How would you like to get an extra dollar for every five miles you drive? That’s one of many notable promises made by Tesla Motors at the unveiling of the electric Tesla Semi.
The boast gets at the heart of what owner-operators care the most about: Would this equipment save me serious money? That question traditionally hinges on not just fuel efficiency, but also truck price and maintenance costs.
Price was one of the glaring omissions at the debut, though days later Tesla announced a range of $150,000 to $200,000. A 300-mile variant of the Semi will cost $150,000; the 500-mile model, $180,000; and a Founders Series will run $200,000, according to Tesla’s website.

General Motors appears to slowly be amassing a fleet of pickups focused on snow applications. The automaker’s recently unveiled 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD All Mountain is its latest concept pickup and follows the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD Alaskan Edition which was unveiled at the 2016 SEMA show.
Unlike the Alaskan, whose custom plow is meant to remove snow from your path, the Sierra All Mountain is designed for simply gliding over the white stuff.
GMC calls it a “one-of-a-kind snow-climbing machine.” In non-marketing speak that means it has Mattracks-built tracks where the tires usually go.
