I believe everyone still remembers the Semi super truck launched by Tesla in 2017, but after so long, no relevant news seems to be exposed again, as if it is a rock sinking into the sea.
But just recently, Wanchedi learned that the external website exposed photos of the Semi real car test, and the official announcement that it will be delivered by the end of this year.
has a tragic fate
Since 2019, Tesla Semi's mass production plan has been postponed. Musk told employees in an email in early 2020 that “it’s time to do its best to put Semi into mass production.” However, in April of the same year, Tesla announced on its earnings call that it would once again postpone delivery until 2021.
is really in 2021 and is restricted by battery raw materials and is postponed again. It can be said that the fate of this Semi is as illusory as Cybertruck. It can only meet the world after going through a lot of hardships.
Recently, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 2023 Tesla Semi has officially obtained a certificate of qualification and will be added to the list of heavy-duty vehicles that meet the requirements in January 2023, which also shows that it has qualified for mass production.
itself has very good strength
. Judging from the actual car video released by the external network, this Semi is very fast. The playchedi learned that when the car is loaded with 36 tons of cargo, its acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 20 seconds, which is about half of the acceleration time of the traditional truck; under no load, its acceleration time of 100 kilometers is even more amazing, reaching about 5 seconds.
More importantly, as a truck, Tesla Semi performs equally well in terms of loading capacity and range. According to Tesla, the total combined loading of Semi body and trailer is 82,000 pounds (37.19 tons). In the top-end version, the full load range is also 500 miles (800 kilometers). Very good strength.
The first customer is Pepsi
From the price point of view, Semi's price is between US$150,000 and US$180,000 (970,000-1.17 million yuan).
Pepsi ordered 100 Semis from Tesla in December 2017, so the first batch of customers delivered by the end of the year were also Pepsi , which Musk proved on Twitter.
I just don’t know if I can see this car on China’s highways in the future. In that case, it should be able to relieve traffic jams well. After all, the acceleration capability is much better than that of burning diesel.
