This is probably going to be unpopular on here but today we've had the official first #Tesla Semi handed over to customers.

Not the first or only EV trucks but the only class 8 that will do 500 miles, and they have the hardware, charging infrastructure etc to back it up

Regardless of your views on Elon the world needs to stop burning diesel. Cant wait for trucks like this to replace the smog inducing toxic monsters we have already

@Rjdlandscapes so how much does the truck weighs and what's the payload and what's the price for it?

This Tesla chart is nothing but bogus without these numbers considering that you can't calculate the profitability of it in the long-hauling business.

Don't let them fool you and sorry for being so straight forward about this. There's a reason why you don't see other long-haul Cat 8 e-trucks and that's not because Tesla has any secret sauce.

Peace!

@pallenberg estimated at about 26-27k lbs, it's fine.

@Rjdlandscapes

- who estimated this?
- with out without trailer?
- what's the weight of the battery?

And why can't I find these relevant specs incl. the price on the Tesla homepage?

I have a feeling that I know at least the answer to the last question, especially when you look back at their claims from 2017 that it would beat real.

Just another Tesla stockpump show and imho a massive fraud. Don't fall for it!

@pallenberg dude do you not have Google?

It doesn't matter what the weight of the battery is just how heavy the whole tractor unit is
