Flashback

The Tesla Semi was scheduled to hit the market in 2019, but for unknown reasons, the announcement was delayed. The truck boasts a range of 800 km, an aerodynamic drag coefficient lower than that of the Bugatti Chiron supercar (0.36 vs. 0.38), autopilot, and four engines. They will accelerate the truck to 100 km/h in just 5 seconds. With a full load this figure will increase to 20 seconds.
