Tesla Semi Delivery Event · Elon Musk Podcast

0:00
All right, welcome to Sparks Nevada.
0:01
A set of the Tesla gigafactory and out as a semi truck Factory
0:05
as well so that can't believe it's been five years.
0:09
So we had we unveiled the Tesla semi five years ago been a lot
0:14
that's happened since then say the least.
0:16
So we're incredibly excited tonight to actually deliver our
0:20
first production Tesla semi trucks.
0:29
And it's right next door to the Giga.
0:31
Nevada are gigafactory here which produces the most number
0:36
of battery cells, and North America, produces a drive units
0:41
and battery packs, and yeah. So I just like to start off by
0:45
giving it a big hand to the chest gigafactory team and the
0:48
Tesla semi-truck team. It's like so and I think you've
0:51
had a chance to tour the production line.
0:54
So Go. Right.
0:56
And yeah, we're looking forward to actually delivering our first
0:59
production trucks to PepsiCo so it's going to be fantastic.
1:05
Yeah and also a huge thank you to all of our other customers
1:08
mean, a lots happened in the last five years and our
1:11
customers have been super loyal and supportive and you stuck
1:14
with us and then a huge part of our development and we're
1:16
excited to show everything that we've been doing off to
1:18
everybody tonight great. So let's get started.
1:25
Yeah. So Yeah, sorry for the delay.
1:29
So it's been like sheer number. Sheer amount of drama between
1:33
this, this is the last of that five years ago and now is a lot
1:36
has happened in the world, but here we are Azrael.
1:40
So, Yeah, we threw a great party if you few years back and trying
1:49
to do a similar thing here tonight and Tesla's been growing
1:53
like crazy. I mean, everybody here has been,
1:55
you know, contributing towards the growth and unveiling awesome
1:58
products and really scaling us to the point.
1:59
That now we can actually work on semi and we're really excited to
2:02
do that, but we've been working a little bit on the background,
2:05
close the chest. You'll right level of priority.
2:06
But, you know, made a lot of progress incorporate, a lot of
2:09
things that we're going to talk about and at the end of the day,
2:12
we have not wavered from our mission to build the most
2:15
compelling greatest. Class 8 truck in history so
2:17
we're going to keep putting our foot forward to do that and
2:20
yeah, it's pretty awesome. So you might wonder why build a
2:34
semi truck because if you look at the actual unit volume, it's
2:37
small compared to passenger vehicle.
2:39
So for passenger vehicles, you know, there's on the order of
2:42
almost 100 million that are sold every year and whereas
2:48
semi-trucks it's for for 500,000, not even yet a couple
2:51
hundred thousand Class 8 trucks here.
2:53
Bubbly yeah are no. No sorry that's u.s.
2:55
Yeah. So it's so there's you know, So
2:59
the US says quote like 15 million passenger vehicles and a
3:03
couple hundred thousand semi truck.
3:05
So it seems like a small percentage but it's actually 20
3:08
percent of u.s. vehicle emissions because you've got a
3:11
huge vehicle and it's being driven all the time.
3:14
So when you factor in the number of hours driven and the weight
3:18
that it's carrying, it's actually a low.
3:20
It's only 1% of vehicle production.
3:21
It's 20% of vehicle emissions and it's over a third of all the
3:26
particulate emissions. So from a sort of Health,
3:29
Standpoint particularly in like cities.
3:31
This is a huge impact like gigantic so that's why we're
3:35
doing it, you know. So you see ya Yeah, this is this
3:43
is really core to our mission and do you want some point?
3:46
There's a lot of heavy trucks that are deployed in dense,
3:49
urban areas. And so the communities that are
3:50
around freeways, a lot of where these trucks are domiciled are
3:53
going to really benefit particularly from the
3:54
particulate emissions reductions and then you've just trying to
3:57
reduce emissions globally. Every truck that we put on the
4:00
road that replaces, a diesel truck is a huge amount of
4:02
Leverage. And so that's that is why we're
4:04
doing this and makes a huge difference towards driving us
4:07
towards our total mission of sustainable energy and
4:09
transportation. Yeah, Think maybe a lot of
4:11
people don't realize. It's actually like, you know,
4:13
quite unhealthy to be living next to a highway with with
4:16
diesel trucks. FYI.
