Tesla's Class 8 electric semi-trailer truck is now in production, five years after the reveal.
Tesla started accepting reservations for the Semi in May and started requesting a $20,000 deposit in August, at which point reservations were closed. The trucks were originally priced at $150,000 for a 300-mile model and $180,000 for a 500-mile model. It's possible the prices will be increased when reservations open again, a situation that hasTesla's performance figures for the Semi include 0-60 mph acceleration in 20 seconds and the ability to accelerate on gradients up to 5%.
Tesla hasn't said how big the battery is but the company said a 70% charge in 30 minutes is possible using one of its chargers designed for the Semi. It's possible there will also be Tesla's Autopilot and Full Self-Driving electronic driver-assist features, though Tesla hasn't confirmed the availability. The company originally said there will be some self-driving capability back during the truck's 2017 launch, however.
