It has been almost two years since the Tesla Semi
was unveiled, yet it has still yet to hit the production line, let alone reach
the hands of customers. Nevertheless, Vanlifer has decided to imagine what it
could look like if it was converted into a motorhome.
In order to create the Tesla motorhome, the front
end and underpinnings of the Semi have been left untouched. Consequently, the
only changes which have been made are found behind the vehicle’s cabin, and
they’re certainly quite comprehensive.
Directly behind the cabin of the sits a seating
area, which can also be folded out into a double bed when needed, and a
kitchen. In addition, it features a small bathroom and a shower and, at the
rear, a double bed. Last, but not least, there is a another double bed,
directly above the cabin, meaning such a motorhome could sleep up to six in
relative comfort.
Back in June, Elon Musk revealed that production of
the company’s Semi truck had been pushed back until late 2020. Tesla initially
wanted to start building it this year, but that goal proved to be overly
ambitious. According to the company, this is because it is matching the product
rollout of new models according to the scaling of battery production. Tesla
isn’t currently making enough batteries to produce the Semi, hence the delay.
When the Semi does eventually arrive, the
range-topping version should have about 804 km of range and cost
about US$ 180,000.
