Tesla's Electric Semi yuav luag ntawm no, tab sis Elon Musk tsis tau qhia qee cov ntsiab lus hnyav

Hyperbole thiab cov lus cog tseg loj yuav tsum tau xav txog thaum Elon Musk txhawb nqa cov khoom tshiab thiab raws li nws cov lus piav qhia ntawm Tesla Semi sai sai, tus neeg ua lag luam billionaire paub tseeb tias nws tuaj yeem cuam tshuam kev lag luam tsheb thauj khoom hnyav. Tab sis thaum nws hais txog lub tshuab hluav taws xob loj loj qhov kev tsav tsheb ntev, lwm cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb heev rau cov tuam txhab tsheb thauj khoom tsis paub: Semi hnyav li cas (tsis muaj khoom thauj) thiab nws tuaj yeem nqa tib lub tsheb thauj khoom zoo li cov tsheb thauj khoom sib nrug?

Musk npaj siab xa tus kheej xa cov roj teeb thawj zaug Semis rau Pepsi thaum Lub Kaum Ob Hlis 1, nws tau hais thaum lub sijhawm Tesla cov nyiaj tau los peb lub hlis twg hu rau lub hlis no. Kev tsim cov tsheb yuav nce mus thoob plaws xyoo 2023, thiab yog tias txhua yam ua tau zoo, lub tuam txhab Austin tuaj yeem muab 50,000 units ib xyoos rau cov neeg siv khoom North American los ntawm 2024, nws hais rau cov kws tshuaj ntsuam thiab cov tub ua lag luam.

Musk tau hais tias "tsis muaj kev txi rau lub peev xwm thauj khoom, 500-mais ntau" ib tus nqi, Musk tau hais. "Cia li kom meej, 500 mais nrog cov khoom thauj ... ntawm theem av. Tsis nce. Lub ntsiab lus yog nws yog lub tsheb ntev ntev thiab txawm tias nrog cov khoom hnyav. "

Nws suab zoo, tab sis tsib lub lis piam ua ntej kev xa khoom thawj zaug qhov tsis muaj cov ntaub ntawv tshaj tawm txog lub tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob lub peev xwm thauj khoom thiab qhov hnyav - uas tsis tuaj yeem tshaj 82,000 phaus raws li Teb Chaws Asmeskas txoj cai - tuaj yeem ua rau cov neeg tsav nkoj loj nres ua ntej muab xaj. Ib daim duab ntawm Tesla's Semi ntawm nws lub vev xaib qhia tau hais tias lub tsheb uas hnyav 82,000 phaus, suav nrog nws cov load, tsis qhia seb nws puas yog 500-mais version Musk tau hais los yog sib dua 300-mais Semi. Tesla tsis teb rau qhov kev thov kom meej.

"Ua ntej ib tug neeg kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus yuav, lawv yuav hais tias, 'lub hauv paus lub tsheb hnyav npaum li cas?" said Chuck Price, uas lub tuam txhab AI Kinetics muab kev pab tswv yim rau cov tuam txhab logistics. "Qhov ntawd yog qhov loj heev."

"Ua ntej ib tug neeg kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus yuav khoom, lawv yuav hais tias, 'lub hauv paus hnyav npaum li cas?"

Cov tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob, txawm tias siv los ntawm cov roj teeb lossis hydrogen, tuav cov lus cog tseg zoo rau kev txo cov kav dej thiab cov pa roj carbon monoxide, tab sis lawv tseem kim dua li cov qauv diesel. Tesla tsis muab cov ncauj lus kom ntxaws txog tus nqi rau Semi, tab sis cov kws tshuaj ntsuam xyuas kev lag luam cia siab tias nws yuav ntau dua ob npaug ntawm tus nqi ntawm cov khoom lag luam nrov xws li Freightliner's Cascadia, uas mus txog $ 160,000. Lub ntiaj teb kev ua tau zoo ntawm cov tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob hauv kev thauj khoom hnyav ib hnub nyob rau hauv thiab nruab hnub tawm mus ntev, lawv lub roj teeb loj ntev npaum li cas thiab lub sijhawm tiag tiag thiab tus nqi uas yuav tsum tau ua kom lawv muaj zog yog cov lus nug tsis teb li Tesla, Daimler, Volvo, pib ua haujlwm. Nikola thiab lwm lub tuam txhab pib dov lawv tawm mus rau cov neeg siv khoom nkoj.

