Recently, the company had introduced a futuristic all-electric semi truck design for “green” initiative.

“We designed the Tesla truck to be like a bullet,” said Tesla co-founder and CEO, Elon Musk. Tesla is touting performance that it says will make the Tesla Semi quicker and more economical than today’s diesel-powered trucks.

It has four independent electric motors, one for each of its wheels, a transmission that requires no shifting of gears, and a regenerative braking system that “gives it basically infinite brake life,” Musk said.

The company says the truck can accelerate to 60 miles per hour in five seconds, and reach that speed in 20 seconds hauling a maximum 80,000 pound load, must faster than a traditional diesel truck.
