Tesla

At the beginning of this month, the Tesla Semi finally became reality, with FritoLay and Pepsi taking the first deliveries at a specially orchestrated event. Now that the truck is ready for the life on the road, Tesla wants more companies to order one. And in case you were looking at it but had your doubts regarding its toughness, Tesla is out today with a short video showcasing all the testing the Semi was put through in "a variety of harsh conditions". Take a look for yourself:

All of this testing was carried out over a few years of development of the now-finally-a-real-product truck, and the whole point was to try and maximize its reliability and durability, according to Tesla.

By the way, if watching that video made you dream of a career in testing such vehicles for Tesla, you're in luck, as this was actually posted on LinkedIn alongside a job opening for, you guessed it, Vehicle Test Engineer. It's even specifically for the Semi, so it looks like Tesla wants to keep the tests going despite the fact that it's already started production of the truck.
