Tesla unveils electric articulated truck─── 09:52 Sat, 18 Nov 2017
California - Tesla has unveiled its first electric articulated truck, designed to challenge diesel trucks as king of the road.
BBC reports that the long-anticipated Tesla Semi has a range of 800 kilometers on a single charge. Tesla says the vehicle - known in the US as a semi-trailer truck - will go into production in 2019.
Chief executive Elon Musk also unexpectedly revealed a new Roadster, which he said would be "the fastest production car ever" made.
The red sports car was driven out of the trailer of the electric lorry during Tesla's presentation earlier this week.
The Roadster will have a range of close to 1 000km on a single charge and will do 0-100mph in 4.2 seconds.
The new Roadster becomes available in 2020.
