Everything We Know About Tesla's Semi Truck

I wonder what the range is ?

"We can't say too much about the vehicles though, as these are more like visions than actual prototypes."

A key phrase.

But lots of background data that isn't opinion. Pretty interesting.

#1. Crazy jacked up Blade Runner type pickup.

#2. 300+ miles on a charge.

#3. Less than 50K.

#4. Better that a Porsche 911.

#5. Will haul more than 300,000 lbs.

I want close to 600 miles range unladen. The rest are not important.

Tesla will finally unveil its long-awaited electric pickup truck on November 21st, Elon Musk tweeted on Wednesday. The truck, which Musk has dubbed “Cybertruck,” is supposed to look like something straight out of Blade Runner, the CEO has said.

The truck will be unveiled at Tesla’s design studio in Los Angeles, California, which sits on the same lot as SpaceX’s headquarters. Musk originally planned to reveal the pickup truck earlier this year, but he announced in September that he was pushing the event back to November.

Musk has said the forthcoming pickup truck has a “heart-stopping” design, with better utility than a Ford F-150 and superior performance to a basic Porsche 911.

Guessing Tusk saw the Toyota commercial showing their pickup towing a stripper Shuttle, which was listed at 190,000 lbs

Of course Tusk won't be out done...

Too funny, but sad at the same time...

As for the specs, Musk has also been hyping those up for the pickup truck.

Tesla’s CEO has previously sought suggestions for features to add to the Tesla truck under development, and he revealed some planned features, like an option for 400 to 500 miles of range, Dual Motor All-wheel-drive powertrain with dynamic suspension, as well as “300,000 lbs of towing capacity.”

Earlier this summer, he said that the Tesla Pickup truck will cost less than $50,000 and “be better than a Ford F150.”

Musk said that Tesla plans to unveil the “Cybertruck” later this month.

Would love to test drive this but for sure won't afford this haha

I’m not sure they have put a price on a plaid model S but I’m thinking around 120 -130 grand. Still 20 - 30 grand cheaper than a Taycan but 40 grand more than a standard model S.

Just a guess. Big car though. The sucker would barely fit in my garage.

I don't buy the story either. Tesla is not a golf cart. These people need a driving lesson and a course in ethics.

Surprised that he couldn't manhandke the steering wheel...nor allowed to work the brake pedal

The folks who try this route to cover up their own mistake usually don’t know about the vehicle data logs....which always prove them wrong. Lots of things have to go wrong for something like this to happen.

How would autopilot even engage when not on a road. The software specifically written to prevent it.

All the torque sensors on the steering wheel would have to fail so he couldn’t override the steering input...which can be done with your baby finger.

Brake systym would have to have a complete and total failure. They are mechanical.

And all (and a bunch of other things) would have to fail at the same time.

Toyota had a run on this kind of thing until people figured out that the black box records all inputs.

On edit. Typo.
