Here's a first look at Tesla's electric semi

Tesla will begin production of the vehicle in 2019. The company is currently taking reservations for the semi, but a deposit will set buyers back $5,000.

The cabin is also spacious enough for the driver to stand.

The driver position is placed in the center of the vehicle, instead of on the left side. This helps provide greater visibility to the driver, Musk said.

The interior of the vehicle is minimalistic and designed around the comfort of the driver.

It can charge up to 400 miles in just 30 minutes when using a Megacharger, which is a new high-speed charger.

The big rig has an impressive range of 500 miles per charge. With 80,000 pounds of cargo, it can make the same run in just 20 seconds.

The semi can go 0-60 mph in five seconds without a trailer attached.

"We designed the Tesla truck to be like a bullet," Musk said at the event.
