    Great just what we need, semis gapping us at the light with a full trailer

    Has anyone done a welfare check on Bill Gates?

    Just in time for the diesel crisis. These bad boys will be flying off the lot cause Chump will rather be up Iran’s ahh for 20 years than take the L.

    Now imagine how much more energy efficient… if it doesn’t have a driver.

  5. @user-xg2vy3ri6r

    September 25, 2026 at 12:50 pm

    Funny how Gavin didn’t extend CA EV benefits only to Tesla despite the left’s rhetoric against fossil fuels. This shows you it’s nothing but a power play and politics by the DemocRATS.

    Too bad for the truckers losing their jobs, it’s already been hard for them

    Imagine someone caring more about this product then Optimus 🤣

  8. @billger5710

    September 25, 2026 at 2:02 pm

    Would live interviews with drivers who have been testing the semi

  9. @poopichalupi

    September 25, 2026 at 2:20 pm

    The Edison will (likely! be available first) be my first hybrid OTR rig (because it will likely! be available first), but the TESLA SEMI will be my first EV SEMI ❤❤❤❤ I can NOT wait 🎉

    How much did the Trucks battery charge from 0% in the 11 minute video, which is approximately the same time someone would stop to use the washroom, buy a pop and a bag of chips. How much would the battery charge in 11 minutes????

    • @NeilMcGee-b6c

      September 25, 2026 at 2:45 pm

      Missed opportunity

    • @CityPete

      September 25, 2026 at 3:23 pm

      They showed the live charging update about halfway through (6:01), which was at 27% and 35 min remaining on the charge at about 1.2 megawatts.

  13. @Allthatjazzandrazmatazz

    September 25, 2026 at 2:50 pm

    I don’t think adding the self driving feature to a semi truck is a good idea

  14. @HeyMavDak

    September 25, 2026 at 3:20 pm

    It’s not a coincidence that diesel prices are high in the US when autonomous semi-trucks are starting production.

  15. @jorgipogi

    September 25, 2026 at 3:24 pm

    I don’t hear anything revolutionary.

  16. @enginerunsable

    September 25, 2026 at 3:32 pm

    01:45 good god, what is wrong with this guy? Why would you need a sports car in truck form? What is his obsession with this crap? SAFETY is the biggest value you can bring; next is efficiency and cost per mile, and self-driving, too. This idiot is always stuck on acceleration and speed like a child. We don’t need semis able to do sports cars; they are dangerous enough.

  17. @Darant1no

    September 25, 2026 at 3:38 pm

    There are already many E-Trucks that are better than this ugly traktor.

  18. @LetsGo0o0oGuy

    “especially in these crazy times…” Leopard, meet face.

  19. @noleftturns

    September 25, 2026 at 5:04 pm

    Can we be honest here?
    The Tesla Semi is an Elon “Solution” desperately looking for a “Problem” to fix

    The Semi costs 70% more than a comparable diesel rig
    So any savings you might have with no oil changes are paid to Elon up front
    And you still have to pay for those EV tires that wear out in half the time and cost twice as much

    That’semi weighs 3,000 pounds more than the diesel rig
    That’s like carrying a Toyota Corolla on top of the cab every mile it drives

    Band of luck finding a megacharger in the middle of North Dakota
    And if you break down there, try finding a mechanic to work on the rig
    and a supply chain to next day the parts needed to fix it

    R.I.P. Tesla Semi

    This is just another Cybertruck fieasco in the making

    • @agenticone

      September 27, 2026 at 2:51 am

      if you aren’t trolling you are a total moron

  20. @118Columbus

    September 25, 2026 at 6:09 pm

    More BS to pump and dump TSLA stock then merge it with SPCX.

    Rug pull incoming.

  21. @im4udevco

    September 25, 2026 at 6:45 pm

    If only Elon Musk can decouple himself from politics…… But you have to give it to him and Tesla. I’m on my 2nd Tesla vehicle and can’t imagine myself driving any ICE vehicles anymore. This is what Americans need but on a mass scale

  22. @nasty360nate

    September 25, 2026 at 7:16 pm

    I like how they said its 500 real world tested miles

  23. @fritopie8701

    September 25, 2026 at 7:24 pm

    Brilliant just brilliant how convenient $ 7.00 gallon diesel . Autonomous trucks just in time . Time to bye 372.11 😂

  24. @GntlTch

    September 25, 2026 at 8:01 pm

    Yeah, quite a number of comments were right – nothing much new – and I wasted 11 minutes watching Dan and Franz regurgitating to the choir stuff we already knew. Nothing about the factory, production, production rates, supply lines or similar.

  25. @Jacky-cc1qc

    September 25, 2026 at 8:06 pm

    When will an FSD-capable Tesla motorcycle be available? I can’t wait to ride Route 66 on one!

  26. @shanet7511

    September 25, 2026 at 11:15 pm

    Idk the range estimates on my 2023 Model Y long range are quite wishful thinking

  27. @franand

    Almost feels like this Diesel Crisis was by design

  28. @MEENDA_VVS

    September 26, 2026 at 2:28 am

    we don’t like Elon musk nor stand with anything that he does

  29. @tisztakossz

    Elon Musk😍🥰🥰

  30. @Josh_benz

    that truck in red or blue my goodness !

  31. @lefikamoalosi

    September 26, 2026 at 11:06 am

    A Tesla keynote done without Musk is such a breathe of fresh air. No constant stutters, no overpromising, just straight information and chill vibes.

  32. @abhishek_de

    September 26, 2026 at 1:41 pm

    Do you trust the promise Tesla and Elon makes?
    That’s the million dollar question.

    • @KingXKok

      September 27, 2026 at 6:15 am

      @abhishek_de well this is announcing start of production so should be real. Not announcing a new product

  33. @Chevifier

    September 26, 2026 at 1:46 pm

    Buy one convert it to a mini home on wheels, shave the top down to the top of the glass😂

  34. @No_Way_Jose07

    September 26, 2026 at 6:40 pm

    I wouldn’t be caught driving this. I’d rather drive my freightliner

    • @TheReal_JG

      September 27, 2026 at 9:08 am

      Don’t knock it till you try it.

  35. @BlairSlavin

    September 26, 2026 at 8:36 pm

    So Elon’s in Washington to undermine America again? Obviously he didn’t learn from the first time. Note my next Tesla will be a Rivian

  36. @JackGundam-d4y

    September 26, 2026 at 10:57 pm

    Thank you for saving lives Elon! ❤️🙏 I’m so sorry people have no idea what’s going on, they just honk their horns and get so impatient when they’re passing the corpses of men women and babies…

  37. @DougGreen-q8n

    September 27, 2026 at 3:33 am

    I think that this was all a plot to move his worthless product forward..

  38. @dougkiphut1362

    September 27, 2026 at 11:44 am

    Why TF is it so dark? Hiding the gremlins in plain sight, or what?

  39. @DominequeTaylor

    September 27, 2026 at 2:31 pm

    About the sleeper though

  40. @jordansage9655

    September 27, 2026 at 5:20 pm

    Dan Priestly is brilliant. Congratulations to the entire Semi team!

    I can’t wait until they roll it out again next decade
