For those who are not in the know
Tesla Semi was planned to be released on the market in 2019year, but for unknown reasons the announcement was postponed. The tractor boasts a range of 800 km, a drag coefficient lower than that of the Bugatti Chiron supercar (0.36 versus 0.38), autopilot, and four engines. They will accelerate the truck to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds. When fully loaded, this will increase to 20 seconds.
