Two of Tesla’s senior staff members, Chief Designer Franz von Holzhausen and Senior Manager of Semi-Truck Engineering Dan Priestley, just gave Jay Leno<\/a> a first-class tour and test drive of the brand’s electric Semi truck. Not only did Leno press the two for more details about the big electric rig, but he had the chance to experience it himself from behind the wheel. He even pulled another Tesla Semi during a portion of the drive.<\/p>\n

Leno specifically inquired with Priestley about the horsepower and pricing on the Semi<\/a>, both figures Tesla hasn’t published. The engineer mentioned that the total system output can reach up to about 1,500 hp (1,118 kW), emphasizing that Tesla customizes it based on customer requirements. Lowering the horsepower allows for increased longevity of the drivetrain and tires.<\/p>\n

In terms of pricing, Priestley says that it’s comparable to other heavy-duty electric trucks. Unsurprisingly, he went on to say that the real value is in using the truck to save on operating costs. For customers who specifically have regional routes where the truck returns to its home base every day.<\/p>\n
