BAMF PERFORMANCE™

 

[Deleted member 3345]

Good Lord.

 

[enzo_gt]

0-60 in 5 seconds for a semitruck is RIDICULOUS.

 

[Deleted member 1852]

OK Elon, that's really interesting. Do truck drivers care about how fast their trucks accelerate?

Absolutely. Think about the impact on traffic.

 

[How About No]

those look nifty tbh

I would think the acceleration would have to be artificially nerfed until other vehicles can catch up tho??

 

[Deleted member 1852]

Wow uh...500 mile range. That's enough for a lot of long haul routes.
Also the stream just cut out for me. Fuck.

 

[Geist]

These things must have a massive battery.

 

[RedBaron17]

That crowd is hyped! This weirdly feels like an E3 conference lol

 

[turmoil7]

I didn't expect that range, now was is the price?

 

[enzo_gt]

These performance figures are absolutely insane. INSANE.

Also did anyone else's stream die?

 

[Deleted member 1852]

The stream is shitting itself. It's possible we have hugged Tesla to death.

 

[Smiles]

had to switch to Youtube but even that is crashing

 

[gamma]

Someone forgot to charge the server batteries.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Tesla web developers about to get that pink slip.

 

[Deleted member 3345]

Yup, they're both dead for me

 

[How About No]

Someone forgot to charge the server batteries.

Click to shrink...

lmao

 

[gig]

rip driver experience

 

[Cuburger]

Dead just as it was starting to get interesting.

 

[enzo_gt]

Apparently the truck has no gears (obvious) and has a completely flat bottom that helps with aero.

McLaren F1 centre style driving position.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

Fix your stream Elon, wtf?

 

[Smiles]

hope they taped a video for later smh

 

[RedBaron17]

It's back!

 

[enzo_gt]

 

[turmoil7]

Why don't just use motherfucking youtube for streaming elon

 

[Geist]

Stream is back.

 

[phaonaut]

Wow 30 min charge gets you 400miles

 

[Deleted member 1852]

Stream came alive just in time to see
400 miles of range charged in 30 minutes
My stock is going up tomorrow

edit:

MEGACHARGER NETWORK

I'm still waiting for the Gigacharger network Elon!

 

[MBeanie]

I didn't understand the pickup truck nod, was that just a joke because it just looked like a Semi with a pickup truck bed.

 

[Smiles]

they are killing someone's stock tonight

Seemed like an experimental offshoot of the semi, yeah.

 

[enzo_gt]

This might be one of the most impressive vehicle or product reveals I've ever seen.

They're hitting on EVERYTHING.

 

[androvsky]

It's starting to sound like a fanfic of what a Tesla truck could be, this is nuts.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Nuclear explosion windshield or full refund?

 

[Deleted member 1852]

"Jackknifing is impossible"
Do you know how physics works Elon? If you got 80,000 lbs. behind you and it starts going sideways, how exactly do you plan on preventing it?

"You never need to replace the brake pads ever"
I'm going to need to see the receipts on this one, Elon...

"Survives a nuclear explosion or you get a full refund"
Yeah uh ok Elon, can't you just say it's shatter-resistant glass?

 

[MBeanie]

Seemed like an experimental offshoot of the semi, yeah.

Click to shrink...

Ah, well thats an interesting concept, though I would've rathered a more conventional look but the size & function would probably appeal to those in the field as I imagine is the intention.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Ages to get a new windshield?

No it doesn't. I feel like musk is talking to nerds/journalist who don't really understand maintenance.

Unless 24 hours is ages.

Independent motors for each side of the truck

I think he was talking about being in the middle of nowhere.

 

[NihonTiger]

Gonna be cool then they automate these things.

Spoiler

You know they will.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Iron Man back at it again

 

[MBeanie]

The convoy feature is impressing me by far.

 

[Cuburger]

This is all really impressive.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Walks off stage to QOTSA

The Truck sounds fantastic not sure why needed all that extra bullshit like nuclear proof windshield and such.

 

[Deleted member 1852]

A truck convoy cheaper than rail transit? I don't really know how that works but okay?

2019, so after they get Model 3 ramped up and producing at max capacity. They better make sure Model 3 ramps up then.

 

[Geist]

I was kind of blown away by this. Just a matter of time until these are driving themselves too.

 

[Smiles]

so who are the major players to line up and order many of these?

 

[Geist]

He's playing that Tony Stark shtick so fucking hard lmao.
