Tesla Semi - The safest, and most comfortable truck ever made

​The Tesla Semi is the safest, most comfortable truck ever. Four independent motors provide maximum power and acceleration and require the lowest energy cost per mile.

The sexiest semi I’ve ever seen, without a doubt!

I would order one now to create a motor home

Pros:

Range and power

Cons:

Slightly longer wheel base option

I don't see how this was a "launch" event. Both products are years away. Given Tesla's history of overpromising and underdelivering I am highly skeptical regarding the specs and the availability date. Taking into account a) the investments needed to make these products happen and b) the more and more challenging financial situation of the company - I wouldn't bet on Semi or Roadster ever hitting the road.

@betonauspappe In fact it was called "Tesla Semi Unveil". And how exactly Tesla underdelivered any of its product?
Gregor Nobis
@alessandro_schiassi I was referring to PH calling it launch, I guess I didn’t make that clear. Examples for underdelivering in the past: product launches way behind the initial schedules, the solar roof tiles (sales so far: 0), quality and production issues with Model 3, self driving capabilities.

Does anybody know where I can watch the full announcement event?

But still not absolute price, right? What does this thing cost? If a typical semi-truck costs about $100K - $150K and Tesla claims it saves $200K per year on fuel costs and your payback is 2 years, is the price tag $400,000?

Sorry, I misread, I thought you were talking about the Roadster.
Alessandro Schiassi
Turned out I was right! From $180k to $200k: https://electrek.co/2017/11/22/t...

With that kind of acceleration, I hope they secure those loads.
