Tesla Semi
Tesla's 2023 will be a very important year, because judging from the premises it will be the year in which the American house will finally be able to give life to some long-awaited models, such as the Roadster, the Cybertruck, and even the Tesla Semi truck; it is the latter that is in the spotlight these days, because almost 5 years after its presentation, Tesla has finally opened the pre-orders for the electric truck that is a candidate to become the fastest in the world.Per to complete the pre-order of the Tesla Semi it is necessary to pay about $ 20,000 in deposit over 10 days, according to what is reported on the company's website. The first payment of $ 5,000 serves to formalize the reservation, and then you must confirm it by blocking the order with a further payment of $ 15,000 to be made within 10 days of the first order. All this is valid for every single Tesla Semi that you want to buy.
Elon Musk makes no secret of the fact that he would like to expand the Tesla range in 2023, because up to now there have been major slowdowns that have prevented the American manufacturer from expanding as he would have liked; with the coming year, the chances of seeing long-talked-about models like the Cybertruck and the Roadster live will increase, and the first Megacharger charging points dedicated to the Tesla Semi will also begin to be seen.
Tesla restricts Cybertruck reservations, but is taking $20,000 deposits on Semi
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that when it comes to President Biden, 'the real president is the teleprompter.' He made the remarks on a video episode of The All-In Podcast.

CEO Elon Musk last week suggested the automaker could close the order book due to demand outstripping projected supplies.
'We have more orders of the first Cybertrucks than we could possibly fulfill for three years after the start of production,' Musk said at the FT Future of the Car 2022 conference, Reuters reported.
Tesla hasn't released an official number, but crowdsourced tallies indicate that it could be more than one million. It is currently only available to reserve in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.

The Semi was first revealed in 2017 and Tesla received several large fleet orders shortly thereafter from major brands, including PepsiCo, Anheuser-Busch and Walmart.

Tesla currently advertises the Semi with a Class 8 hauling capacity of 80,000 pounds and ranges from 300 to 500 miles per charge at base prices of $150,000 and $180,000. Musk has also said Tesla's new battery technology could potentially push that to 621 miles, which is 1,000 kilometers.
No projected date for deliveries is currently listed. It was originally expected to enter production in 2019, but development delays have pushed that to 2023 at the earliest.
