Tesla's semi electric tractor prototype has gained many admirers in recent months. At the moment, this electric colossus is part of a kind of tour, which has the task of reaching out to potential buyers. The latest information points to an approach to the shipping company UPS, which had the honor of trying out the electric tractor on its own skin. The employees themselves had the opportunity to drive the Tesla Semiancand companies that shared the experience not only with the vehicle manufacturer itself, but also with the general public. What do they say about him?

After a recent visit to Arkansas, where the Semi truck was seen by a few onlookers, the vehicle is moving to Addison, Illinois, where it figures as a guinea pig for the delivery giant in the form of UPS. It is currently the holder of the largest reservation of the mentioned cars, while their order includes up to 125 tractor units. In connection with this fact, the company considers it necessary to employancthey also got acquainted with their future means of transport and "experienced" them in practice.

Employmentanceven UPS were really excited about driving a Tesla Semi. Some note that they have never driven in a better vehicle.

Jerome Guillenvedúci, who figures as the head of the Tesla Semi program, was also an actor in the testing. According to him, it was an excellent experience that was supposed to convince interested parties of the vehicle's qualities and at the same time bring more pre-orders to Tesla. However, many interested parties do not believe in the Semi truck, as they think it is impossible for Tesla to finish the development of a vehicle with the same range as it announced last year. It has a range of about 500 miles (804,67 km) with a fully loaded cargo linestore. Additionally, Tesla claims that the cost of traveling using a Tesla Semi should not exceed $1,26 per mile. Despite concerns and criticism from the market, he is a director of Tesla Elon Musk confident in the success of the vehicle.

Many interested parties who were able to test the tractor literally fell in love with it. they praise not only excellent drivability and comfortable interior, but also consumption and the aforementioned range (which should be increased in the final version). Assuming that the same tractor appeared a few weeks ago in California, it is possible to state that the test vehicle crossed the 4800 km mark. We'll see where we meet him next. Musk adds that at the moment only the last design accessories are waiting and production can begin. The Tesla Semi is slated to go into production in 2019, so it seems that this plan could be realized in the estimated time.
