The Tesla motor company is planning on unveiling an all new semi truck that is all electric and has a range of 200-300 miles on a single charge. Elon Musk Chief Executive is expanding his company into other markets beyond just luxury cars. Although it might sound like a good idea for the future but there is a lot of issues. For instance an average semi truck would cost around $120,000 and a battery alone would cost that much to make a truck go at least 200 miles, thus meaning that the electric truck would be quite pricey.
