Tesla To Unveil Electric Semi Truck That Elon Musk Calls A ‘Beast’

Tesla is on the verge of entering a new market, moving beyond its bread and butter business of high-end electric sedans and crossovers into the world of heavy-duty trucks in a shift Elon Musk has been promising for some time.

The restless billionaire tech industrialist tweeted out today that Tesla will reveal its biggest (and presumably costliest) electric vehicle to date: A battery-powered semi, to be shown in suburban Los Angeles next month. (That’s later that Musk’s initial target of a September debut, but a minor issue in the grand scheme of things.)
