In the present day we got here throughout an attention-grabbing sight of a Tesla Semi transporting a Tesla Cybertruck on a freeway someplace in the US.

The video was shared on Twitter by S.E. Robinson, Jr. (@SERobinsonJr), though its origin is TikTok u/itsnatalierosee.

What we see is almost certainly a pre-production Tesla Cybertruck, one of many autos used for checks forward of the upcoming manufacturing begin. Let’s recall that restricted manufacturing ought to start later this 12 months on the Tesla Giga Texas plant, whereas the present standing (in line with the corporate’s Q2 monetary report, is “Tooling”).

The Tesla Semi, alternatively, is already within the “Pilot manufacturing” stage in Nevada. We assume that this explicit car is in Tesla’s inside fleet (we all know that at the least a double-digit of autos was delivered to the primary prospects – Pepsi has 21).

A further “bonus” video signifies that there was one other Tesla Semi driving behind the primary one, however with none trailer.

Properly, that is the primary time we have seen the all-electric Tesla Semi Class 8 truck used for hauling the all-electric Tesla Cybertruck pickup. Tesla beforehand used the Semi to move its electrical vehicles, so it may be a mixture of labor, checks, and basic advertising and marketing forward of the Cybertruck launch.

We are saying advertising and marketing as a result of we all know that lots of the Tesla Cybertruck (camouflaged or not) movies and Tesla Semi movies went viral prior to now. Tesla most likely is conscious of that and easily takes benefit of that to stay within the information.

Each the Tesla Semi and the Tesla Cybertruck have a giant likelihood to revolutionize their segments, not solely due to the electrical drive however the total idea, which is clearly totally different from Class 8 semi vans and inside combustion engine pickups from the previous.

We’ve got to be affected person and wait till at the least 2024, perhaps even 2025 – till high-volume manufacturing will start – to see whether or not the Semi and Cybertruck will make a critical splash available in the market.
