SEMI is BACK new and improved on Jay Leno’s Garage. This time with several features adopted from CyberTruck!

48 V architecture (thanks @jahansolu), electric steering (not steer by wire but steering components), batteries, stater, inverters, and more lifted from CT.

New factory in Sparks expected to have 50,000 annual capacity.

It uses 48v architecture - this is great news as this means the CT is not simply a one-off. It gives me confidence knowing there will be more support moving forward. Cybercab next?

@dalton108 - Tesla discussed the brake system at (39:26). The Tesla Semi uses pneumatically actuated air brakes (standard air friction brakes) for the trailer interface, but they are electronically controlled via a brake-by-wire system (39:34) - Like the new Model Y. This means the driver commands valves to move electronically rather than through a direct mechanical link to the brake pedal, allowing for higher precision (39:46).

Also, thanks for the 48v credit.
