   It showcased the two different , Tesla Semi configurations with the previously spied Class 8 aerodynamics prototype and a new never seen lower roof version.

Musk then went into the Truck's performance which he described as "BAMF" which stands for "bad ass mother f**ker". the truck achieved a drag coefficient of 0.36, which is unprecedented for a truck and even beats several modern passenger cars.

He confirmed that it is equipped with 4 independent electric motors on real axles-enabling insane torque for a 0 to 60 mph acceleration with a full load in 20 Seconds.

The powertrain also enables another interesting performance spec: a speed of 65 mph going up a 5% grade. That's about 50% faster than your average truck, which is good for both for reduce the travel time and traffic.

Musk announced two different battery pack configurations for 300 and 500 miles of range on a single charge. while a 300-mile range was within our expectations, a 500-mile range is definitely something else and should easily enable long-distance routes with full load.

Musk also briefly mentions some Semi-Autonomous driving capacity - through he made sure not to mention anything about the possibility of fully self-driving capacity, which would be sure to upset a lot of truck drivers.The Semi truck will come standard with "Enhanced Autopilot Features" and that will be able to create Semi-automated convoys.

But the best user-generated 360° photos and videos. such as the virtual Forest-deepen the viewers appreciation of a place or an event.




Kodak PixPro SP360°  -: 

It can be mounted  on a drone to produce aerial 360` videos.
