Tesla Semi’s Spacious Cabin Is Built Around The Driver, Tesla Engineer Explains
Tesla unveiled more information and imagery of the finalized design of its Semi truck at its delivery event on December 1st. During more than a half-hour-long presentation by Elon Musk and Tesla Semi senior engineer Dan Priestly, the duo discussed the electric truck’s interior in detail.
The “Tesla Semi cabin is built around the driver,” was the main theme around which Musk and Priestly explained the details of the truck’s interior space.
The Tesla Semi cabin is far from having the traditional ICE truck cabin in a lot of ways. Its roomier design allows for the driver to freely stand inside the cabin. Even tall persons such as Elon Musk are easily able to stand inside the Tesla Semi cabin, Tesla’s engineer explained.
Tesla also showed the following video clip that shows a driver entering the Tesla Semi cabin, taking off his jacket, and hanging it on the rear wall of the truck’s cabin. “It’s not a sleeper cab, it’s a day cab,” Dan said.
