Elon Musk is known for his attitude to this world — he always wants to do more. Tonight he unveiled the long-awaited Tesla electroform Semi. Equipped with a massive battery the truck is capable of hauling 36 tons. It can even go on their own! On the highway, at least.
A New transport, presented Musk in the Tesla design center in Hawthorne, California, is the next step in the mission of Mask, the aim of which is that mankind has forgotten about fossil fuels and moved into clean energy. So be it, if the Mask will be able to convince the transport industry that needs to move on.

Truck for work
Musk believes that to deal with the big guys — the best way to have a real impact on climate change. In the five years that have passed since then, as Tesla began producing the Model S sedan, the company sold 200,000 vehicles. In the U.S. roads are about 250 million cars, so those 200 000 — a drop in the ocean. Even if Tesla can increase production of "affordable" Model 3 sedan, it will be a long time before a car manufacturer from Silicon valley will be able to change the very principles of the movement of humanity, who rely on fossil fuels.
Trucks — any tool because they are particularly toxic. "Heavy vehicles represent a small portion of vehicles on the roads, but take most of the emissions," says Jimmy O’Dia, studying clean transport means Union of concerned scientists. In California, this category accounts for 7% of the total volume of vehicles, but 20% of transport-related greenhouse gas emissions and a third of NOx emissions (which are associated with asthma and respiratory diseases).
Any truck that will use electricity instead of diesel fuel, will cease to have a negative impact on the planet and everything living on it. 18-wheeled monsters — the ultimate evil. While many people think and develop electric trucks from Tesla for it and have the resources and engineers, and power. Most importantly — she has the power to attract the attention of the entire automotive industry.
The Cabin is carbon fiber on the outside presents a smooth lines. Aerodynamics is important when talking about fuel economy, and counting the number of electrons, and Tesla promises that Semi will cut through air more efficiently than even some sports cars.
