The Tesla Invention of Semi Truck and Roadster
The Invention of Semi Truck and Roadster
As Elon Musk points out, his new invention brings the world closer to the abandonment of fossil fuels.
In addition, the car promises to be much more economical than diesel trucks:
- It does not have to be spent on fuel.
- Autonomous transportation imply a reduction in the salaries of drivers.
- With a maximum load of 36 tons and driving at the fastest possible speed, the truck of the future can overcome more than 800 km without recharging.
- Half an hour of charging should be enough for 650 km of track.
operational Cost:
According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the battery will be 100 thousand dollars - this is the most expensive element of the design.
Close Description:
- Semi-autonomous control system will allow without driver's participation to carry out traffic on the chosen lane, to be reconstructed into another row and even to turn to the neighboring motorway.
- The cabin of the vehicle is designed for one person who will sit in the center surrounded by touch-sensitive monitors, reflecting such indicators as speed, battery level, traffic situation, etc.
- The electric truck should go into mass production in 2019. Sales will not begin until 2020.
- The car will have four independent engines for each individual wheel.In the absence of cargo, the Tesla Semi Truck can accelerate to 100 km / h in 5 seconds, and at full load - for 20.
Tesla and Environment impact:
It is worth noting that not all experts share a positive attitude about the introduction of electric vehicles. According to scientists from Sanford C. Bernstein , air pollution from electricity generation is not inferior to environmental damage from the use of gasoline engines.
According to Tesla , this problem will be solved with the spread of solar and wind batteries. The main issue remains the disposal of used batteries.
