While it is capable of going up the Grapevine at 60, is there video of that? It would have been speeding as the towing limit in CA is 55. I’d really like to see the consumption doing it as if I understand correctly all 3 motors would be working in that situation. I’m sure it’s well under a mile per KWh then.
Said it before, Pepsi is beta test. I’m sure it will do great for them as the use pattern is set for success.

There is a time compressed video on you tube. You can kinda see the display and topography so I guess that’s a yes. I won’t bother to look at it but if you have the time you might be able to see all the details.

Here is the video that explains everything about the Tesla Semi. It even talks about the thermal nuclear glass that is in this truck and many, many other details about this Semi.

Pretty cool!!! I never heard about the thermal nuclear glass? I learn something every day!

The narrator lost me in the first 30 seconds. First, how did he divine how much weight is inside the enclosed trailer? Second, how did he calculate that there is only 5 tons of material on the Tesla's trailer? Those look like standard 10ft Jersey barricades to me and there appears to be 11 or 12 of them on the trailer. A Google search turned up the bit of information "The most common concrete jersey barricade size used is: 10 ft Long x 24 in Wide x 32 in High and weigh approximately 4,000 lbs." That is two tons each. 11 dividers X 2 tons/divider = 22 tons.

Once I realized that narrator was blowing smoke I just shut it down.
