Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster 2

The presentation of two new products from Tesla has just taken place. Tesla Semi and Tesla Roadster 2.



Previously, Elon Musk on Twitter wrote:

«when blow yet Mind your clear out of your by skull and Into an alternate dimension»
«It will take away the brain to another dimension" :)

Tesla, traditionally, was late - “Ceremonies” was delayed for almost an hour, during which guests listened to the same melody.



But after a short introduction Mask on the stage immediately rolled out two almost identical tractor:







Key characteristics and features:

• Acceleration to 96 km / h empty in 5 seconds
• Maximum load 36 tons
• Acceleration to 96 km / h with a maximum load of 20 seconds (against several minutes at the diesel tractor)
• Lifting at 5% mountain with maximum load at a speed of 104 km / h (against 72 km / h at the diesel tractor)
• The mileage between charges when fully loaded at a speed of 100 km / h - 800 km
• The drag coefficient is 0.36, which is less than that of the Bugatti Chiron (0.38) and 2 times less than that of a typical diesel tractor (0.65-0.70).
• 4 motors - on the motor for each rear wheel. Moreover, if 2 engines fail, the car will still be able to drive with the same dynamics as the diesel tractor
• Heavy-duty glass. According to statistics, a regular truck on the windshield once a year there is a crack, while transporting goods on such a machine in the United States is no longer possible - you need to replace the glass. Tesla won't have such a problem.
• There is no transmission box, there is no gearbox.
• Used regeneration of 4 motors for braking. Therefore, there are no problems with overheating of the brake pads. Generally probably brake pads will never need to be changed.
• Driver's seat in the middle
• Increased safety due to a low center of gravity (less prone to overturning), autopilot with automatic braking, lane maintenance, smooth safe stopping and calling rescue services in case the driver has become ill
• High cabin where you can stand
• 1,600,000 km warranty (probably only on a propulsion system)
• As a result, the operation is more profitable (cheaper) than a diesel tractor by 20% (taking into account the cost of fuel, maintenance, insurance, etc.). If you go by road train, it is already profitable by 2 times
• Megacharger plans to build a network of charging stations from Tesla. At the same time to charge 640 km will need only 30 minutes
• Shipping cost is $ 1.26 per mile ($ 1.51 per mile from a diesel tractor)
• Pre-order price of $ 5,000
• Start of production in 2019

Tesla Roadster 2

Basic configuration

• The fastest production car
• A quarter mile in 8.9 seconds
• Mileage between charges of 1000 km
• 95 km / h in 1.9 seconds
• 160 km / h in 4.2 seconds
• Max. speed over 400 km / h
• Battery 200 kWh
• 4 seats
• Start of production in 2020.

Tesla Roadster 2 is not just a render. She was on the stage and the guests could sit in it:



If everything goes according to the plans of Ilona Mask, then we will have another revolution - this time in the field of transportation.
