Tesla Launches All-Electric Semi-Truck

Published : May 15, 2026

Tesla unveiled its highly-anticipated Class 8 all-electric semi-truck, known as “BAMF Performance”. The prototype of the truck is made almost entirely of CFRP. Trucks.com reports, however, that Tesla has not made a final decision on the materials to be used for production models. Tesla uses aluminum for most of the structural material in its cars, but could opt for a combination of aluminum and composites for the production truck in order to offset the weight of the battery pack. Made with carbon fiber panels, the Tesla Semi’s cabin features a central driving position, with two screens flanking the steering wheel.
