One Of The Most Anticipated New Vehicles From Tesla, The Electric Car Maker, Is Coming Off The Production Line. Elon Musk, The Brand’s Head, Confirmed On Twitter That The Company Has Started Production Of Its Electric Semi, With The First Deliveries Expected In December. PepsiCo Will Be The First Company To Obtain The Electric Semi.

The Soft Drink Manufacturer Ordered 100 Trucks In 2017 From The Electric Car Maker As Part Of Its Plan To Reduce Emissions And Fuel Costs, According To Reuters. The Truck Is Expected To Cost 180,000 Rupees (US$ 285,800), Though It Is Eligible For A 40,000 Rupee (US$ 63,500) Subsidy, The Report Stated.

New Truck From The Electric Car Manufacturer Promises A Range Of 800 Km

Musk Claims That The Semi Has A Range Of About 800 Kilometers With A Full Load And Is “Super Fun To Drive.” Twitter Users Were Quick To Point Out That The Vehicle Lacks Range Compared To Conventional Diesel Trucks. “That’s Half The Range Of A Common 18-Wheel Diesel Vehicle. Where Is Your Supercharger Station? How Long Does It Take To Charge? How Much Does It Cost? Do The Math. Is It Efficient?” Wrote One User.

Discover The Features Of The Electric Car Manufacturer’s Truck

Unveiled For The First Time In 2016, The Sleek-Looking Truck From The Electric Car Maker Was Shown In Concept Form The Following Year, But In True Tesla Style, The Vehicle Suffered Numerous Delays. When Fully Charged, The Three Electric Motors Of The Tesla Semi Can Accelerate It To 100 Km/h In About 20 Seconds, Maintaining Highway Speed Even On Steep Hills.

When Connected To A Tesla Supercharger, The Huge Platform Can Charge The Battery Up To 70% In Half An Hour, Tesla Claims. The Brand’s Website States That It Can Save Truckers And Companies Up To US$ 200,000 Per Year In Fuel Costs.

It Also Claims That The Semi’s Center Seat Position Is Safer And Offers Better Visibility For The Driver. As The Battery Is Stored At The Base, The Vehicle Has A Low Center Of Gravity And Therefore Less Risk Of Rollover.

With The Production Of The Semi Just Beginning, It Is Unlikely That The Electric Car Maker’s Silent Truck Will Hit The Australian Roads Anytime Soon. Recently, Tesla Found New Success In Australia. Its Model Y Was The Third Best-Selling Vehicle In The Country In September And The Seventh Most Popular Brand. Its Model 3 Is Now The Best-Selling Sedan In The Country, Surpassing The Toyota Camry For The Year-To-Date.

This Number Could Be Even Higher If Fans Of Tesla Succeed. The Enthusiastic Fans Of The Electric Car Maker Are Still Waiting For The Cybertruck – A Futuristic Zero-Emission Vehicle. There Is Also No Information On When The Much-Awaited Tesla Roadster Will Become A Reality. The Main Electric Supercar Has Some Impressive Numbers, With Musk Claiming It Will Reach 60 Mph (96.6 Km/h) In 2.1 Seconds, But It Can Do It In 1.9 Seconds With The “Rocket Propulsion Option.”
