The damned thing weighs about 30,000 lbs. that's twice the weight of a diesel day cab. And just one single charger requires a 1,000KVA pad mount transformer, the cost of that will be in the 7 figure range
That assumes multiple things. 1st the battery is the same energy density as a model S, which isn't true. The bigger the battery the better the energy density because most parts used for the battery stay the same weight... basically only the cells are bigger. 2. It assumes that there's an engine in the Truck... which makes no sense. Realistically it is around a 2k pound deficit probably less (Btw this includes the extra 2k pounds allowed for full ev trucks). Tesla claimed the same as a petrol truck with the added 2k pounds so probably less or maybe they choose a heavy truck to compare idk.
As for charging that is on Tesla and the cost of that will be much lower then you think. Tesla's got experience with making chargers... since they have the biggest charging network lol.
@@OnlyFendtsT That is pretty vague, Which Acros? What specifications, what engine? What axle ratings? GVW? GCW? Not to mention the Acros is heavy spec construction platform. Like concrete Mixers, heavy dumps etc. The Tesla is a light duty dry freight truck for hauling potato chips and boxes of tampons
How about use trailer’s underdeck space for battery? It can extand range. It also helpful for cold chain trailers. Underdeck battery swap system can be evolution for longhaul trucking industry.
The trucking companies I worked for were paid by the ton so the heavier the truck the less you get paid So you have to fork out nearly twice as much to buy it and the charging equipment carry about a third less revenue generating cargo which means you have to have more trucks than necessary to carry the same volume of freight it just doesn’t make economical or environmental sense
Although what I’m about to say might not very important in the trucking world, I’m really curious what the 0-60 acceleration is when the truck is unloaded?
0:58 Well you are wrong mister. There are TWO giant blindspots on this semi because the seat is in the center. When backing the trailer into a loading bay, unlike traditional trucks, that have one blind side, the passenger side, Tesla Semi got two. Both driver and passenger. If you carry the same trailer all the time, then there is no problem because a rear camera on the trailer will fix it. But most truckers don't hitch onto only one trailer.....as much as I applaud the Tesla Semi, I got to say this. Regarding seating position, Tesla is trying to solve av problem that is not really a problem for truck drivers. Traditional seating position is still a winner in every hauler truck in my book.
Theres a reason why regular trucks have so many levers and buttons. So we don’t have to hunt through menus to find what we need.
wrong
@@artvandelay6457 lol ok bud, What truck do you drive? I drive for southeastern freight and I drive 2024 volvo vnl
If a company has a product which revolutions the market, it doesnt need hunders of bots in the comme nts

@@lachlanB323 The charger is nothing, It's all the infrastructure the charger requires

The Tesla Semi weights 6500 lbs more than a Arocs.

Two batteries? Trucking is weight limited. You leaving no room for freight. What’s the point of a permanently empty truck?

How much is it to replace battery and how long does it last?
😂😂😂

With 1000 HP it is totally in the 5 second range. Faster then a base model 3 which is already a very quick car compared to the average car.
Fun fact it's based on using the same motors as the model 3.
What’s the payload? If you need two teslas to transport what one Diesel carries they are useless.
U never use trailer brake anyway. But why nobody talks about charging infrastructure
