Tesla has been one of the fastest growing (large) companies in the past couple years. In just few years the market cap has increased ten fold and it has become one of the largest car manufacturers on the planet.
Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride tentatively scheduled for Oct 26th in Hawthorne. Worth seeing this beast in person. It's unreal.
It has surpassed Ford and GM to become the largest US car manufacturer in valuation. And Model 3, the inexpensive electric sedan, hasn't really been launched to the public yet.
However, Tesla and Elon Musk are not ready to rest on their laurels. The next step will be to revolutionize other aspects of motor traffic.
The next press conference will be focusing on semi-trucks. Tesla's next big product is a semi-truck, and although details are still scarce, it is fairly safe to say that it'll be an all electric vehicle with autonomous driving properties. It is also fairly safe to say that if this launch is successful it would revolutionize all cargo traffic in the United States.
Earlier this week Elon Musk tweeted saying that the unveiling of this semi-truck will happen tentatively on October 26th. Musk calls the vehicle a "beast" and says it is "unreal."
Some analysts have suggested that the product would ship in 2020 and would cost $100,000 with likely extra charges for replacement batteries.
