Model S Owner and Frustrated Tesla Fan
Perhaps the most interesting thing we learned about the Semi is the center driving position, as well as the two different *heights* (which seem like a very minor option variation, probably alterable after purchase). It seems clear that they are planning to sell essentially a *single model* for all markets (no RHD/LHD distinction).Any speculation if the Tesla Semi is specifically an American market product?
Other points: between the trailer and the tractor are automatically activated flaps, which open up when making tight turns to allow the trailer to rotate.
Megacharger (darn, I was rooting for Hypercharger).
Oh, and they're definitely putting up their own solar + Powerpacks at the Megachargers. The 7 cent price works out right: 5 cents for Powerpack, 2 cents for solar/wind & misc. i don't think land acquisition or property tax is accounted for but I'm presuming these will be dropped in pretty rural areas to start with.
