A member of the EV-enthusiast community group calledTesla Owners Silicon Valley captured a video of a semi driving on California's Highway 580 West.
An intriguing glimpse of a mystery-shrouded vehicle that could, if everything goes according to plan, rearrange, can be seen in the big rig in the clip that is being driven without its trailer.
The Semi, which is described on the website as the "safest, most comfortable truck ever," was first presented by Musk in 2017.
Musk said at the time that the tractor-trailer would go to market in 2019.
Five years later, the Semi is still yet to be available, but Musk is no stranger to pushed back production schedules. You can reserve a truck from the upcoming fleet, even though you can't get your hands on a truck yet. It isn't cheap.
Currently, the quicksilver CEO is holding the line that we'll be seeing many more Semis hit the streets in 2023, manufactured at volume alongside the Cybertruck and a new-and-improved Roadster. Without people being killed.
When electric trucks take the roads in bigger numbers, they could potentially make a difference in efforts to cut fossil fuel emissions. Musk has promised safety. As of late, other partially-autonomous vehicles haven't been showing "BAMF performance" in that area, so Semi safety remains to be seen.
