Since the truck's unveiling, Tesla has said it will be the world's best-selling, fastest, high-powered truck.
The truck goes from 0 to 120 km/h in 20 seconds and at maximum load, making it the most powerful and fastest truck in the world.
The strange thing is that it makes very low electricity consumption, from 1 kWh/km.
It has 4 electric independent motors as well as traction control.
Improved autopilot helps avoid collisions, a central driving position provides maximum visibility and control, and a low centre of gravity offers rollover protection. Each driver is responsible for remaining alert and active when using the autopilot and must be ready to take action at all times.
Electric power costs are half that of diesel. With fewer systems to maintain, the Tesla Semi provides $200,000+ in fuel savings and a two-year payback period.

The Tesla Semi-currently in the prototype phase-has a range of 804 kilometers, or 500 miles, at full load and highway speeds, Tesla says, and shares a number of components with the Model 3 sedan to reduce costs. Production is scheduled to begin in 2019.
It will be a big bonus for the haulage companies as it will save them a lot in consumables and fuel costs. A minus would probably be the full autopilot, which would probably cause problems at first despite the sensitive and high technology. That's the only thing that bothers us personally, not the truck itself.
In the next topic we will feature a new absolutely unmanned truck, which we hope at least in the coming years will not be put on the road, although the Chinese talk about its quite successful performance. It will also cause a worldwide economic famine, as millions of drivers will be out of work, and they are proven professionals. The transport industries are one of the biggest and leading economies
