Only a week ago we know the new bet of Elon Musk and Tesla in the automotive sector. As we all know well, in addition to wanting to bet on cars, Elon Musk also knows that in the trucking industry there is a huge market to explore. And he did so by presenting his fully electric truck known as Tesla Semi.
This truck can already be reserved, and the first units will be supplied in 2019. It was said that fuel savings after two years of purchase amounted to approximately $ 200.000. However, it had not been discussed what its price would be1, something that did happen with the co-starring vehicle of the early morning event. Exactly, the Tesla Roadster second generation.
As explained in the presentation, the new generation of Roadster would cost $ 200.000 (about 170.000 euros at the current exchange rate). And from the outset, in order to reserve it, users had to pay an initial 50.000 euros. Well, days later, more details of the Tesla Semi, the electric truck, are already known. And to everyone's surprise, this vehicle will cost less than expected. What's more, we can assure you that you will save money compared to the Tesla Roadster.
There will be two versions with different autonomies. The base version with a range of 500 kilometers on a single charge will be priced at U.S. dollar 150.000 (127.000 euros to change). While if the user opts for the version with a range of up to 800 kilometers on a single charge, the price will rise to U.S. dollar 180.000 (152.000 euros to change).
As with the second-generation Tesla Roadster, Tesla already supports reservations of this Tesla Semi. Now, to make it effective you must deposit $ 20.000 (17.000 euros). Therefore, delivery companies can already make reservations for these models to add them to their fleet and see how waste in diesel is drastically reduced.