Musk qhov kev siv rau nws lub tsheb thauj khoom "muaj peev xwm," piv txwv li, tsis muaj txiaj ntsig tshwj xeeb vim nws yog lub ntsiab lus kev lag luam hais txog ntim, ntsuas hauv square feet lossis meters, tsis yog qhov hnyav. Yog li rau Pepsi, cov tsheb thauj khoom nws tau txais yuav tsis muaj teeb meem thauj cov qos yaj ywm chips los ntawm nws chav Frito-Lay tab sis yuav tsis tuaj yeem nqa tag nrho cov hnyav hnyav Pepsi dej qab zib.

Glen Kedzie, tus lwm thawj coj thiab ib puag ncig thiab tus kws pab tswv yim lub zog rau American Trucking Associations hais tias "Nws yog qhov ntse dua rau kev thauj cov qos yaj ywm chips," hais tias. Nrog rau cov khoom siv teeb pom kev zoo li no, "koj yuav tau txais lub roj teeb ntev dua," nws taw qhia, thiab koj tuaj yeem nqa cov khoom lag luam tib yam li lub tsheb diesel. Maximizing roj teeb lub neej yuav yog ib qho tseem ceeb, muab hais tias Tesla Semi tus nqi tag yuav yog $400,000, nws hais.

Musk lub tsheb tuaj txog tsib xyoos tom qab nws unveiling lub Kaum Ib Hlis 2017, thiab peb xyoos tom qab thawj lub hom phiaj kom tau txais nws ntawm txoj kev los ntawm 2019. Tesla nthuav tawm nws qhov nrawm nrawm, mus ntawm 0 txog 60 mais ib teev hauv 20 vib nas this (Musk hais tias nws tsuas yog tsib vib nas this thaum nws thawj zaug pom nws tawm) , tab sis ceev tsis muaj teeb meem rau cov neeg tsav nkoj ntau npaum li lub peev xwm them thiab tus nqi-ib mais los ua haujlwm.

Cov tuam txhab tsheb thauj khoom yuav xav tau kev tawm tswv yim ntau dua li cas lawv siv cov tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob vim tias lawv hnyav heev. Qhov tseeb, hluav taws xob loj rigs yuav zoo li tshaj 5,200 phaus hnyav dua li cov tsheb thauj khoom, raws li kev tshawb fawb los ntawm University of California, Davis.

Qhov ntawd yog qhov teeb meem vim yog tsoomfwv qhov hnyav txwv, uas yog tsim los tiv thaiv txoj kev. Tsoom fwv txoj cai txwv qhov hnyav tag nrho ntawm cov tsheb thauj khoom diesel thiab lawv cov khoom thauj tsis pub ntau tshaj 80,000 phaus kom tsis txhob muaj kev puas tsuaj rau txoj kev loj thiab cov choj. Roj teeb-, hydrogen- thiab cov roj hluav taws xob siv hluav taws xob tau txais kev zam ntxiv 2,000-phaus hnyav ntxiv los txhawb kev siv cov tsheb huv, tab sis qhov ntawd tsis txaus rau Tesla Semi. Hluav taws xob cov rigs loj tsuas tsis tuaj yeem nqa ntau cov khoom thauj thiab nyob hauv tsoomfwv txoj kev txwv.

Kedzie tau hais tias "Yuav muaj kev suav ntau ntxiv los txiav txim seb yam khoom yuav tsum tau thauj mus li cas thiab hom lub zog hluav taws xob yuav tsum tau siv los ua kom muaj txiaj ntsig zoo," Kedzie tau hais.

