NOVEMBER 16, 2017 / 11:04 PM / UPDATED 4 HOURS AGO Tesla to unveil electric big-rig truck in midst of Model 3 factory 'hell'
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) on Thursday will unveil a prototype electric big-rig truck, which may be able to drive itself, throwing the company into a new market even as it struggles to roll out an affordable sedan central to the company’s future...
Some analysts fear the truck, named Tesla Semi, will be an expensive distraction for Tesla, which is burning cash, has never posted an annual profit, and is in self-described “manufacturing hell” starting up production of the $35,000 Model 3 sedan.
