The Tesla Semi Will Be Tesla’s Most Disruptive Vehicle Yet.
The Tesla Semi is a fully-electric semi-truck that was first announced by Tesla in November 2017. According to Tesla, the Semi will have a range of up to 500 miles on a single charge and will be able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 20 seconds when fully loaded. It is expected to be much more energy efficient and cost-effective than traditional diesel semi-trucks. Additionally, the Semi will feature advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane departure warnings. Due to these features, it can be considered as one of the most disruptive vehicle by Tesla.
Elon Musk and Tesla Quotes
- “It is a mistake to hire huge numbers of people to get a complicated job done. Numbers will never compensate for talent in getting the right answer (two people who don’t know something are no better than one), will tend to slow down progress, and will make the task incredibly expensive.” ~Elon Musk.
- “I’ve actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don’t mean hybrid, I mean fully electric.” ~Elon Musk
- “When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.” ~Elon Musk
- “I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.” ~Elon Musk
- “If you’re co-founder or CEO, you have to do all kinds of tasks you might not want to do… If you don’t do your chores, the company won’t succeed… No task is too menial.” ~Elon Musk,
- “I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.” ~Elon Musk
“We believe the Tesla semi will deliver substantial reduction in cost of cargo, while increasing safety…” ~Elon Musk