4:19
So so being able to make them electric is just going to be
4:22
just in addition to sort of climate change and global
4:26
warming matters, it's all so quiet and it's going to improve
4:31
the quality of your air and it will actually just fundamentally
4:34
improve. The health of people living near
4:36
freeways which is of the super big deal.
4:38
You have anybody's been woken up at a noisy Truck delivering in
4:41
the morning. They're the quiet will
4:42
definitely be very welcome. I know, I will appreciate that.
4:45
Yeah, so we're aiming to cover all the NATO major forms of
4:49
Transport. It's just consistent with the
4:50
Tesla Mission because sometimes I get asked like well no
4:53
shouldn't Tesla just produced like, you know, fast cars or
4:58
premium cars or whatever, it's like.
5:01
But but once our actual Mission actual mission is to accelerate
5:04
the Advent of sustainable energy.
5:06
So that's why we're making this wide range of cars that don't
5:09
really make Sense from a brand standpoint I guess
5:12
traditionally, but their make total sense.
5:14
When you consider what's the mission of the company?
5:17
Mission of the company is to accelerate sustainable energy
5:19
and so it's super consistent with that goal and really a
5:23
crucial piece of the puzzle and that's why we're doing it.
5:26
Yeah and I mean Elon you first laid this out in master plan
5:29
part, duh. And you know, now we're here to
5:31
actually make it happen and everything from the mission side
5:36
along with reducing the cost of cargo transport and also make it
5:39
fun. I mean we want to make the truck
5:41
than awesome Driving Experience. Make a kick-ass for the drivers.
5:45
Yeah, I mean it looks sick. I mean you want to drive that?
5:56
I mean that thing looks like it came from the future.
5:58
It mean it drives like a like sites.
6:01
Like driving is, you know that Tesla literally, it's fun.
6:04
It looks awesome. And you know there's this is
6:07
actually a big shortage of drivers and so if your truck
6:11
driver and you want the most badass rig on the road, this is
6:13
it. Yeah that's it.
6:24
It's a beast. So you know at Tesla we don't
6:27
make slow cars. We don't make this.
6:30
This thing has crazy power relative to a diesel truck.
6:35
I mean actually especially if you don't have if you're not
6:37
towing anything you could zip around like it just looks crazy
6:40
basically. Looks like a elephant moving
6:42
like a cheetah just didn't look right correctly but it's it's,
6:45
this isn't, this is not sluggish in the least, it's fast.
6:49
It's fast to accelerate. It's fast to break.
6:53
It's A step change Improvement. What?
6:55
It's like to drive a semi truck. Yeah.
6:57
When we got three times, the power three times the power than
7:01
any diesel truck on the road right now.
7:02
So you got all the work, all the power you need to get the job
7:04
done. But the other reason that it's a
7:06
beast is because it's also efficient.
7:08
And you can go 500 miles on a single charge on one of these
7:11
things. So it's the mix of those two
7:13
that this is why this is a game changer and what's awesome.
7:15
Is both of those are enabled by our new thousand volt power
7:19
train which is the first vehicle that we're doing with that and
7:21
don't worry, they'll be some more things.
7:22
More vehicles coming. And with that.
7:24
But this is going to be a game-changer because of all the
7:26
awesome innovations that have happened behind the scenes and
7:29
under the hood, so to speak. Cool.
7:33
Yeah. So we're obviously leveraging
7:36
leveraging, a ton of stuff that we've already done.
7:39
So, we've got what's not probably fifty 1 billion miles
7:43
driven. I don't know if he's more every
7:45
day, so we're using our existing drive units Power, Electronics
7:49
input, tainment are super efficient, heat pump track
7:52
system and state-of-the-art inverters.
7:54
So we're able to leverage the existing power train and
7:59
elements that are already made at volume in order to Extreme
8:03
efficiency of cost and capability.
8:07
Yeah, and also means we get to leverage.
