Tesla Semi Trucks to Reach a Range of 1000 kilometres
May 24, 2018
The global business magnate Elon Musk’s (entrepreneur, engineer and innovator) company Tesla is going to revolutionize the face of goods transport by road. Recently they announced their debut venture in commercial transport segment with the Tesla Semi truck. This wedge-shaped, streamlined house of power is supposed to go into full-scale manufacturing somewhere in 2019. Already supermarket chains have started to book their own! And why is it so?rnrnThis awe-inspiring, amazing electrical vehicle can cover a distance of 966 kilometers approximately on a full charge which is about 150 kilometers more than what they initially claimed. Point-to-point transportation will get a new face with this technology. At such great speed delivering goods will be as easy as having a pie! And not only this, the company is proud of its safety features too. This semi truck front glass can withstand even a nuclear explosion let alone the possibility of accidental damages. It will be equipped with semi-autonomous driving capabilities. It will also have the intelligence to detect jackknifing by identifying a sudden change in directions or lockups and applying individual brakes on wheels to prevent such incidents.rnrnrnrnThe Tesla semi truck will be fitted with super fast charging capabilities.
