According to CTOnews.com8 news on March 29, Tesla launched the electric truck Semi in November 2017, and the production and launch time of the car has been delayed several times in the following five years. On August 10 this year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on the social networking site that Tesla's 500-mile (804.67 km) version of the Semi truck would begin delivery this year.

Twitter user @ Tesla_Adri found that Tesla's official website updated the appearance of the electric truck Semi, further confirming that the car is about to be delivered, TESLARATI reported today. As can be seen from the updated picture, the steering wheel of the Semi truck is centrally designed, with a display panel on the left and right sides, and an armbox on the right side of the driver's seat, which can hold items such as water cups.

At the same time, Twitter user @ MikeOPSEC pointed out that the camera installation position of the Semi truck is very reasonable and can help truck drivers eliminate visual blindness.

In May, the electric truck Semi began accepting bookings from ordinary users with a deposit of $20, 000. But as TESLARATI reported on Aug. 18, Tesla recently updated the order interface of the electric truck Semi, canceling the booking option. In addition, Tesla modified the configuration information of the electric truck Semi. The car on the order page is not carrying the previous 4 motors, but the newly added 3 motors.

CTOnews.com learned that the 4-motor version of the Semi electric truck adopts a 6 × 4 drive type, which is driven by four independent motors and is distributed on two rear axles with a horsepower of 1100 horsepower. Under the condition of 36 tons of cargo, the acceleration time of 0-100km is about 20 seconds, which is about half of the acceleration time of traditional trucks.

In terms of price, the 480km version sells for $150000 (975000 yuan) and the 800km version sells for $180000 (1.17 million yuan).
