Tesla reveals semi-truck and new sports car
" Tesla revealed an all-new version of its Roadster sports car that can
go from a stop to 60 miles an hour in 1.9 seconds, a figure that would
make it the fastest-accelerating production car ever. That was after
Tesla unveiled its new semi-truck, which CEO Elon Musk said can go
zero-to-60 in five seconds with an empty trailer. That's a figure
usually associated with luxury sedans, not big trucks.

With a full load, the truck can still reach that speed in 20 seconds,
according to Musk, much faster than any diesel-powered truck. Only after
talking about the truck's speed did Musk mention its range. It can go up
to 500 miles with a full load at highway speeds, he said."

Times are a changing .. As example, Tesla is installing charging
stations across Canada on their own dime. Each Tesla will also have
onboard GPS linked map to the closest charging station which use higher
voltage dedicated charging stations to speed up charging times for Tesla
vehicles. Last I heard was charging a Tesla car would take approx.
30min's at one of these charging stations. I also heard that charging up
at one of these charging stations may be free to the Tesla driver, but I
am not sure about this.
