Tesla's all-electric truck soon to be revealed
Tesla plans to reveal an all-electric truck with a working range of 300-450km on 16 November. The Tesla Semi’s previous debut date was the 26 October, but Tesla boss Elon Musk delayed the official unveiling following production difficulties with the Model 3. Musk is using the extra three weeks since the truck's original October 26 reveal date to iron out 'production bottlenecks' on the Model 3 production line. Musk first revealed an image of the lorry and gave details of its performance during an interview with academic media outlet TED in June. He also announced the product on social media, describing it as 'unreal', but did not give any further details on its capabilities. According to reports, Tesla is aiming to crack regional hauling in the US and is expected to have an advanced level of autonomy. Musk claimed that the heavy-duty, long-range Semi is capable of the heaviest class of haulage permitted on US roads. He also stated that the vehicle will be able to produce greater torque than any truck currently on the road.
