Tesla heavy line prototype gets spotted on test in California

The images were provided by Jerome Mends-Cole, owner of a car rental company called SacTesla and were posted on the Electrek site. The photos show that the truck is smaller than the images suggested, which has a small luggage compartment at the front, the size of Model 3, that the doors open suicide behind the front wheels and that the driving position is central with two large screens surrounding the driver. The Tesla Semi is behind schedule, as announced by Elon Musk and should only go into production at the end of 2020, that is, one year later than expected. Lack of enough batteries for orders is the reason pointed out by Musk and has left some of the customers who have already formalized orders, such as Walmart, UPS and FedEx. Tesla complains to the Semi for a maximum range of 804 km with a single load and freeway speeds, being able to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in just 5 seconds, without galley, or in 20 seconds with the galley loaded with 40 tons in weight. Prices in the US range from $ 150,000 for the 482km version and $ 180,000 for the 804km version. José Manuel Costa, direto de Portugal
