Elon Musk Reveals the Dream Truck: Tesla Semi.
The Tesla Semi was unveiled in November 2017, and production began in October 2022. The first deliveries were made to PepsiCo in December 2022.
The Tesla Semi has a number of advantages over diesel semi-trucks. It is more efficient, produces zero emissions, and has lower operating costs. It is also more powerful and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 20 seconds, even when fully loaded.
The Tesla Semi is still a relatively new vehicle, but it has the potential to revolutionize the trucking industry. It is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than diesel semi-trucks, and it offers a number of performance advantages.
“We believe the Tesla semi will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo, while increasing safety…” ~Elon Musk
