TESLA cars are known for being environmentally friendly due to the fact that they are all-electric.
Now, Elon Musk’s company is planning on releasing a new semi-truck that can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 20 seconds.

Tesla Semi: How can I order the electric truck?
The Tesla semi-truck is one of the company’s most delayed vehicles with many thinking it would have been released already.
Despite the setbacks, the innovative car is expected to hit the roads sometime in 2023.
As of May 2022, Tesla is accepting pre-orders for the vehicle on their website with only a $5,000 down payment, however, an additional $15,000 will be due within ten days to complete the reservation.
How much is the Tesla Semi?
While interested buyers are only required to put down $20,000 for the futuristic semi, that is not the total price of the vehicle.
The truck is expected to start at $150,000 with a secondary option available for $180,000 that will allow drivers to go an estimated 500 miles on a single charge.
This price is aligned with its other vehicles including the Tesla Model X, which starts at $106,590, and the Model S, which starts at $91,590.
However, there are more affordable options when it comes to buying a Tesla car such as the Model 3, which starts at $49,390, and the Model Y which starts at $55,190.
When was the Tesla Semi revealed?
One of the main reasons why people are surprised that the semi hasn’t hit the roads yet is because it was first introduced back in 2017.
At the time, Musk introduced the Tesla Semi along with the Tesla Roadster, which is described on the company’s website as the “quickest car in the world, with record-setting acceleration, range, and performance.”

Like the Tesla Semi, the roadster also faced delays but is expected to be released in 2023.
The car is available for reservation now on the Tesla website with $5,000 due the same day and an additional $45,000 due within 10 days.
The Tesla Roadster is said to have a 620-mile range and be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 1.9 seconds.
Unlike the Tesla Semi, the Roadster is expected to cost upwards of $200,000.
