Right now 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 most certainly a pre-production Tesla Cybertruck, one of many automobiles used for assessments 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 keeping with the corporate’s Q2 monetary report, is “Tooling”).

The Tesla Semi, however, is already within the “Pilot manufacturing” stage in Nevada. We assume that this explicit automobile is in Tesla’s inside fleet (we all know that not less than a double-digit of automobiles was delivered to the primary clients – 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, assessments, and normal advertising and marketing forward of the Cybertruck launch.

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

Each the Tesla Semi and the Tesla Cybertruck have an enormous probability to revolutionize their segments, not solely due to the electrical drive however the general idea, which is clearly totally different from Class 8 semi vehicles and inside combustion engine pickups from the previous.

We’ve to be affected person and wait till not less than 2024, possibly even 2025 – till high-volume manufacturing will start – to see whether or not the Semi and Cybertruck will make a critical splash out there.