8:08
All the reliability that the active car Fleet is doing so
8:12
we're accumulating. All these miles getting a ton of
8:13
demonstrated learnings into the field and we're going to go and
8:16
put all these trucks into the world and get a lot of learnings
8:18
as well. But we're coming off of a great
8:20
launching pad with everything that's done in the rest of our
8:22
products already. And it's also enabled because
8:25
Tesla's got this full vertical integration, on the software and
8:28
the hardware side. So the teams that are working
8:31
together to put all that. That together into one package.
8:33
This is a huge win for all of our products, but particularly
8:36
semi Let's a hardcore testing. So I mean, when things about a
8:44
commercial truck, is that the reliability has to be extremely
8:47
high so it's good. He's got to be running
8:49
continuously can't break down. It's going to handle every kind
8:52
of weather. Uptime is super important for
8:55
any kind of semi truck. So we've tested durability in
8:57
every kind of weather, every kind of environment.
8:59
I mean, you could. Yeah, yeah, I mean we so even
9:03
just we've driven Donner, we'll talk a little bit more about
9:05
that in a moment, but we've been through hot cold snow rain.
9:08
We've been putting this thing through Faces in the lab as well
9:11
as in the real world. The simulation team has been
9:13
doing an incredible job of being able to scale all of that in the
9:17
virtual side. And the other thing is that
9:20
we're going to take these and we're going to put our money
9:21
where our mouth is and we're going to put these on into our
9:23
own Fleet into our own supply chain.
9:26
And we're going to use this to transport goods between our
9:29
factories and our suppliers because we believe in it, not
9:32
just from a mission perspective in a cost perspective but
9:34
because we want to close that feedback loop.
9:36
We got to get that learning as fast as we can.
9:38
We want it straight from the drivers went straight from the
9:40
service techs that are working on it.
9:42
We're going to take all that data that's coming in and
9:45
continue to and find the product and make it better.
9:46
Just like we do on the car side. Yeah, exactly.
9:49
So to be clear, like, we're these cement trucks are running
9:53
24/7 between Sparks technically and Sparks not Reno, but most
9:58
people think of it as Reno Reno, Reno, Sparks and Tahoe.
10:01
And yeah, this is technically, the called the Tahoe Reno
10:04
industrial complex or has an interesting back story about why
10:07
it's called that very, yeah. Ha ha ha.
10:12
So anyway it's the Tesla using a trucks continuously then night
10:19
between here and Fremont and back again is going to be is an
10:23
a great test of the vehicle and will give us a great feedback
10:26
loop for continuing to improve the product.
10:32
So I click is sort of not working memory Oreo.
10:36
All right, so yeah we've got to try and Order powertrain system
10:40
so and there we're using the cognitive reps leave.
10:44
So, since we're using that the The Plaid Model S model X power,
10:47
train. And but it we're actually
10:51
enabling the to of the drive units to actually disconnect so
10:56
that they're not free spinning. The efficiency is actually much
10:59
greater in Cruise. Yeah, this is really unique and
11:01
we were to go with it. Why motor system?
11:03
One of them is constantly engaged, so that's for maximum
11:06
efficiency. You're getting a highway that's
11:07
doing the bulk of the work and it's operating at the peak
11:09
efficiency point of the entire drivetrain and then the other
11:12
two units are for torque and acceleration.
11:15
So when the driver needs it to get their job done, whether
11:17
that's getting out of a loading dock or it's on the road and you
11:19
pass somebody. You're tackling a grade.
11:21
You have the torque and power to do it.
11:23
And the cool thing is that these are clutched automatically so no
11:27
driver input needed but it's also seamless.
11:29
So the highway efficiency unit is cruising along.
11:32
Doing its thing. And if the driver puts their
11:34
foot to the floor, the torque units, pinup clutch, engages and
11:37
takes over. And it does all of that before.
11:40
We've maxed out the torque on the efficiency units so it's
11:42
completely smooth. There's no turbo lag, or
11:45
jerkiness or anything like that, no driver input needed, it's
11:48
smooth. Both in terms of acceleration
11:50
and deceleration for region. It's really cool.
11:53
Happening all behind the scenes. What I find actually really wild
11:57
about this is you can have it a truck which is 82,000 pounds.
