Two New Tesla Semi Pilot Programs: Feedback & Efficiency

Elon will never think about you.

Oh word, they haul bags of chips too?

How much tons did they carry? How fast did they go up hill?

Let's hope they won't run this thing on FSD.

So both those companies are also run by Nazis?

2 and a half years later, still no specs and no price. Just a bunch of unverified info from Tesla patting themselves on the back. This publication is so terrible.

Meanwhile in China Electric Semis are nothing special any more and in Europe, Iveco, Scania and Mercedes drive throughout the Continental from Norway to Spain fully electric in commercial use.

Where's the link? The only semi will be Musk on seeing this post.

Yes suspiciously little data about the actual loads they were carrying.

This sub is rabidly anti-tesla so don't anticipate getting too much love on this post lol great to hear the trials went well though. Excited for the Tesla semi!

If you can't trust an author who's a bear named blaffy, who can you trust?

At the Semi launch Musk claimed they had self driving tech that was 10x safer. And that their convoys were faster than rail. "We can do this now, today". To my knowledge it has never been even mentioned by anyone at the company since.

And empty beverage cans!

And Volvo

10x safer than what? Their current self driving tech that is used on Robotaxis and elsewhere? By what metric? That does not sound reassuring at all.

Yes, all the big players have their functioning trucks out here.

Only that the competitors have their trucks in commercial use and up for sale already (Europe&China)

Haven't heard much for Lex lately. Good.

ArcBest selected a route with supercharger at both ends, the company specifically mentions that this is not a normal route. Despite this, they still only managed an average of 321 miles per day, which doesn't seem useful for OTR trucking. [Source.](https://share.google/xRbriTBcO5rIqE8uG)

haHA! It's easy to forget about Tesla's ~~semi~~ fully broken promises after all this time. So a Tesla supplier has a glowing report on the truck? How about 2017 pre-order company list? Here's the list: PepsiCo Sysco JB Hunt Meijer JK Moving Loblaw Fercam Girketa Ryder DHL Fortigo Flexport Best Transportation Mecca & Son Trucking These companies should grow a backbone and sue Tesla into oblivion.

common on, if it is so good, why Tesla is not making tons of them ?

Meanwhile in the real world: >Volvo has sold over 5,000 electric trucks globally, reaching a significant milestone. These electric trucks are operating in approximately 40 countries, with a strong presence in Europe and North America

They still haven't sold any Tesla Semis for years.

10x safer than current trucking safety at the time, whatever that means, supposedly. Always these lovely round numbers. Dude should be in jail

Of course it's not useful, unless you need to ship things from one charger to the next.
