Tesla’s Unveil of its Electric Truck, and Elon’s Special Surprise – DR009 Tesla's Unveil of its Electric Truck, and Elon's Special Surprise - DR009 - Driverless Radio
This episode is a little different since Robert is covering a life event. In this episode, Robert provides live commentary to Tesla's unveil of their semi-autonomous, electric, semi-truck.
This is the event that was originally promised this summer, but then delayed until September, but then delayed until November. In typical Tesla fashion, Elon announced that the unveil would occur at 11pm EST on November 16th, but then it was delayed until 11:15pm. After the truck unveil, Elon had a special surprise!!!!
In this episode, Robert joins the live event online. While getting temporarily delayed, he explores designing his dream Model S before the live event starts. The live event starts with the trucks driving onto the stage. Elcon then highlights the exceptional acceleration and speed capabilities of the trucks. These trucks could reach 60 mph up a 5% slope while traditional trucks would struggle to reach 45 mph. Elon also discussed the great aerodynamic properties of the truck, the fantastic recharge capabilities, and some other cool stuff.
It cost a hefty $5,000 deposit to register to buy a truck. I am not sure how many people will register for a truck since many people are still waiting on the Model 3 that they registered for almost two years ago.
Overall, the truck was lackluster. It is a very cool concept, and will significantly help the environment, but until we have a cost and can validate a business case for the trucks, the verdict is out.
After some technical difficulties, the show resumed and Elon had a freaking awesome surprise that I don't think anyone was expecting. Listen to the episode for the details.
