Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

What was the speed they drove at in their 500 mile Fremont to San Diego drive?

The video clip of them going up i5 they passed a diesel which was crawling, and the Tesla was keeping some pace with regular traffic.

What was the speed they drove at in their 500 mile Fremont to San Diego drive?

They said 8 hours, with a half hour break. So averaging ~66 MPH?

 

[Skryll]

So how many were delivered, how many are they making to keep for themselves, who else is going to take delivery? So many unanswered questions. Excited for the future

What was the speed they drove at in their 500 mile Fremont to San Diego drive?

Mostly 55 by the looks of things.

EDIT: Seems like some of it is higher as well:

What was the speed they drove at in their 500 mile Fremont to San Diego drive?

I think they said 8.5 hours (?)…

What was the speed they drove at in their 500 mile Fremont to San Diego drive?

looking at the video it seem like they don't hit 70mph once. It loos like 60 or lower average.

 

[Prunesquallor]

'we are going to keep them all to ourselves for now' ?

Sounded like they are already using them for the Sparks-Fremont run (pack/drivetrain delivery I presume). Didn’t say anything about car deliveries.

I imagine the TSLAQ brain trust organizing an 8 hour watch party to try and figure out how Tesla "faked" it.

He said they were posting a video of the whole trip in real time without any jump cuts. 500 miles in 8 hours averages to 62.5 MPH but trip included mandatory brake check I believe and also a bathroom break so actual drive time was less.

Yea, they showed that they "COULD" accelerate up the pass, to show how much power there is. But you know overall the speeds they can run at are regulated by signage.

The (stupid) legal speed limit for trucks in California is 55mph.

 

[verystandard]

Will they also have a 1x version?

 

[AudubonB]

Anyone have at fingertips what “less than 2kWh/mile” translates in diesel mpg?

To answer my own question, the video at the end showed the driver cruising at 55 mph. No doubt some faster and some slower speeds depending on traffic. I thought I heard the person beside Elon on stage (who was he, anyone know?) say something like 82 kph, which would be average 51 mph, which is about right for that distance in the time they took. I guess I could do a distance/time calculation taking into account the 1/2 hour break...

Semi event was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen. That truck is beyond incredible. Why would anyone buy anything else?!?

So SP should drop at least 5% tomorrow.... /s

I know it was light on details, but days like today remind me why I have no concern being fully invested in this company. Be it Semi trucks, Energy storage, FSD, Robotaxis, or just really profitable cars, there are so many ways this company can grow massively from here. Even with the macro uncertainty, T-word noise, I sleep easy not as easy as I would if I had no margin though

 

[Cosmacelf]

Semi seems to be the best Tesla yet. Not sure why there is not more attention, it’s a total industry game changer!

We didn't find out price and availability. Two things I'd sure like to know...

 

[thesmokingman]

That is so damn BOSS with the dual displays.

I had no idea about speed limit for trucks in Cali:

18 mpg ish?
