Fremont, California is home the Tesla — the disruptive electric vehicle and clean energy products manufacturer — so CA is home to most of the Tesla prototype spottings as was the case with Model 3.

The latest footage was caught by Sergey Moldovan while cruising on California Freeway (video below). Tesla enthusiasts become really excited to see this huge silent machines on the road and take every chance of catching the glimpses whenever possible.

Last month Elon Musk announced that two prototype Tesla Semi trucks are leaving Gigafactory 1 in Nevada to deliver battery packs to the Fremont car factory in Fremont, CA. Since then there has been a great deal of enthusiasm regarding the class 8 electric-rig.

Tesla trucks were recently also seen supercharging in Missouri which is home to one of their biggest client Anheuser-Busch (Budweiser) who have reserved 40 trucks to embrace sustainability.

Tesla Semi Trucks is getting rave reviews on exceptional performance pulling the load — the trucks even handle the ‘on-ramps’ like a breeze.

Tesla Semi ‘beast’ is able to go 0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) with 80,000 lbs of load in just 20 seconds — this power comes from an unknown battery-pack and four motors on the rear axles.
