Where Tesla’s prototype electric Semi — a battery-powered long-haul truck — will go next is anyone’s guess. But in recent days, Elon Musk’s truck was spotted in Salt Lake City, Utah.
A woman who said she’s a Tesla employee posted on her Instagram Friday pictures of the truck and an inside view of the big-rig. She wrote that it was only at the service center for an hour and “they wouldn’t tell us where it was going after this.”

Budweiser’s parent company is going electric — and it’s not with the company most synonymous with electric vehicles.
Anheuser-Busch, the beverage company that owns the popular beer, announced Thursday it’s ordering 800 hydrogen-electric, zero-emission semi-trucks from the Nikola Motor Company.
Yes, that’s the same company that just sued Tesla for $2 billion over what it claims are patent infringements for its semi-truck design. The Tesla Semi is an electric truck with a 300-mile range and a $150,000 price tag. Nikola says its competing hydrogen-electric truck dubbed the One has a 500- to 1,000-mile range. It’s price is unclear, but it has a monthly leasing program reportedly starting at around $5,000 a month. Read more…

Volkswagen debuted a concept pickup truck at the New York Auto Show this week, and the Atlas-based design features a short bed design, based on VW’s MQB platform. It’s basically the Atlas 7-seater SUV with the back cut off and a small (but versatile) truck bed in place of the SUV’s cargo storage and third […]

Argo AI self-driving test car hit in Pittsburgh as truck runs red light
One of the test cars Argo AI operates in its Pittsburgh fleet was involved in an accident on Wednesday, with two people sent to hospital (in stable condition) with injuries as a result of the accident.

Another day, another angry sticker added to that headline-making, Trump-hating pick-up truck. This time, it’s aimed at Troy Nehls, the sheriff who sought to bring disorderly conduct charges against the truck’s driver, Karen Fonseca.
After Fonesca was targeted for the crude anti-Trump sticker on her truck’s rear window last Thursday, she was arrested on an outstanding fraud warrant issued in July. Interesting timing, eh?
The resident of Fort Bend County, Texas, has since been released on a $1,500 bond. She celebrated her freedom in the most epic way imaginable — by trolling the sheriff with a sassy AF decal for her truck. Read more…
