2 Details about the Tesla Truck have been sparse, but at the link below, Elon Musk has a few interesting things to say on the subject, including:


“So this is a heavy duty, long range, semi-truck. So it’s like the highest weight capability & with long range ... out-torque any diesel semi & if you had a tug-of-war competition, the Tesla semi will tug the diesel semi uphill.”


“... so nimble & you’re in this giant truck.”
