Tesla will reveal a semi truck in September

[tay]

Tesla was not immediately available for additional comment. But the automaker has long planned to add both a semi truck and a pickup truck to its lineup of cars. Musk discussed both in the second volume of his "master plan" for Tesla.

"We believe the Tesla Semi will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo transport, while increasing safety and making it really fun to operate," Musk wrote in his plan.

Responding to questions on Twitter Thursday, the CEO also offered details on two more of the company's future models.

He said Tesla's next generation Roadster will be a convertible.

Tesla appears to be on a roll. Elon Musk's personal fortune is now large enough to buy General Motors.

If it wasn't for Rupert Murdoch we may have or may have never had the electric car already....

No more truck stops

Poor oil.

This is good for oil. Aside from the fact that fuel is only a portion of what oil is used for the simple fact that the downtime required for recharging all those batteries makes them unusable except for limited delivery vehicles. Then there is the fact that all those tons of batteries required to get a days worth of running time takes away from payload. One thing it will do though is increase the demand for coal and NG fired power plants to charge them all.

No more truck stops

Just million acre solar farms to charge them. Every 50 miles.

Tesla is the most subsidized company in history.

Go easy on mentalfloss he propably couldnt change a tire unless he got the OnStar service to do it for him.

With electricity production more and more dependent on fossil fuel, I can't see how this is a real solution to carbon from fossil fuel. It only shows the majority of humans can't visualize that powering their battery will only mean the same amount of fossil fuel being used to produce electricity then what used to be pumped straight into the car.

Instead of spreading the pollution everywhere where cars drive. A heavy amount of pollution will concentrate at the origins of the electricity production.

That would infer he ever leaves his parent's basement.

NAh they want to turn productive farmland into taxpayer subsidized solar farms.Or build nukes. I have found over the years that a good many anti oil activists are just shills for nuke power.

How is turning the whole surface of the planet into a death star looking solar panel a solution to anything?

How many gas generators will be needed when nature decides to have a cloudy week?

 

[petros]

A volcano like St Helens or Pinatubo would really **** things up for the solar industry and those that rely on it.

In Canada in cold weather how long would the battery last supplying power and electric heat....?
A friend of mine has a hybrid and he has to run on the motor 6 months out of the year and his gas mileage over twelve months is worst than mine...
