We just learned that by the end of the decade Tesla will supply an electric crossover Model Y to the conveyor, for which not only the production equipment will be seriously modernized, but a new platform with more advanced components will be developed in comparison with Model 3. At least, the length of the electric vehicle used by Tesla at this stage plans to cut significantly.
At the quarterly reporting conference, the electric trunk tractor, whose sketch image was presented last week, was also discussed. Tesla Semi will be shown as a prototype in September this year, and Ilon Mask (Elon Musk) admitted that he had already made a small test drive in the parking lot, comparing the handling of the truck with a sports car. Today, Mask admitted that Tesla Semi will use several electric motors borrowed from Tesla Model 3.
The company's CFO added that the development of this tractor is generally not as difficult and costly as it might seem, but in production it can be cheaper than traditional trucks with ICE. Moreover, lower operating costs, not to mention the level of emissions of harmful gases. On the conveyor Tesla trucks will rise earlier than the promised pick-up trucks for electric traction, however, the gap between the announcements of these two types of vehicles will be small.
The idea of creating a truck on electric traction Mask is not at all considered a utopia. According to him, almost all types of transport can be converted to electric traction, with the exception of missile, as he ironically noted. Related Products :