12:01
And by the way We reason we can actually do 82,000 pounds is
12:04
that there is a 2,000-pound extra, that's allowed by law for
12:08
electric trucks. So you get a little bit of a
12:10
advantage on the, on the, on the weight side but you can
12:13
basically put 82,000 pounds on at Crews using and the only
12:19
thing that's doing that is a tiny little motor on one axle.
12:22
Know that big bubble? Football-sized ma'am.
12:24
Yeah, you can carry it. Yeah.
12:26
Like it's like a you know you can check it in your luggage.
12:30
Good luck that doing that with a diesel engine and one.
12:32
Of those is more powerful than a diesel.
12:34
Yeah, yeah. Just that just that one little
12:36
guy is but it's more powerful than a regular diesel engine on
12:39
a semi truck but it's just I find it amazing.
12:41
That this enormous thing can be pulled by something that you
12:43
could carry in your hands. It's like wow that's power
12:46
density. Yep.
12:54
And then in terms of we're putting this to use in the real
12:57
world. Yeah, so that that trucks
13:06
clocking in at 82, that's when 82,000 pounds.
13:10
And when you see that pass shot again, you'll notice you'll
13:14
notice that speedometer is climbing, you know, we're going
13:17
6% and accelerating up. That grade.
13:20
This is yeah, this is where it comes in.
13:23
Yeah, it's really, it's like driving a normal car, not like
13:26
driving a truck. It's just that you're removing
13:28
82,000 pounds. Yeah, the show is brought to you
13:30
by backblaze, I use back place to back up my podcast.
13:34
My video files, all of my writing stuff, and all my
13:37
photos. And you get unlimited computer
13:39
backup, for Macs and PCs for just $7 a month.
13:43
You can backup your own documents photos videos,
13:45
drawings projects, all of your data and access Backed up data
13:50
from anywhere in the world using the web app and you can access
13:53
the files on your mobile to iOS Android apps all covered.
13:57
And this is the cool part. This is my favorite part.
13:58
You can restore it by mail or hard drive will come to your
14:01
house with all your data shipped to your door.
14:04
I could come to your business to and you can restore return
14:07
refund program so you can buy a hard drive restore, send the
14:10
hard drive back within 30 days and get a full refund.
14:13
So basically they ship you this hard drive and then you ship it
14:17
back and you don't ever pay for it.
14:18
Which Is the perfect program for somebody who has huge files.
14:21
You don't want to waste days and days, downloading terabytes and
14:25
teraflops of data. And if you're worried about
14:27
accidentally, deleting your files to bucks extra month, you
14:31
can increase your retention history to one year, and I use
14:34
it for all of my video. Files comes in super handy.
14:37
So seven dollars plus two dollars nine dollars a month and
14:40
you get everything backed up. He's a mind for up to a year.
14:43
And if you use the URL back, place.com, slash Ilan, you get a

15:06
I defied mac and more and it's recently been listed on the
15:08
NASDAQ stock exchange under be lze.
15:11
So you know they're legit backblaze is committed more than
15:14
ever to bring an easy and affordable data storage that you
15:17
can trust. Don't be that person that Forgot

15:32
Plays.com / heel on back plays.com Ilan.
15:37
Backblaze.com Ilan. Yeah.
15:41
So any Highway grade? You come across you can tackle
15:44
at speed. Yeah, there's no compromise, no
15:46
slow down, no. And the other beauty is You've
15:49
got all this power going up but you also have it going down and
15:52
what that means is you've got regenerative braking.
15:54
So, rather than using a jake brake or engine braking, like a
15:57
diesel truck does where you have to worry about hitting your
15:58
shifts. If you miss a gear, you're on
16:00
your brakes and potentially in a runaway situation, you have to
16:03
worry about any of that. There's no shifting them.
16:05
Nothing. And so the re Gendry captures
16:07
all that energy as you're going down, these grades.
16:09
But on top of it, it also has a safer system for not just the
16:12
driver, but everybody on the road because there's no gear to
16:15
miss. Yeah.
16:17
Just it's worth re-emphasizing that point.
16:19
Because it's an electric drivetrain.
16:21
When it goes downhill, you actually or when you slow down a
16:24
tree captures, the energy of motion or the energy of height.
