Tesla Truck?

[q1wer4ty]

Why can't we have a truck that is fully electric? I would be a nice to have an truck like that because of the way that is uses the battery.

Talking about the battery, it is mandatory to have a charging stations at outside the garage or the same place as a normal Gas station.

It would be a new experience for old and new players in the game. They / We look forward to hearing how the engine sounds like since it would be the first time that we have a fully electric Truck.

My ideas are:
-Big GPS screen
-Digital Mirrors
-Auto drive system (but only for 10 - 20 mins can be set by the player) but the cost of that is minus 20% - %10 of the reward for the job that you took.
-hydraulic suspension?

pls?

God no. If you want something like that, you should rather suggest a Hyundai XCient Fuel Cell. That would be more likely to be added.

Although that is, I assume an Asian Truck, so a non starter. Same problem of course for Tesla, wrong continent

It's sold in Europe and Asia actually. And Europe actually is already getting some tho only Switzerland.

But FreitghtLiner Cascadia and MACK Anthem are available in Australia too.
Proof?
Check Them in Freightliner Cascadia in Australia[www.freightliner.com.au],
MACK Anthem in Australia[www.macktrucks.com.au] they are not Only in North America.

I was just pointing out that the electric Cascadia was entering production in USA. I don't know about the electric in Australia. Several European manufacturers seem to also be near production.

Actually here in my country Norway we dont have electric trucks, only buses are eletric here. Most of the trucks are on biofriendly diesel, that means most european trucks dont spit out toxic smoke anymore. I would actually go so far too say electric is worser, since producing the batterys is so damaging for the envoirment.

this is a great idea, cause they are eco friendly plus does not tire the driver as much as the other truck because the got auto drive.

There is ZERO relationship between a truck being electric and that truck operating autonomously. Where do you get that wrong idea?

I think where sold does not count, just where manufactured.

I think you misunderstood what @Sandhill meant? (But I can be wrong)
All trucks in ETS2 are European Brands.
The trucks in ATS are American Brands - Tesla will belong there if one day it were to be added to one of the 2 games.
Hyundai would belong in the Asian truck simulator if such a game existed.

Not quite. In ATS there is Volvo and Volvo isn't American. Atleast not to my knowledge.

It is true that Volvo is Swedish, and thus a European brand.
But the Volvo found in ATS is a model that Volvo has developed specifically for the American market and the American road network.
- I doubt that model drives irl on European roads, and that is probably also the reason why we do not have it here in ETS2.

Because the Tesla truck is Musk vapourware, and is not a commercial proposition.
Even if it was real, would you like to negotiate a licence for it with Tesla?

That would be the easy part I would bet Tesla would love to have their truck used in the game. The hard part would be adding charging stations. And it would only be good for short jobs and or light freight.

At current time only in Switzerland. Tho if the European government wasn't so stupid and would actually invest in improvement of hydrogen infrastructure, we could see them in more parts of Europe. But we still have the normal XCient, don't we. Hopefully that gets added at some point. Would be nice to have some newcomer in the game.

The Volvo in ATS is 100% manufactured in USA
I retract my previous statement RE the Hundai, as according to Wikipedia it is a Euro Truck, as Wikipedia lists production facilities in
Production Jeonju, South Korea (Hyundai Motors Jeonju)[1]
Ziyang, China (Sichuan Hyundai)[2][3]
Kaliningrad, Russia (Avtotor)[4]
Santa Rosa, Laguna, Philippines (HARI)
so the Kaliningrad facility would indeed quailfy it.

400 KM range with no load or 18 tons (pretty light). Under 50 used in Europe I believe, and a rigid design (of which none are present in the game so that would be a first).

Does the Kaliningrad connection hold if what Hyundai produces there is only 3 kinds of box-truck?

The normal XCient definitely has a fifth-wheel upfit but I'm not quite sure about the Fuel Cell version.
