Tesla launches electric trucks_How does Tesla electric trucks perform?

At noon on November 17th, Beijing time, Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the first electric truck from his home to the press conference. He jumped from the truck and expressed his confidence in the eyebrows. In his words, this car is enough You "imagine bursting." Tesla's first traction truck (trailer head) not only achieves the ideal of energy saving and carbon reduction, but also has no need to change the way of operation for freight operators and drivers, because Tesla trucks charge 800 kilometers of electricity and can still be 5 The second is accelerated to 96km/h, and the performance is almost comparable to that of the performance RV.

Tesla Semi's appearance is as good as the previous Tesla flavor, innovative and bold, simple science fiction. In order to reduce the drag coefficient, Tesla trucks are very streamlined and also abandon the traditional exterior mirrors.

When entering the cockpit, you will first find that the driver's seat is located in the center of the cockpit. There is a 15-inch touch screen on each side of the left and right. Like the Model 3, sitting in the driver's seat, because the position is centered, and the front windshield is toward The design that extends from top to bottom makes people feel that the front view is very open, and people have the feeling of being mastered. The steering wheel intuitively feels that the Bitsra Model S is bigger, there is no Tesla T-mark on it, only Tesla's English words, in the right rear of the driver's seat, there is a retractable pair. Driving the seat.

In order to maximize endurance, the Tesla truck has a very streamlined front shape with a low-car, flattened chassis and a covered rear wheel. The drag coefficient is only 0.36Cd, not only much lower than the 0.65 to 0.7Cd of conventional trucks, even It's still lower than BugatTI Chiron's 0.38Cd, and it doesn't waste any power at all. The cockpit configuration is very special, the driver's seat is placed in the center of the car, and the door is accessed through the rear doors.

Even with full load, Tesla trucks can still run on the slopes.

5 seconds to accelerate nearly 100 is empty, if it is full of goods? Tesla CEO Elon Musk said at the press conference that when the load is about 36 tons, it takes only 20 seconds to reach the same speed. In terms of climbing performance, Tesla trucks can run at a speed of 105km/h on a 5% slope. This is thanks to the large torque characteristics of electric motors. It takes only 30 minutes to replenish the 650-kilometer endurance, with a maximum mileage of 800 km. "Charging" has always been the door of electric vehicles, especially for the transportation industry that is worthy of every second. Tesla has introduced high-speed DC large-capacity chargers for trucks, which can provide nearly 650 kilometers of endurance in just 30 minutes. The driving route is relatively fixed, it is relatively easy to build a charging network, and the transportation industry can achieve the goal of electrification faster.

Of course, Tesla's technology features are not too few on the truck. The cockpit is equipped with a seat setting. There is a large touch screen on the left and right sides of the steering wheel. It can operate the vehicle function and navigation, and also has a rear view mirror and a blind spot. The detection function, in addition to driving safety assistance system, also provides a "follow-up mode", the truck will automatically follow the "captain" in front, reducing the burden on the driver.

On the cost issue that was most questioned by the outside world, Musk also made a detailed answer at the press conference that night. He said that after considering all the costs of energy consumption, operation, maintenance and insurance, the cost of Tesla electric trucks is The cost per mile is $1.26, while the cost per mile for a traditional diesel truck is $1.51, and if the fleet effect is taken into account, the cost savings may be even more substantial. Musk said the team consisting of three cars is For example, Tesla trucks can even reduce the cost to $0.85 per mile, while the cost of a conventional diesel car is still $1.51 per mile.

However, at the press conference of the day, Tesla did not announce the price of this electric truck. It only said that it will be mass-produced in 2019. Whether this new product can truly become a subversive in the freight market, but also need to get Market test. However, when driving about 1.6 million kilometers, it can save 200,000 US dollars (equal to 1,324,900 yuan) of fuel costs; compared to the expensive deposit of the Roadster sports car, the truck only needs 5,000 US dollars (about 33,200) to be pre-ordered, and is expected to Put into production in 2019.

Because this is the first time Tesla has set foot in the field of electric trucks. In the past, electric trucks were far from the average consumer, not mass consumer goods, so there were relatively few reports. Tesla's brand aura made electric trucks gain unprecedented attention.
