American multinational automotive company Tesla is all set to launch much-awaited semi-truck 'Semi' by end of 2022 and Cybertruck in 2023. Tesla CEO and world's richest person Elon Musk took to Twitter and announced that the world would not have to wait for much more for the Semi and the Cybertruck. As he promised, there will be a range of 500 miles on the Semi. However, there is no news about how big the battery will be to reach those figures.
While unveiling, Tesla said that the Semi would go from 0 to 60 in flat five seconds. It would be possible even without a payload and rival a hatchback. While carrying 36.3 tonnes, the sprint at the headline would be like 20 seconds. Tesla also said that the Semi could add 400 miles in only 30 minutes of charging. Because of the Megachargers, the company's Supercharger will look like triple A batteries.
Apart from all this, Elon Musk has also confirmed that the much-awaited Tesla Cybertruck will launch in 2023. The pickup truck looks otherworldly and had a divided opinion upon its revealing in 2019. Its armored glass failed when it was on the demo on the stage.

But he would still be looking to at least not lose money. Especially, since part of the acquisition could be financed by his own funds. A significant portion is through bank loans, which will increase Twitter's debt load.

Musk has not yet detailed how he intends to increase Twitter's revenue. He once suggested lowering the price of Twitter Blue, the paid version of the network, but later withdrew that tweet. Another option would be to cut the workforce, especially since he is in favour of less content moderation.

The Cybertruck will have a 500-mile range in its top-spec model. It will have a Tri-motor and reach 0 to 60 in just 2.9 seconds. In 2019, Tesla said that it would be priced at $69,900. However, we do not doubt that the price would have gone up.
When Tesla unveiled the Cybertruck, it did not have any competitors. Since then, we have seen the Hummer EV, Ford F-150 Lightning, and the Rivian R1T launch.
