ABOUT JAY LENO’S GARAGE
A new video every Monday! Visit Jay Leno’s Garage, the Emmy-winning series where Jay Leno gives car reviews, motorcycle reviews, compares cars, and shares his passion and expertise on anything that rolls, explodes, and makes noise. Classic cars, restomods, super cars like the McLaren P1, sports cars like Porsche 918 Spyder and Camaro Z28, cafe racers, vintage cars, and much, much more.
Jay has a special talent to ask insightful and well thought questions and the guys are just as talented at avoiding to answer those questions!
Well, those boys didn’t want to piss off Elon. He will block you from Twtt… um… X in one of his hissy fits.
Plus, Jay knows when someone is beating around the bush. He just let’s them. He understands their plight. Good man.
If you think about it, this truck is kind of like a giant race car. It has a center seating position, it handles like a sports car, it’s sleek and aerodynamic like a bullet, and it has crazy acceleration such as a 5 second 0-60.
People are going to buy these and turn them into God knows what I bet.
Yup, in other words a really stupid design for a long haul truck. Also love how they have a fire extinguisher in the door – if that thing catches fire, run like hell, don’t try to put it out for gods sake!
yeah….they’ll be racing these rigs in no time! lol
@Don MacQuarrie
Like those drag racing pulls! 😆 🤣
If you want to get people on board let Jay drive your rig.
Jay is well rounded in his association with vehicles. I think it’s interesting that with his collection he knows the nuances of both the old and the new.
What a great opportunity for Jay and his viewers.
Just awesome! Love the way Jay takes no sides with the EV vs ICE debates, he rates them as he finds them. Just like EV cars are causing market disruption so now Semi’s will be. Sure the initial investment is more but the ROI is quicker too. Epic move Tesla and Jay.
I like seeing other people from Tesla giving the tours of the vehicles. Share the spotlight.
thanks for giving us the best content Jay!! it’s always great to see your tesla interviews. great work!!
Jay ask all the best questions. I drove a truck for a while and I am amazed at the questions he thinks about asking.
And the way the guy fails to answer them is amazing
@Lexy Stout only the questions he’s not allowed to answer or can’t answer, because the truck specs are still changing prior to factory completion and volume production.
Jay is a motorhead’s motorheaed!
Do you know what is the range when the truck is LOADED (I repeat LOADED) and what is the weight of the LOAD ? Furthermore, how fast will it charge (what current, what voltage) and what is the battery capacity ?
I appreciate that Franz really let Dan explain the Semi truck design and operations, as he specializes in the trucking industry of course. That says a lot about them both.
He’s not a “trucking industry expert” .. If he was the product he built would be accepted and used by the industry. No one in the industry .. the real experts.. are buying the Tesla trucks.
Sure does; very impressive to let others speak about stuff they know about…very impressive.
Great job Jay!
I knew Franz was a genius but Priestley is really on top of his game
Stay in the lane Jay 🙂 Great video as always. Happy to start seeing some Tesla trucks on the road.
