  Hello everybody and welcome back to the Elon Musk pod.
• 2:21
  My name is Will Walden. I'm your host.
• 2:22
  And on this episode we're going to be talking about some Tesla
• 2:27
  truck action that's going on. Okay?
• 2:30
  So we all have heard about the Tesla truck, right?
• 2:33
  If you're a fan of Tesla, they have the regular model cars.
• 2:37
  They have a Sportster have the SUV but they're also going to be
• 2:41
  making a cyberpunk looking. NG pickup truck.
• 2:47
  That's what Elon Musk said. He said it's going to look
• 2:49
  cyberpunk. It's one of the coolest things
• 2:51
  he's ever seen and it's going to blow the competition out of the
• 2:57
  water, okay? They've been keeping it under
• 3:01
  wraps, right? Unofficial, you know, the Tesla
• 3:04
  Model B. That's what they've called it
• 3:06
  for a little while, just to kind of get it out there.
• 3:09
  But people have been very intrigued by this truck for a
• 3:12
  very long time because Eli, Ask his kind of hinted a few times.
• 3:18
  Hey this thing is going to be pretty powerful.
• 3:22
  And you know, it's going to be more powerful than your current
• 3:26
  truck. So if you have a regular Ford
• 3:28
  F-150, we have about was 11,000 pounds.
• 3:35
  Something like that, eleven thousand five hundred pounds or
• 3:36
  something 13200 pounds with a Ford F-150 2019 model 13,200
• 3:44
  pounds. Elon Musk says, The model, be
• 3:51
  the Tesla truck. The cyberpunk truck of the
• 3:54
  future will have 300,000 pounds of towing capacity, Rivi in,
• 4:05
  who's the competitor to mosques truck.
• 4:09
  The electric competitor Rivia 11,000 pounds, towing capacity.
• 4:16
  Holy cow. This is create 300,000 pounds on
• 4:24
  Market. Foolery another podcast, they
• 4:26
  said that you could put 20 T-Rexes out of carriage and
• 4:31
  pulled it with a Tesla pick up. This is the quote.
• 4:33
  This is the one that surprised me three hundred thousand pound
• 4:36
  towing capacity for comparison. This year's model of F-150 2019
• 4:41
  has a towing capacity with a special configuration of the
• 4:44
  truck of only thirteen thousand two hundred pounds, to put that
• 4:47
  into context as if everyone knows the size of A dinosaur a
• 4:51
  T-Rex. The Ford can haul about one
• 4:53
  T-Rex down the road. And that's what Mark Greer said,
• 4:57
  arm At Greer to put it in a more familiar context. 300,000 pounds
• 5:02
  is about the weight of four fully loaded semi trucks with
• 5:07
  trailers with a gross vehicle made of 80,000 pounds of peace.
• 5:14
  300,000 pounds with your truck. You don't ever need to do that
• 5:22
  for a regular truck. A regular F-150, you know, you
• 5:26
  might put a trail around it, you might haul some dirt bikes
• 5:28
  around. You might wholesome, you know,
• 5:30
  stuff back from the hardware store or get some wood.
• 5:34
  Some Lumber, whatever. You don't need that much power.
• 5:38
  But if you have 300,000 pounds, you can ho, you could hold.
• 5:41
  You could tow. Some other semis safe, a semi
• 5:47
  needs a tow down the road. You could literally pull over
• 5:51
  and go like. Hey, you need, what do you need
• 5:54
  to go? 10 miles.
• 5:55
  All right, cool hook it up, hook it up to the back of your truck
• 5:59
  to your Tesla. Amazing Tesla.
• 6:03
  Futuristic crazy, looking car, your truck and just tow down to
• 6:09
  the next service station. That would be pretty cool,
• 6:12
  right? You have 300,000 pounds.
• 6:15
  That's insane. So if you've ever wanted to know
• 6:20
  what this thing looks like, there's some Concepts artists
• 6:23
  out there. Nothing has been set in stone
• 6:27
  yet. They haven't released anything.
• 6:30
  That's like a legit. Hey, this this is what the Tesla
• 6:34
  truck is. No one's release that yet.
• 6:37
  So you know they're just renders right now.
• 6:41
  We don't know what it looks like.
• 6:43
  Things could change, you know, it's one of those, you know, if
• 6:46
  you if you get it out there now they could be working on a few
• 6:50
  things and it's not completely ready yet.
• 6:53
  So we don't know exactly what it looks like, but we have some
• 6:56
  ideas. And, you know, you can just
• 6:59
  check that out. Look for Tesla truck, Tesla pick
• 7:02
  up on Google. You'll find millions of friggin
• 7:05
  renders of these things. But from other vendors, if
• 7:08
  every, if any of these are right, it's pretty cool. so, my
• 7:14
  friends, if you're going to buy a Tesla pick up for work,
• 7:20
  remember that you can do anything on Earth, basically, if
• 7:24
  you have one of these things. So if you need a heavy hauler,
• 7:27
  there you go. Supposed to go about 500 miles
• 7:30
  to 500 miles on a full charge and that's just driving around,
• 7:34
  not hauling, you know, semi trucks or anything or T-Rexes,
• 7:38
  so it's pretty good mileage for a truck.
• 7:41