16:29
The potential and kinetic, energy are largely recapture,
16:32
whereas for a diesel truck that's not possible.
16:34
You can't just create diesel, so it you just end up hitting
16:39
brakes and, and then your brakes overheat and you can't use them.
16:42
And then it's actually quite as pretty dangerous because you're
16:45
the brakes stopped working. Yeah, that's why you have
16:47
runaway truck ramps. Yeah, And it's funny because
16:50
it's so if any of you that are driven I-80 and driven Donner
16:52
there's a mandatory break, check stop for trucks down by Emigrant
16:56
Gap. We've done this as really funny
16:58
because we'll go over the grade will come down and we just kind
17:01
of pulled aside and like, well, there's nothing to check.
17:03
We've never used the things and we just keep driving.
17:05
Yeah, we get to the bottom of the hill.
17:07
We have cold breaks. Yeah.
17:09
That's like mind-blowing interred in the trucking world,
17:12
so it's like insane basically. And you can sew So it's it's
17:22
really worth emphasizing that that's a significant safety
17:24
Improvement for the truck driver and for other people on the
17:27
road. And and the we also have in
17:30
traction control because the Precision of an electric motor
17:34
is vastly better than a diesel engine.
17:36
You know, it's sort of got like the trying to get the right now
17:40
to hear it like Scott the Precision of like a laser
17:43
printer. It's not great.
17:44
It's like really precise. I'm saying, and and the reaction
17:49
is sort of like you don't have to worry about, try like
17:53
traction controls, awesome. It's got its automatically
17:56
stopping the truck from jackknifing.
17:58
It's doing all the safety stuff in the background that just
18:02
isn't possible with regular diesel trucks.
18:04
It's a step change in technology in so many ways.
18:09
Yeah, and the tight integration with the software team that we
18:12
have here, really makes that happen because it means that we
18:14
could take all that. Precision and actually put it to
18:17
use. You know, it's not some time and
18:19
if some third party powertrain oh this is all in house.
18:21
As we do this really neat, your chassis control work at the
18:24
break level, the traction control level, we integrate with
18:26
our total stability control system and make sure that the
18:28
driver has a lot of confidence, but also has everything they
18:31
need to stay on the road. It's going to be it's a really
18:33
nice neat. Integrated package overall in
18:35
terms of software and control and it's totally seamless to the
18:38
driver. It'll be a game changer in terms
18:40
of safety. Yep.
18:48
So we talk power. You want to talk efficiency?
18:50
Yeah, absolutely. So you know, some people out
18:53
there say, it can't be done. I don't know who might say that,
18:56
but I've heard rumors Anna, so we just did it.
19:00
Yeah. We're going to post the whole
19:08
video unedited on YouTube and No jump Cuts.
19:13
Yeah, and this wasn't, you know, some Ultra Clean precise, test
19:18
track, simulation or something? Where we shut down a road.
19:21
Nope, this is real world, this is over Grapevine.
19:24
This is with traffic. This is true 500 miles.
19:27
We were loaded just under 82 K you know we didn't know special
19:30
Arrow treatments for came off the line.
19:32
Shook it down. Made it run, that's it.
19:35
Yeah, it was like No fast moves here, that would be clear.
19:38
It's not like, oh, what? What did, what tricks did they
19:40
pull, what? They actually a whole bunch of
19:42
Tricks we could have pulled? Yeah.
19:43
And then so, you know, like as Dan said, like no special Arrow
19:47
treat the oh and by the way we should mention.
19:49
There was no charging like we charge it.
19:51
Yeah we didn't stop to charge single single driver one shot.
19:53
Exactly. Yeah, good point.
19:55
So yeah so it's not like 500 Miles like with no load with
20:01
special arrow and special everything.
20:03
It's like fully loaded going from The Bay Area, we actually
20:07
have to like go but North to get, you know, actually add to
20:10
get to 500 Miles because you get l.a. do the barriers less than
20:14
that. Well, we were all the way to San
20:15
Diego here. So we that's what we stress on
20:17
the southern end and I mean you want to see on the video.
20:20
I mean yeah we have the proof of silly.
20:22
So It's only eight hours long. So yeah, Block Island.
