Tesla just unveiled 2 electric semi trucks and a new high performance Roadster.

Analyst Tasha Keeney gives her thoughts and commentary on the event and what this means for Tesla and the industry as a whole.

The electric trucks will do zero to 100 kilometres an hour, or 60 miles an hour in five seconds , versus 15 seconds for the average truck.

The new Tesla Roadster can do zero to 60 in 1.9 seconds in under 2 seconds .

It's actually the grip on the tires and the management of getting the power down from the motors to the actual wheels that will be the main bottlenecks in this vehicle.

If the company can get this into production by 2020 as planned, the world has no choice but to realise that they're looking at the future.

It would be a lot easier to sit and criticize Tesla for missing deadlines, but I think it's worth appreciating the magnitude of what the company is actually trying to do within the auto industry.

It's not easy for such a small and brand new company, so hopefully the production issues get sorted out and the rest flows smoothly.
