Is this the first sighting of the Tesla semi truck? It is consistent with the teaser image first shown by Elon Musk at a Ted Talk & reported here in May of this year.1
Whatever the veracity of the image, we'll know soon:
Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride tentatively scheduled for Oct 26th in Hawthorne. Worth seeing this beast in person. It's unreal.

Update – unveil delayed until mid November:
Tesla Semi unveil now Nov 16. Diverting resources to fix Model 3 bottlenecks & increase battery production for Puerto Rico & other affected areas.
