You can now reserve Tesla’s all-electric Semi truck

Now, you’d be forgiven for having forgotten all about Tesla’s Semi, which waswith futuristic concept art and envious specs. The company says the truck will be powered by four independent motors on the rear axles, go 0-60mph in 20 seconds, and have a battery range of either 300 or 500 miles.

Prices start at $150,000, and there have been a number of orders from businesses like Walmart and FedEx in the low-dozens range.But since that 2017 unveiling, Tesla has struggled with production for the Semi — which is understandable considering how quickly its managed to scale up manufacturing on itsEVs. Currently, the truck is scheduled to go into production next year, but we wouldn’t be too surprised if there are further delays .

Do I have to take a 10-hour break after 5 hours of driving waiting on this damn thing to charge?

Pdfffff

So, will it -have such huge batteries that it'll consume a lot of its hauling capacity just carrying them? or -have such tiny batteries that mileage would be too small to make it a feasible long range cargo vehicle?

The thing in brackets is what hurts the US EV customers and markets the most 😭🤬🤦‍♂️☹️

Contributions of TESLA for the modernization of present world are Commendable and matchless.

Like the Cybertruck and Roadster, never is the answer. Nothing more than a cash grab.

Typical 😂😂

This wound be so awesome!

Elon owes me $100 back for the deposit on the solar roof he reneged on.

By the time it arrives, it will be able to Fully Self Drive itself by Hyperloop to Mars.

You guys are ridiculous

I love how it looks lol Like I never saw anything like it

🤨🤨🤨

So flip a coin for either +5 years after the date announced or never.

the batteries will weigh more than the bloody ,pay load, its a loose, loose, from the start imagine running out of battery in the middle of the Arizona desert,

Okay!! Tesla talked about reducing the number of Pre-orders. I wonder if this going to be there focus.

Why are we so naive when it comes to Electric Vehicles, EVs? Right now everyone of us who has a gas powered vehicle can convert it to an Electric one for about $5000 USD. The govt's should be promoting this & demanding it gets done but the car corporations seem to control them.

Similar to FSD, I assume Tesla is not recognizing this revenue. Tesla has only recognized portions of FSD revenue because the product is not done. So implying that Tesla is receiving an interest-free loan is inaccurate. They may earn interest, but have not recongized/spent it.

Is the steering gonna go out on that as it's traveling 80+ MPH and fully loaded?

Well, someone has to pay for his BS

It's a shame it looks like something out of cars or toy story.

Lmao so tesla wants another minimum 5 year interest free loan from suckers huh?

What’s the verge only making it articles related to Elon ?

Think how many non-existent Roadsters you could fit in the back of your non-existent Semi. Literally infinite cargo capacity in that use case. Elon has done it again.

😂😂

I wAnT a ReFuNd

More conware from Tesla...

Worst truck I have ever seen

6 years since it was shown off and said to be working? Should change from calling it vaporware to dust in the wind.

Who made you angry?

'News' these days.

Verge has gone downhill.

I don't know why the truck design looks like it's from a cartoon, Am I the only one who thinks that? 🤔😂⚡

😠 at elonmusk 🤣 😭

Oh that design xD

This won’t fit in my garage