20:30
Don't worry, brought lots of snacks.
20:32
Yeah. Yes.
20:37
Standard trip. Down the five up Grapevine,
20:42
through LA traffic construction. We got the bypass in the weigh
20:46
station, but running full 80, or just under 80 to full.
20:50
Deliveries nothing to hide. Yeah.
20:54
Yeah, real world. It's yeah, it's he did take one
20:57
restroom break for their, there is a required mandatory
21:01
30-minute break within the first eight hours of operation took a
21:03
small restroom break. That was it?
21:04
Yep. So, aerodynamic efficiency
21:16
obviously matters a lot and you can see it's shaped like a
21:18
bullet. It's really are Dynamic and that
21:21
helps a lot as we get less than 2 million kilowatt hours per
21:25
kilowatt hours of Mile. Yep.
21:27
So and that's the name of the game is efficiency there?
21:30
Yep. Yep.
21:31
So yeah. I mean it's really efficient in
21:34
every way and I mean that Teams on a lot of awesome work.
21:37
I mean, yes. We went to the wind tunnel with
21:40
this really cool model. Rolling Road, the whole nine
21:42
yards and pulled in a lot of learnings, at all our features
21:45
from the car side that you give us such great real-world
21:47
efficiency there and really want to make sure that the, the truck
21:51
and the trailer have to work together.
21:52
Yeah, this is a combination. This is not just the truck if
21:55
you optimize one you actually might disrupt the whole
21:57
combination. And so we spent a lot of time
21:59
both virtually but also in the wind tunnel to make this happen
22:03
and really some next-level engineering to have everything
22:06
they had There and you know, it means that we've got a really
22:09
efficient Truck. Yeah.
22:18
As I said it's easy to drive as a model 3 just like was
22:22
basically no training you can drive this you knows you have to
22:26
think bigger when you're driving it but it's not like it's not
22:29
hard drive it's really easy and we put the center it, put the
22:33
seen the center for Max visibility low flow, you can
22:35
stand up in the cabin. Yeah that's actually a really
22:38
big deal. I mean I mean you're tall guy.
22:40
You on like you're able to stand up just fine.
22:42
And nice thing is that if your truck driver and you're out
22:44
during the day and it's you know, it's cold, it's snowing.
22:47
He whatever you can get in. And this isn't a sleeper cab is
22:50
a day cab. You can still stand up and you
22:52
can, you shed your jacket, put on the wall?
22:54
All in the comfort, you can put your coveralls on wall in the
22:56
cab. So you have to go do a dirty
22:57
job. You can do that comfortably as
22:59
opposed to being out in the elements.
23:01
So that's, you know, that level of space is unheard of, we're
23:03
able to do that with some pretty Innovative packaging.
23:05
And on top of it there's plenty of cargo storage for drivers
23:08
need to bring any tools other equipment along not to mention
23:12
you know, we've got the plugins, the wireless charging everything
23:14
they need on the electronic side as well.
23:17
Yep. Yeah, so I've got efficiency and
23:27
every aspect of the vehicle. I've got one touch a suspension
23:30
dump so you can it's very easy to attach to the trailer.
23:33
It saves time and money. It's the fleet's more efficient,
23:35
the drivers home sooner. Yeah, I mean really we're trying
23:38
to extend the idea of this efficiency from not just while
23:41
you're on the road but into the yard as well this before.
23:43
And after the truck has done its job on the road because that
23:46
means that your drivers at the end of the day are spending less
23:50
time at the yard and they're getting home earlier and makes
23:53
their Lives easier. We got a light test, that's
23:55
easy, execute helps with compliance.
23:57
There's all these little things that the design team really
23:59
spent their time. You have researching, they did
24:01
ride-alongs. They studied, they did.
24:03
All this work is really cool to watch the, put them in.
24:05
I think they even took like a bunch of like the various cups
24:09
and put them in CAD and you'll see them like put them in
24:11
various cup holders, sizes, and places.
24:13
They'll like mock up a bag. They'll do all kinds of neat
24:15
stuff to understand how a driver Works throughout the day and it
24:19
means that they'll have a more efficient experience overall.
