What motor will be used now?
Remember when Tusk said the Semi was going to operate off of model 3 motors? What a joke.
4x Model 3 is close to 1000 horsepower. Almost as much as your dragster.
You do understand duty cycle don't you? There is a reason you don't see 6.6 Duramax, 6.7 Superduty or pickup Cummins engines in a class 8 semi.
Anybody can get the 600 HP needed for a class 8 truck now days. It's the duty cycle that would kill these little toy engines.
Do you seriously think a toy model 3 toy motor will work in a semi? I don't care if you put 10 of them in a semi.
Even in a toy car that weighs 4K they blow up. Look what happened at the Nurburgring.
(Ben I wrote this early in this morning but it didn't get published for some reason. I see you had the same thoughts as I did.)- Duty cycle is always the issue
Can the Model 3 motor be able to keep that HP level up for 24 hrs towing two 40 foot trailers, up & down hills, etc ?
Same goes to Turtles ICE or any other 'car' based 1,000 HP power source. Duty cycle is completely different for a car vs semitime2roll wrote:

Great question. Keep checking in right here to get the latest updates of empty promises and speculation.
When is the Semi come out? Remember? The Semi?
To my knowledge the Semi has not been cancelled.
Why on earth would Tusk cancel the Semi? He has 10's of millions? 100's of millions from corporations that want to look like they are doing something. I call them donations. Tusk calls them reservations.
Tusk never cancels anything. He just keeps on pushing the date out, and out and out and out and out and out and out and out. Remember FSD? Remember the 1,000,000 Robo taxies that Tusk said was going to be on the road years ago?
Tusk has all of these suckers......er.....sorry.....customers money and works off of it. Cool scheme!!

Just go back and read some articles from fraudtec if you want a laugh.Turtle n Peeps wrote:

General Motors sold only 26 electric vehicles in the fourth quarter of 2021. Tesla recorded a record-breaking 308,000 sales for its EVs in Q4 alone.
GM reported 26 electric vehicles sold in the US for the 4th Quarter.
GM sold over 6 million vehicles in 2021.
How many EVs did Tesla sell in US? Maybe more than GM maybe less. GM is transparent in providing vehicle level reporting by countries or regions. Tesla will not identify the models or the countries or regions. But Van bought in on the hype.
Tesla discloses "deliveries" not sales? Why? Are most of the "deliveries" lease vehicles not sales? Is the semantics some kind of book cooking to excite Wall Street analysts and the faithful. Every automaker in this country and elsewhere reports sales? Why doesn't Tesla?
