Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !

Tesla is asking for a $US20,000 ($A29,020) reservation fee. Interested parties are asked to deposit $US5,000 immediately and then arrange a wire for the remainder within 10 days, plus another $US20,000 for each vehicle required.

Tesla claims that as half the costs of running a diesel semi-trailer are fuel, the payback time for the Semi is two years.

Of course, the Semi is only available in the US for now.
