The live stream is moving on to the roadster now. Says 1/4 mile is 8.9 seconds, which is just nuts for a car you can buy off the lot. I'm guessing insurance might be high on that car.

Details for those that couldn't watch the live stream: -500 mile range on a full charge. On empty 30 min of charging will get you 400 miles. -Lower drag coefficient than a bugatti veyron -They're claiming cost per mile is less than rail for shipping goods. -2019 availability -Lane centering + other features (jack knife prevention) -1,000,000 mile guarantee ---------------- Also they surprised announced a new roadster…

How are they doing this without triggering a browser prompt to allow my location to be sent by browser? The result for me was very accurate. Why wouldn't all the ecommerce sites use this method? I keep denying their prompts to access my location otherwise. https://location.teslamotors.com/geoip/v1.0.3/city/

Those numbers are simply insane, for anyone who doesn't know torque figures. A Dodge Challenger Hellcat makes 650 ft-lbs for comparison.
It seems like it will require a $5000 deposit (with a $50,000 "full deposit") and the truck will cost between $200,000 and $250,000, according to the page source.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I mean, with Semi's isn't a big thing going to be about self driving, therefore not needing such experienced drivers? I'm not saying have a kid on there, but what angle do they have if not for self-driving? Poor range, unrepairability?
The comment you are replying to is about repair, not about the drivers. Did you maybe mean to reply to a different comment?
I was just saying about maybe the driver being in the picture isn't something Tesla is going for. A prime argument Tesla has was about eventually eliminating the need for so many drivers. "If not that, then what else?" was what I wanted to say.
EDIT: They seem to have a range of 500 miles. Which is 1/3 the range of normal diesel semi's.
