— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 17, 2017 Before the new model's unveiling, Tesla already boasted the second-quickest production car ever made with its Model S. A software update last year put the Tesla Model S P100D second only to the Porsche 918 Spyder in terms of acceleration, reaching 60 miles per hour in 2.28 seconds compared with the 2.2 seconds of the Porsche. The Roadster was unveiled alongside Tesla's all-electric semitruck, which has drawn mixed reactions from automotive experts. The Tesla Semi Truck has a range of 500 miles, can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in under five seconds and claims to be more aerodynamic that a supercar.

Tesla Arthur Wheaton from Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations said that the electric truck signaled the future of long-distance haulage but risked stretching Tesla's production resources too far. "I think the electrification of large trucks makes sense," Wheaton said in a statement shared with Newsweek. "There is less concern for passenger space and more emphasis on towing or hauling capacity…Having electric trucks can reduce the harmful effects [of diesel emissions]. "The profitability of semi-trucks for Tesla is not guaranteed. The supply for their existing Model 3 production is already showing signs of stress so adding larger products in a completely separate market will add strain to Tesla's resources." \ \ Newsweek is committed to challenging conventional wisdom and finding connections in the search for common ground. \ \ \ ';uncommonKnowledgeItems[0].insertAdjacentHTML('afterend',uncommonKnowledgeContainerHtml);let uncommonKnowledgeContainerElement=document.getElementsByClassName('uncommon-knowledge');let itemsContainerElement=document.getElementById('uncommon-knowledge-items-container');uncommonKnowledgeContainerElement[0].style.display='block';uncommonKnowledgeItems.forEach((itemUncommon)=>{document.getElementById('uncommon-knowledge-items-container').insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend','