Cov neeg tsim khoom ntawm cov tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob, suav nrog Nikola, tab tom tos txais kev txwv hnyav dua rau lawv lub tsheb tab sis muaj kev txhawj xeeb uas tuaj yeem ua rau txoj kev puas tsuaj. "Peb tej zaum yuav pom ntau qhov chaw" yog tias cov cai hnyav ntxiv tau yooj yim dua, hais tias Nqe, uas yav dhau los ua haujlwm rau cov tsheb thauj khoom tech pib suav nrog TuSimple thiab Peloton Technologies

Khaws cov nkoj loj loj ntawm cov tsheb thauj khoom hluav taws xob loj tuaj yeem ua rau muaj kev sib tw rau cov tuam txhab tsheb thauj khoom. Yam tsawg kawg, cov sij hawm xav tau los them rov qab rau lawv txhais tau tias cov neeg tsav tsheb yuav nyob twj ywm rau lub sijhawm ntev dua yog tias lawv tau txais diesel ntawm lub tsheb nres. Thiab txawm tias tau txais cov khoom siv them nyiaj uas lawv xav tau kuj tseem yuav mob taub hau, hais tias Brian Daugherty, tus thawj coj thev naus laus zis rau Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association.

Rau cov nkoj uas xav txog cov tsheb thauj khoom siv roj teeb, "qhov kev txiav txim siab thawj zaug yog qhov muaj thiab tus nqi ntawm lub zog, thiab tom qab ntawd lub sijhawm ntawm lub sijhawm uas koj cov khoom siv tuaj yeem ua raws li koj qhov kev thov," Daugherty tau hais. Raws li kev sib tham nrog cov khoom siv hluav taws xob, nws tuaj yeem siv sijhawm txog 18 lub hlis kom tau txais 3 megawatts lossis ntau lub zog ntxiv uas xav tau los ua haujlwm hnyav hnyav ntawm lub tsheb thauj khoom, nws hais. "Nws yog ib qho kev seev cev heev."

"Koj tsis xav kom muaj ib pawg ntawm cov tsheb thauj khoom tshwm sim, xav tias koj yuav tau txais lub zog hluav taws xob tam sim ntawd tab sis tom qab ntawd paub tias nws yog 18 lub hlis tam sim ntawd," Daugherty tau hais. “Qhov ntawd yuav yog kev ntxhov siab. Kuv xav tias peb yuav muaj kev ntxhov siab ntau li ntawd. "

Musk kuj tau thov Tesla tuaj yeem xa khoom ntau txog 50,000 hluav taws xob Semis rau North American cov neeg siv khoom hauv xyoo 2024, ib lub ntim uas yuav ua rau lub hom phiaj yog ib qho ntawm cov khoom lag luam saum toj kawg nkaus hauv cheeb tsam tsawg tshaj li ib xyoos ntawm nws thawj cov khoom xa tuaj. Tsuas yog cov neeg tsim tsheb thauj khoom Freightliner thiab Paccar tam sim no xa ntau lub tsheb loj hauv North America. Tab sis muab qhov hnyav thiab them cov teeb meem thiab tsis paub txog kev ua tau zoo ntawm lub ntiaj teb ntawm cov roj teeb tsheb, uas tej zaum yuav tsis muaj tseeb.

Lub caij no, cov tsheb thauj khoom thauj yuav ntsuas txhua yam ntawm kev siv lawv: cov nqi hluav taws xob; txaus siab tsav tsheb; cov ntaub ntawv kev nyab xeeb; cov ntaub ntawv kho mob; ntau yam; thiab them sijhawm, hais tias Kedzie.

Nws tau hais tias "Peb yuav pib txheeb xyuas cov ntaub ntawv los saib seb peb cov lej sib txuas nrog cov lej Tesla lossis lwm lub chaw tsim khoom tau tso tawm rau ntawd," nws hais. "Qhov no yog kev lag luam txawj ntse heev thiab lawv yuav los nrog cov lej no - thiab tsis txhob ntshai los hais txog qhov txiaj ntsig zoo li cas."
