A Tesla Semi prototype is evidently on tour to visit potential customers at the moment since it has been spotted at J.B. Hunt last week and now UPS is taking a look at the electric truck.
The delivery giant’s employees even had the chance to test drive it and they say it’s ‘one smooth ride’.
After we reported that Tesla Semi showed up to J.B. Hunt in Arkansas almost 2,000 miles away from its home base, Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that Tesla Semi made it ‘across the country alone’ with only Supercharger network and an extension cord.
Now it is back on the road and it made it to UPS’ hub in Addison in Illinois, which is about 600 miles north from J.B. Hunt in Arkansas.
UPS is one of Tesla Semi’ largest reservation holders with 125 electric trucks on order and that’s apparently enough to make UPS employees eligible for test rides in a prototype.
