Semi is still slated for production. Has not been cancelled.
Tesla is accepting reservations on it's website and the reporter who photographed it charging and another loaded and most likely on test run is not delusional.
Just out of curiosity. When and where? Is this the same recycled pic from a year ago. I have not seen any evidence of testing from the recent past.
I'm sure Elon is dying to show you one should you plant your b@tt in the steps of Tesla factory in Fremont just to allay your skepticism and convince you to make your own reservation.
:h I think you have gone of the rails. What does anything in that response have to do with testing? They are taking laps in a factory simulating actual road conditions, reliability and range? allegedly the semi is scheduled for launch in the very near future but no testing. It is a legitimate question with respect to the launch timeline.
I’m not up on the actual projected timeline but I think it was pushed to end 2020 for limited production. Battery capacity is probably the big hold up. Model Y production now moved up to end first quarter. Model 3 European demand still strong. Grid Superpack and power wall demand growing. Giga one isn’t at max production yet but it is getting close. I’m not sure what the answer is. They also had to send packs to Giga 3 in Shanghai for the first few thousand MIC model 3’s. But they will use those up quick now as they received their sales permit from the Chinese goverment on Friday. They are building about 110 cars per shift right now in China but will be adding a second shift soon and then a third. They’ll go thru the stored up packs quick. Then they will be building packs right in Giga three. Bottom line there is just not enough battery capacity to cover a large amount of Semis right now. You can build 7 or 10 model 3’s with the cells from one semi.
There are videos of the semi in the wild on YouTube.
Tesla is a victim of their own success. So much demand they can't keep their lines supplied with all the components.
It would be like Ram having a surge in demand for diesels and Cummins not being able to supply them, which in turn then hurts Ram sales.
