The shoes are starting to drop and Tesla appears to be in the drivers seat when it comes to the electric tractor trailer market. According to CNBC, (WARNING auto play video) Wal-Mart has preordered 5 of the Tesla semi trucks and is going to test them in the U.S. and Canada. This follows on the announcement by J.B. Hunt that they have reserved multiple semis as well.
In an expansion from personal vehicles, Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled an electric semitractor-trailer Thursday that has a 500-mile range on a single charge and is electronically connected with a fleet's management system. The vehicle allows the driver to stand and puts the steering wheel in the center with a touchscreen panel on both sides of the driver.
