Elon Musk Claims a Tesla Semi Prototype Drove “Across the Country Alone”
 
by Kristin Houser August 27, 2018 Advanced Transport

NOT ALL DOOM AND GLOOM. Tesla might be sucking the life force of CEO Elon Musk, but at least the company’s got some some good news to show for it.

On Saturday, Electrek tweeted a picture of one of Tesla’s autonomous Semi prototypes at the headquarters of trucking company J.B. Hunt. In response, Musk tweeted, “What’s cool is that it was driven across the country alone (no escort or any accompanying vehicles), using the existing Tesla Supercharger network and an extension cord.”

He later added (jokingly, we assume), “The extension cord was 1000 miles long, but still.”
