About six months ago, Elon Musk promised to launch a truck. Six months later, the announcement of his performance appears.
Mark your calendar: visit the Razão Automóvel website, on October 26th. It is on this day that Tesla's first truck will be unveiled.
Tesla doesn't stop and continues to show that his ambitions are not limited to cars. The phrase “Tesla is not just a car brand” is gaining more and more meaning. In addition to cars, the brand founded by Elon Musk is extending its domains to domestic energy solutions (with photovoltaic tiles), charging stations (all over the world) and now… trucks!
About Tesla's truck
Despite being 100% electric, it is not a short-distance urban truck. Tesla's truck will be long-haul and will belong to the highest load-carrying class in the US. This information was provided by Elon Musk himself.For the rest, nothing is known about its specifications – be it load capacity or autonomy. Elon Musk just mentioned that his truck surpasses the torque value of any other truck in the same class and that “we can drive it like a sports car”. WTF!
Sport truck?
Yes, they read well. Elon Musk guarantees that he was extremely surprised by the agility of one of the development prototypes, justifying his claim. From the little that the teaser reveals, we can only guess the luminous signature and an aerodynamically designed cabin, tapering towards the front.
The future of road transport
If until now energy storage technology has been the deterrent to converting long-haul road transport to 100% electric solutions, recent advances in this area have made it possible to envisage the first proposals in this regard.
In addition to Tesla's proposal, we were also able to get to know the Nikola One, another 100% electric model for the future of road transport.
