Tesla’s electric semi will now make its debut next month, company founder and CEO Elon Musk tweeted Friday. The tractor was originally slated to roll out last month before being pushed back to the end of this month.
Tesla Semi unveil now Nov 16. Diverting resources to fix Model 3 bottlenecks & increase battery production for Puerto Rico & other affected areas.

Musk’s new tentative date, November 16, marks the second time the Silicon Valley carmaker has rescheduled the truck’s premiere. The delay comes just a few days after a rumored photo, seen above, of the electric tractor was posted to Reddit and became widely circulated.
I asked Tesla about the photo and its authenticity. Their spokesperson told me that the company’s policy is “to always decline to comment on speculation.”
