The mother of all freight haulers is here and it’s all-electric! Faster and cheaper to operate than any diesel rigs available, the Tesla Semi Truck has four electric motors, pushing it from 0-60mph in just 5 seconds without cargo, while fully loaded (to 80,000 pounds), the truck reaches the same speed in a mere 20 seconds.
In pure Tesla fashion, safety was also addressed, so the new truck features armored glass to protect the driver from flying hazards. The cabin has a central seat with two screens displaying such key information as vehicle diagnostics, navigation, and live-camera feeds, while an advanced autopilot system offers emergency braking, lane detection, and lane departure warnings.
The range is 500 miles per charge, and in just 30 minutes, you get 400 miles worth of juice, via special megachargers that are planned to arrive sometime in the close future. This super truck is expected to enter production by 2019, with available reservations costing $5,000.
