  1. Free energy, free transportation, free robot labor, Tesla has basically solved the reasons why things cost money, and all we need is 20 to 40 years for businesses to implement it. Good thing because society as it is likely won't last that long with Democrats in power.

  2. Dude frito lays has been using tesla trucks since december '22 and had another 6 in jan. '23. Them and tesla have been doing testing with the semi for the last 3 years. I know pepsi owns frito lay but they didnt want a pepsi logo on the tesla trucks until they worked out the kinks under lays.

  3. Coca Cola has one of the biggest distribution models of any company. (Bigger than Pepsi)

    After all go to any small remote town in South America or Africa and go to the shop and you will see coke for sale

  4. This is very exciting to see. I wonder if they can sync their charging with the time schedule of the driver, because THAT would make it even more exciting. No tired, overworked, drivers on big rigs, I mean they should be able to (almost) drive themselves. Wonder how the team drivers (two drivers combo) will deal with charging in the future. Do we see trailers with solar on it to recharge the battery slowly during the day? A new era in trucking for sure.

  5. hmm pretty cool, though "100% renewable" is a stretch. A survey performed in California showed that 13.3% comes from natural gas and 27% from coal , with the remainder sourced from a combination of nuclear, wind and solar. So maybe more like "60% renewable energy".

  6. as a truck driver, i want to say a Tesla semi would not be efficient, we drive for 10 hours and we may stop like 1-2 times during the entire trip, a Tesla truck especially during mountain driving we would be stopping way more frequently to charge it, no thanks, Local deliveries tho i could see it working, but not long hauls

  7. Gee I wonder how many strip mines (and how big) y’all had to go through just to make enough batteries for a single semi. Volvo’s in-line 6 > Tesla semis.

  8. Companies these days knowingly lie as there is little downside for doing so. Since the first deliveries, Tesla has not been transparent about the total operating costs of these vehicles. In 2023, the are for region/local use only. To buy one or more semis you have to buy:

    1) Dedicated power from the utility

    2) Massive Tesla Power Banks

    3) 1-5 Mega Chargers

    4) Tesla setup of the equipment

    5) Commercial support contract for 24/7 uptime

    If you have noticed no company Tesla is doing business with will disclose these expenses as there is probably an NDA in place

    If this solution is so great and is 'cheaper than rail per Musk') let's get some independent sunshine on this product.

  9. Zero emissions what about the damage to the earth for the batteries and what about the electricity that is bad on the earth too just a thought. What about all the co2 that they put into the drinks how many tons of co2 is released a year just from soda and beer and carbonated beverages each day and year and yet they don’t carbon tax that but no it’s not a gas truck so it is all ok
