As announced by Elon Musk and Tesla back in October, the Tesla Semi ambitious electric truck was officially launched on December 1st during a great event broadcasted online. On that day, the very first Tesla truck delivered (to PepsiCo, by the way) was also announced. The project that led to the presentation of the electric truck, the only one capable to run 800 km on a single charge, according to the manufacturer, was not easy and some important delays happened throughout the years. Now, the truck seems to be ready to hit the road.
