If you check out the reveal, you'll see that it doesn't have those ridiculous covers, nor does it have near zero clearance between the cab and trailer which would prevent articulation, and nor does it have near zero ground clearance.

I'm not sure what you mean. Looks about the same as the linked page to me. > nor does it have near zero clearance between the cab and trailer which would prevent articulation, and nor does it have near zero ground clearance. https://i.imgur.com/cECtzId.png https://i.imgur.com/cECtzId.png https://i.imgur.com/EPIchQz.png https://i.imgur.com/EPIchQz.png Ground clearance seems smaller because of how huge it is.

  Odd, the article I read had this image: https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/2017/11/Tesla-Semi-Truck-Specs-Event-7-620x350.jpg https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/201... (or one like it), and looking at the video, it seems they had both on stage? Are there two models? It didn't seem to be discussed.

    The page does say "300 or 500 miles" for the range. Sounds like there's multiple models to me.

    In the middle of the presentation, Elon mentioned that people were asking for a Pickup truck so they built a smaller version of a pickup truck. The one you linked to is that. They aren't taking orders for it.

    They had two on stage. One tall, one less-tall. That's the latter.
