Tesla has recently released a video demonstrating an all-electric Semi prototype being put through its paces in the company’s test track.

The electric automobile manufacturer first introduced the Semi into the world in November 2017 and while the first program was to get deliveries to start in 2019the truck has been repeatedly postponed and won’t reach the hands of clients until later this season.

The clip shows the Semi testing on a banked section of Tesla’s test circuit but it isn’t towing a trailer. Since you’d expect, it’s extremely quiet in comparison to your normal diesel truck and promises to offer much superior performance.

When first announced, Elon Musk maintained the Tesla Semi would have a range of 500 miles (804 km) beneath street conditions when towing an 80,000 pounds (36,387 kg) load. He added that it would have the ability to hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 20 seconds with a entire 80,000 lb load and climb 5 percent inches in a steady 65 mph (104.6 km/h), compared to the 45 mph (72 km/h) of the equivalent diesel truck. Subsequently, in early 2020, Musk maintained the Semi’therefore array would really sit at 600 miles (965 kilometers ).

The electric car market has improved quite a lot recently so it’s reasonable to suppose that a few improvements will be made to the Semi before it hits production. In actuality, Electrek asserts that the prototype in this video is using the organization ’s fresh 4680 battery cells that promise to increase array.
