Tesla Semi Truck Quietly Rolls Into A SuperCharger Center

Tesla Semi made many people all of the sudden interested in semi trucks. The silence you hear, when the Tesla Semi backs up, is amazing. It feels like a celebrity walks into the restaurant you are dining at.

Even people, who don't love trucks, love the Semi. "I have never liked them. They are big, loud giants that stalk you on the roads. To see Tesla taking these giants and making them fully electric, having the autopilot tech combined really makes me feel safer. I’ve always felt a little intimidated when one passes me up whether I am in a friends car or on a bus or walking. And when walking, they make these loud diesel farts that you choke on," writes Johnna Crider in a story about Tesla Semi, published in Tesla Social.
