Twitter Tesla blogger @teslacarsonly today tweeted a video, which shows an unidentified Tesla Semi delivering Tesla cars to Tesla centers.
In other words, Tesla is already using its Tesla Semi trucks, to deliver Tesla vehicles to its service centers, plainly to say, to its dealerships. Although Tesla doesn't have dealerships. They are called Service Centers. It's so beautiful to see Tesla Semi trucks delivering Tesla.
When I see this short video of a Tesla Semi electric truck delivering Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles to its service centers, I am thinking Tesla is building the machine that makes the machine and the machine that delivers the machine.
I think the Tesla Semi is going to disrupt the entire trucking industry.
Now, seeing this, I am thinking further. When do you think completed Tesla cars autonomously drive off the assembly line, into a trailer, with a Tesla Semi autonomously delivering them to a destination and the cars autonomously drive off and drive to a Tesla buyer's driveway without a single human in the loop?
The Vision of Full Autonomy
While the current video depicts the Tesla Semi being operated by a human driver, it prompts us to consider the future potential of full autonomy. Elon Musk has repeatedly expressed his ambition for fully autonomous vehicles. As Tesla continues to refine and develop its Autopilot technology, it seems increasingly plausible that a day will come when completed Tesla cars drive themselves off the assembly line, onto a waiting Tesla Semi trailer, and autonomously travel to their destinations.
Remember, Tesla is a vertically integrated company that controls the entire production process, from vehicle design to parts manufacturing to vehicle assembly to vehicle sales and distribution. This gives Tesla a great deal of control over the quality and cost of producing its products.
I think Tesla is quickly becoming America's sweetheart. Especially, the Tesla Semi is going to contribute greatly to that, once Tesla starts building more than 10,000 semi trucks per year. Next year, and the following, Tesla plans to build 50,000 semi trucks. Or, at least that's what Tesla says.
This Tesla Semi video, shared by @teslacarsonly showcases Tesla's remarkable progress and forward-thinking approach. The Tesla Semi's deployment for delivering Tesla vehicles to service centers not only exhibits the elegance of their products working in harmony but also sets the stage for the future of autonomous delivery.
As Tesla continues to push the boundaries of what is possible, we can't help but wonder when the day will come when completed Tesla cars autonomously travel from factory to driveway, solidifying Tesla's position as a pioneer in the electric vehicle industry. The future is bright, and with each passing day, Tesla brings us one step closer to a world where machines seamlessly interact with one another, transforming the way we think about transportation.
