'Tesla Semi' is described as a heavy-duty all-electric truck program at Tesla led by Jerome Guillen, the company’s former Model S program director and VP of vehicle engineering.
According to a report on Top Gear, Musk confirmed at Tesla’s 2017 Annual Shareholder Meeting that the Semi will be a functional prototype.“We have shown it to a number of people who buy heavy-duty trucking and they all love it. They just want to know how many can they buy and how soon,” said Musk.
“The biggest customers of the heavy-duty Tesla Semi are helping ensure that it is specified to their needs. It’s not a mystery. They already know that it is going to work because they’ve told us what those needs are,” he said.
