Jimmy O’Dea took the following short video clip of the silver Tesla Semi prototype which was at the time without a trailer attached (aka Bobtail mode) — according to Jimmy the Tesla Semi was leaving after a demonstration in Sacramento, CA.
Jimmy also says that it was very quiet as it passed by, he said:
It was very quiet. My phone 🎤 just picked up the little ambient and vehicle noise that was there. You can hear the tire going over the gravel at the very end for a sense of how quiet it was.
Let’s look at the video he shot that has already gone viral on Twitter:
The red colored Tesla Semi truck was first seen at the Kettleman City Supercharger station at the end of last year, after that, a picture of the silver Tesla Semi-truck carrying a Model X on its trailer was shared by Tesla’s President of Automotive calling it an ‘Aircraft Carrier’, signaling Tesla’s future plans on using their electric semi trucks for vehicle transportation.
In the same discussion threat of the above Tesla Semi video, Andriy Newhouse shared pictures of the same truck from the front, rear and side-views at the same location.
Douglas Han, on the other hand, was able to snap a couple of photos of the red Tesla Semi prototype while it was absorbing electrons at a Supercharger location, pretty amazing to say the least.
