A rare sighting of the Tesla Semi happened this week when the massive electric truck assisted in the installation of pre-assembled Superchargers at Laguna Seca.
Tesla Charging released a video on its Twitter account showing off the sleek truck's prowess at the raceway in Salinas, California.
The base version of the Semi will cost about $150,000 and be able to travel up to 300 miles in a charge; the 500-mile range model will go for $180,000; it costs $20,000 to reserve one.
The Semi will have the quickest acceleration—going from 0-60 mph in 20 seconds—according to Tesla.
It will feature a centered driver's seat, four independent motors and its energy consumption will be less than two kilowatt-hours per mile.
Since it is Tesla, the truck comes with bells and whistles not typically seen.
Those include an 'explosion proof' windshield, a removable jump seat for passengers, updated technology found in touchscreen displays on both sides of the steering wheel that replace standard instrument panels, and standard Enhanced Autopilot with semi-autonomous capability, reports Hotcars.com.
