The Silpo chain of stores asked Elon Musk for Tesla Semi electric trucks

Recently, Russia has begun to attack oil depots in Ukraine more often in order to provoke a shortage of fuel. This, in turn, can lead to delivery problems. To avoid this, the Silpo chain of stores asked Elon Musk for Tesla Semi electric trucks. Unfortunately, Tesla's CEO has not yet responded to the request.

Recall that Tesla Semi was shown in November 2017. The truck was planned to be launched on the market in 2019, but in the end the announcement was postponed. There is no new date yet, but they say that the tractor will be released this year. It will be able to boast not only a large power reserve, but alsodrag coefficient of 0.36, autopilot, as well as four engines. They will accelerate the tractor to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds. When fully loaded, the indicator will increase to 20 seconds.

By the way, at the beginning of the war Elon Musk supported Ukraine and announced the launch of Starlink satellite Internet by providing satellite internet Starlink. It even helped Thanks, Elon Musk: Vodafone restored connection in Irpen and Romanovka using Starlink
