Tiktoker hectorgonsales74 has shared this quite interesting video, presenting a detailed walkaround of the Tesla Semi. Keep watching the video, it gets even more interesting once Hector shows the details in the middle. 

The Semi is a Class 8 electric truck that was first announced by Tesla in 2017. It has a range of up to 500 miles and can tow up to 80,000 pounds. In the video, Hector gets up close and personal with the Semi, detailing its exterior features.

According to Hector, a female is driving this Pepsi Tesla Semi. One of the most interesting things about the Semi is its power. Hector says the female driver told him this Tesla semi has way more power than a diesel semi and her route only used around 20% of the charge. By the way, recently PepsiCo revealed Tesla Semi's operation details with real mileage and they are impressive.

She said they are amazing. Pepsi's femal driver also said the Tesla Semi proved to be a force to be reckoned with, boasting remarkable stability and an impressive battery life that left her awe-inspired.

So it seems clear that the era of sluggish diesel engines is about to come to a screeching halt.

It's also likely to be more comfortable and safer to drive than traditional diesel semis.

Overall, the video provides a fascinating glimpse of the Tesla Semi. It's clear that this truck is a major technological advancement, and it has the potential to change the trucking industry for the better.

Thank you Armen, great stuff! One quibble: the maximum GVR (gross vehicle weight) is 82,000 pounds. (2000 more than a diesel truck) So tractor plus trailer with cargo can weigh a max of 82k lbs by law. Who knows maybe it can pull 80k lbs but it’s not allowed to. 😉
