A matte red Tesla Semi prototype was spotted at a supercharger station in Rocklin, California, and for the first time, we get a look at its frunk, which is comparable in size to the Model S or Model 3. The top-of-the-line $180,000 model has a range of 500 miles on a single charge under normal highway conditions, and can hit 60 mph in just five seconds with no trailer or twenty seconds with a full 80,000 lbs load.

“Tesla CEO Elon Musk went on record earlier this month saying that the all-electric semi truck won’t go into production until late 2020, despite some early claims that production would commence in 2019.
