling and close the gap. While it may seem as if there's a lot of competition in the electric semi space, Tesla semi, easily outcompetes, the other semi trucks hitting the market, for example, the nicola one cost three hundred fifty thousand dollars for a truck, which is almost double the price of the Tesla semi saving on the price of semi trucks is extremely important for companies looking to purchase a semi, while the Tesla semi may not be able to out-compete with a nicola one on certain specs. You can certainly out compete on price when compared to the other semi trucks from Daimler, PACCAR, Volvo and BYD Tesla's battery lead has proven to be a major advantage when it comes to efficiency, price acceleration and range along with this Tesla semi is able to provide one Major aspect that other automakers are not able to autopilot: the competition is truly underwhelming within the semi truck space and Tesla semi will be Tesla's most destructive vehicle.
