General Discussion / Tesla
« on: December 05, 2022, 05:52:48 AM »
I wonder if any of the folks here have been following Tesla
Say what you will about the man - but the company is a game-changer in so many ways
It's the #2 vehicle seller here in NZ - behind Toyota, of course
But, imho, it'll be the Tesla Semi that will really disrupt a quite stagnant industry. The numbers speak for themselves:
A 500 mile (800K) range, fully-loaded (something like 28 tonnes payload)
A half-hour charge time to 70% of battery
1000 volt truck & charging electrics - allowing small, light components using cooled charging conducters etc
Believe it or not as you choose - Tesla says they'll sell 50,000 of them in 2024. The queue to buy is long & getting longer
What prompts me to mention this here is my memory of our former Australian friend challenging all comers to wager (was it $100K) that Tesla wouldn't be here in a few years
I'm watching the space with interest. I just love the tech