24:24
Yeah. I've seen to charge at a truck
24:33
like this quickly, you need high power chargers.
24:35
So we developed a megawatt class charger as it's capable of
24:39
charging unit megawatt to DC and its next-generation immersive
24:44
cooling. So it's liquid cooled.
24:46
So you don't need like a gigantic elephant trunk of a
24:48
cable, you can actually have a small small cable and that
24:51
cabled delivers a megawatt and get with 3x.
24:55
The current density. I mean, this is really cool
24:57
stuff. I mean, we took your actually
25:00
immersing the conductor in the coolant, this water-based
25:05
coolant that we have and we're done doing some really neat
25:08
isolation monitoring on the back end to ensure that it's safe and
25:11
delivering that it needs to. But it means that we can really
25:13
shove a lot of current have very, very small place.
25:16
So you know for those that have worked in charge their cars on a
25:18
V3 supercharger and that cables, nice and maneuverable, it's the
25:22
same thing here but now we're just shoving a megawatt through
25:25
it instead. So this is key for For high
25:28
power applications like semi. But you want to tell him he told
25:32
me to tell him. Yeah.
25:34
I mean it's going to be used for Savage truck to.
25:36
Yeah. So this is this is coming to our
25:42
superchargers next year. Yeah.
25:52
So the future transport officer requires a sustainable energy
25:55
infrastructure. So you got to have all aspects
25:58
of the energy question answered sustainable, power generation.
26:04
Then you've got to store the power and then you transfer the
26:06
power to the vehicle. So like the three pillars of a
26:09
sustainable energy future, a sustainable power generation
26:11
with solar and wind. I'm actually a fan of nuclear
26:14
which we should support, and, and geothermal and many others.
26:17
But things that are sustainable, long-term we But things like
26:21
wind and solar intimate and so you have to have the battery
26:23
pack to store the energy. So when the wind doesn't blow
26:25
and the sun doesn't shine, you still have energy and you can
26:28
also buffer the power. So you're not overloading the
26:30
grid with Spike loads. Yeah.
26:32
And our semi customers are actively deploying this today
26:34
and we're working with them so that they have the pathway to
26:37
get towards 100% sustainable future.
26:40
But we have all of this at our disposal, you know, commercial
26:42
solar and mega pack. And the mega pack is great
26:44
because not only can it do things like shaving or some of
26:47
the other energy modulation, but it also, So provides a form of
26:51
redundancy and backup. I mean if we're going to ask you
26:53
a fleet to take on these trucks and run them, they needed to
26:56
ensure they're gonna be able to charge them and keep their Fleet
26:59
running in the event of a power outage.
27:00
And that's one of things that we can do with the mega pack on
27:03
site as well. So, and first deliveries are now
27:11
yeah. So we're just like to thank
27:22
PepsiCo. They've been a great partner.
27:24
Hey guys. Okay, let's go.
27:31
So yeah. We completed our first two cargo
27:33
run with a very enormous amount of Frito-Lay's, which I'm sure
27:37
we have a lot of them here. Yeah.
27:52
And yesterday we were actually able to complete our first
27:56
delivery compliments of Frito-Lay.
27:58
We took a truck down to their Modesto Factory from here and
28:01
one of their drivers we delivered the truck.
28:03
They took it over and they brought back a load of snacks
28:06
for everybody here to enjoy tonight.
28:11
Yep. So big thanks to Kirk and Even.
28:16
Yeah, as weird as I say anything.
28:19
All right, look, nothing like this happens without amazing
28:23
people. And so I just want to thank the
28:25
people that spent countless hours to make this a reality.
28:29
That's it. But people, That's it.
28:34
I just want to Echo. I know a lot of work went into
28:36
it and this is fantastic. We're about to deliver today.
28:39
So thank you. Yeah, thanks for letting us be a
28:41
part of this. Thank you so much.
28:43
Appreciate you. Thank you, Dan.
28:50
All right. Alright, so thank you all.
28:57
Thank you all for coming. It's been a long fight, long
28:59
journey along for five years, but this is going to really
29:02
revolutionize, the roads and I think make the world a better
29:05
place and in a meaningful way. So thank you for your support
