We know a little bit so far about the semi — or, at least, we know guesses according to what publications have been potentially leaked so far. Reuters says the vehicle will have a range of 200 to 300 miles, with possible stations where drivers could swap batteries or flash charge a smaller one. The truck may be a “day cab” with no sleeper space. Full scale production is expected to start in 2019, scaling up over two years. Morgan Stanley has guessed Tesla will start fulfilling orders in 2020.
However, all this is speculation and rumor. When Reuters reached out to Tesla for comment, Tesla said it would not comment on speculation, whether true or not. “Doing so would be silly.”
We don’t yet know how much the trucks will cost to purchase. Tesla is also working on self-driving big rigs.
