The world’s first fully electric heavy-duty commercial cybertruck will be launched by Tesla in the end of 2023. This is according to a statement made by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. The launch of the business’s first fully electric heavy-duty truck is one step closer after it was reported that Tesla had received pre-production licenses from various state agencies earlier this year.
The company’s new venture, called the Semi Truck, is specifically designed to tackle long-haul highway trips and other more demanding off-road conditions. Willing to compete with similar vehicles such as Peterbilt’s E-Series and Daimler AG’s Freightliner Cascadia, the new truck has been developed specifically for operations on highways and city streets with less stringent driving conditions compared to highways.
In addition to its design, which is intended to offer drivers better visibility, a lower cabin interior, greater passenger space and increased storage compartments compared to previous trucks from Tesla—the Semi also has several other features intended to help it become an industry leader in electric commercial trucks.
What’s new about the Semi?
The Tesla Semi will have autonomous driving and ramp When it launches, the Tesla Semi will have autonomous driving meaning it can steer, change lanes, and park itself allowing drivers to focus on their mission rather than driving. Autonomous driving will be enabled by radar and cameras that feed data to the Tesla Semi’s onboard computers.
When combined, these sensors allow the Tesla Semi to “see” its surroundings in 360 degrees including other vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles in the road allowing for the vehicle to navigate safely and predictably. By the end of the year, Tesla will add this feature to the Tesla Semi through a software update. The Semi will have a high power battery The Tesla Semi’s battery will be a significant step ahead of previous electric heavy-duty truck batteries.
It will have a capacity of about 100 kWh and will allow for a range of about 500 miles. That’s about double the range of current electric trucks. The Tesla Semi will be able to charge at a high rate, too 500 miles in less than 30 minutes when using Tesla’s proprietary Supercharger network far more quickly than other charging methods.
The Semi will have an updated braking system The Semi will have a more powerful braking system than Tesla’s earlier models, able to stop the truck in under 30 meters. Tesla has been testing this system since the beginning of this year with local authorities in Nevada.
Tesla’s updated braking system will allow the Semi to stop at a lower, safer speed than its heavier, combustion-powered siblings. That will help reduce the risk of causing a crash when the truck is used on streets, not just highways. Tesla Semi will have 360-degree visibility for driver safety Tesla’s Semi will have a new camera system, enabling it to have 360-degree visibility for the driver.
It will replicate the view from a standard rearview mirror, but from the side. This will allow drivers to see what’s behind them and to the sides of their truck, helping to prevent crashes and make their jobs as truck drivers safer. Tesla Semi will have more storage compartments to carry cargo The Tesla Semi will have more storage compartments, giving it more carrying space for cargo.
It will have a 21-foot cargo van body style, with a standard 60-foot trailer. With the van body style, the Semi will have a standard 8-foot-wide trailer and a 10-foot-wide trailer. Road testing of the Tesla Semis is expected in 2020 Tesla plans to begin road testing of the Tesla Semis later this year. This will take the form of a series of small-scale tests in which Tesla will use actual Tesla Semis to transport goods.
The tests will serve as a valuable test of the technology, gathering real-world data about the performance of the electric trucks, including things like how fast they can haul cargo, how long they can travel between charges, and how many times they need to be charged between runs.
What’s next for Tesla?
Tesla is not slowing down. As the automaker continues to invest heavily in its future, it is also working on Tesla Semi prototypes and a new Tesla pickup truck. In addition, Tesla recently unveiled its all-electric heavy-duty truck in a new teaser video. The new Tesla pickup truck will be Tesla’s second new vehicle launch of the year. The Tesla pickup’s anticipated release date is slated for 2020.
How can Tesla succeed in the truck market?
Tesla has several advantages over other truck manufacturers when it comes to entering the market. The selection of Tesla Semi as the launch vehicle for this new venture is an important one. The choice of Tesla is likely a result of the automaker’s sizable fleet of current customers.
Tesla vehicles are likely to be purchased by large companies that need a truck for long-haul routes, making the Tesla Semi an attractive option. In addition, because the Tesla Semi is a new product, it will not face the same high competition from established manufacturers that are likely to have the new Tesla pickup.

Final Words
The Semi promises to bring a new level of efficiency and safety to the trucking industry by using all-electric powertrains. This will help reduce noise pollution and improve air quality in cities because the truck won’t emit any pollutants into the air. Furthermore, these trucks will also be cheaper to operate and their drivers will have better earnings because they don’t need to spend as much time driving around and they can also rest while they are not driving during the day.
Tesla’s plans to bring this fully electric truck to market are starting to take shape. The company recently filed a new trademark for a name that could indicate the production model will be called the Tesla Semi. The trademark was filed in June, and it was approved in September. This means the name could be officially announced at the end of the year.
