Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster 2

The presentation of two new products from Tesla has just taken place. Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster 2.



Earlier, Ilon Musk tweeted:

“Blow your mind clear out of your skull and into an alternate dimension”
“It will be taking the brain to another dimension” :)

Tesla, traditionally, was late - “Ceremonies” was delayed for almost an hour, during which guests listened to the same melody.



But after the brief introduction of Mask, two almost identical towers immediately rolled out onto the stage:







Key features and features:

• Acceleration to 96 km / h empty in 5 seconds
• Maximum load 36 tons
• Acceleration to 96 km / h with a maximum load of 20 seconds (against several minutes at the diesel tractor)
• Lifting to 5% mountain with maximum load at a speed of 104 km / h (against 72 km / h at the diesel tractor)
• The mileage between charges when fully loaded at a speed of 100 km / h - 800 km
• The drag coefficient is 0.36, which is less than that of the Bugatti Chiron (0.38) and 2 times less than that of a typical diesel tractor (0.65-0.70).
• 4 motors - on the motor for each rear wheel. Moreover, if 2 engines fail, the car will still be able to drive with the same dynamics as the diesel tractor
• Heavy-duty glass. According to statistics, a regular truck on the windshield once a year, there is a crack, while transporting goods on such a machine in the United States is no longer possible - you need to replace the glass. Tesla won't have such a problem.
• There is no transmission box, there is no gearbox.
• Used regeneration 4 motors for braking. Therefore, there are no problems with overheating of the brake pads. Generally probably brake pads will never need to be changed.
• Driver's seat in the middle
• Increased safety due to a low center of gravity (less prone to tipping over), autopilot with automatic braking, lane maintenance, smooth safe stopping and calling rescue services if the driver has become ill
• High cabin where you can stand
• 1,600,000 km warranty (probably only on a propulsion system)
• As a result, the operation is more profitable (cheaper) than the diesel tractor by 20% (taking into account the cost of fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc.). If you go by road train, it is already profitable by 2 times
• Megacharger plans to build a network of charging stations from Tesla. At the same time to charge 640 km will need only 30 minutes
• Shipping cost is $ 1.26 per mile ($ 1.51 per mile from a diesel tractor)
• Pre-order price of $ 5,000
• Start of production in 2019

Tesla Roadster 2

Basic configuration

• The fastest production car
• A quarter mile in 8.9 seconds
• Mileage between charges of 1000 km
• 95 km / h in 1.9 seconds
• 160 km / h in 4.2 seconds
• Max. speed over 400 km / h
• Battery 200 kWh
• 4 seats
• Start of production in 2020.

Tesla Roadster 2 is not just a render. She was on the stage and guests could sit in it:



If everything goes according to the plans of Ilona Mask, then another revolution awaits us - this time in the field of cargo transportation.
