ELON MUSK REVIEW 2024 TESLA SEMI NEW VERSION! UP TO 90% SURPRISE, 10,000LB AND 600 MILES PER CHARGE!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Semi is presented as a continuously improving electric truck, with potential updates influenced by the Cybertruck's technology. The video highlights shared 800-1000 volt architectures and possible 4680 battery experimentation. Initial range estimates for the Semi were 300 miles (tri-motor) and 500 miles (quad-motor) when fully loaded at 80,000 lbs GVW, with unloaded ranges potentially reaching 400 and 600 miles respectively. However, the introduction of a sleeper cab variant is expected to increase weight, potentially leading to a reduced range of around 400 miles or less, or necessitating a smaller battery pack. The price is also projected to increase significantly, potentially reaching $250,000-$280,000, though grants and fuel savings are noted. The drag coefficient has reportedly been reduced to 0.22. Rumors discussed include a dedicated Tesla engineering team at PepsiCo and the potential use of lighter, more flexible pouch batteries, though cylindrical cells are also mentioned. The video dismisses speculation about the Semi being solely a stock-boosting tactic, emphasizing its strategic role in Tesla's long-term vision for electric transportation.
