Starship
Designed to make moving millions of tons into space possible.....and ultimately carry humanity to Mars
One day, people will look back at Starship the way we look at the first airplanes or the first computers
A machine that looks impossible.....
Right before it changes everything
Top Gear just got an inside look at the production Tesla Semi.....and there are a LOT of new details
Tesla has refined almost every part of the truck for efficiency, durability and mass production:
β’ Semi is powder-coated instead of painted.....there is no traditional paint shop
β’ Production version is about 3% more efficient than the prototype
β’ More aerodynamic than a Bugatti Chiron without a trailer
β’ Standard Range uses a 548 kWh battery
β’ Despite its enormous size, Semi uses only ~7Γ the energy of a Model Y
β’ New front-bumper vent improves airflow around the wheels
β’ Three-piece front bumper makes repairs easier and cheaper
β’ Squarer battery-pack design helps retain heat better in cold weather
β’ Cloth seat is both heated AND ventilated
β’ A 6'6" person can stand completely upright inside the cab
β’ And yes.....the sun visor is absolutely gigantic
The factory itself is another story
1.7 MILLION sq. ft.
Designed for ~1,000 Semis per week
Up to ~50,000 trucks per year at full production
Tesla redesigned the truck and the factory together to make electric heavy-duty trucking work at massive scale
