Tesla Semi: heavyweight at high speed
Tesla CEO Elon Musk continues to amaze the world with his innovations. He managed to revolutionize the automotive industry by producing autonomous and reliable electric vehicles. But that's not all ! He also took a masterful move by developing a space launcher called Space X. A reusable launcher that turned the space industry upside down.
Today, Elon Musk continues to change the world of transportation with the Tesla Semi electric truck.
Inspired by the Model S, this trailer has not one engine, but four engines per wheel. This choice of design gives the car the ability to accelerate from 4 to 0 km per hour in just 100 seconds.
Tesla Semi features futuristic lines. Indeed, the aerodynamic profile of its body makes it easier to penetrate the air. This leads to a significant reduction in the fuel consumption of the heat engine.

Tesla Semi: comfortable interior
To see blind spots during maneuvers, the pilot sits in a seat surrounded by two touch screens.
In addition, for maximum comfort, the driver is offered driving assistance systems that allow him to keep the car on the track under all circumstances. The driver will also have the opportunity to rest during the trip thanks to the automatic piloting built into the Tesla Semi. In addition, the driver no longer has to worry about the autonomy of his truck. Indeed, according to the Tesla CEO, given that most trips are less than 400 km, the semi-trailer will be able to travel back and forth without the need for refueling. It is thanks to the powerful batteries on board the trailer that the truck has such exceptional autonomy.
