Perhaps the other truck driver didn\u2019t see the stopped <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/tesla\/semi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\">Semi<\/a> in time and made a sudden avoidance maneuver that could have resulted in what we see in the video. There\u2019s a good chance the aforementioned tow truck was there to pull the truck onto the road, not for the Semi.<\/p>\n<p>It could be just that the Semi ran out of electricity in that exact spot &#8211; maybe Tesla was testing the vehicle in this way, having it driven with very low state of charge. There\u2019s also a chance something could have malfunctioned, of course, and that wouldn\u2019t be at all surprising given the fact that while Tesla may have learned how to build cars, it isn\u2019t that experienced when it comes to building trucks, so unforeseen problems may arise.<\/p>\n<p>The Tesla service Ford Transit parked behind the Semi could be there to try to <a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/561326\/new-photos-tesla-megachargers\/\" data-inline-widget=\"internal-links\" data-type-id=\"0\" data-params=\"%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22561326%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22new-photos-tesla-megachargers%22%7D\">give the Semi some juice to get it moving<\/a> &#8211; if indeed that was the problem &#8211; or it could have brought technicians and engineers over to diagnose whatever was keeping it from moving. There is a good chance that early Tesla Semi operators will encounter bugs that will be ironed out over time.<\/p>\n<section class=\"relatedContent-new trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"related-content\" data-widget-size=\"content\" data-params=\"%7B%22type_id%22%3A0%2C%22title_id%22%3A%22%22%2C%22items%22%3A%5B%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22614208%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22Tesla%20Semi%20With%20Storytelling%20Graffiti%20Shows%20Up%20At%20Tesla's%20AI%20Day%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22painted-tesla-semi-ai-day-showcase%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2F7ZZMxJ%2Fs5%2Ftesla-semi.jpg%22%7D%7D%2C%7B%22article_edition_id%22%3A%22612792%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22More%20Tesla%20Semis%20Out%20On%20Public%20Roads%20Prior%20To%20Upcoming%20Deliveries%22%2C%22alias%22%3A%22tesla-semis-public-roads-deliveries-coming%22%2C%22section%22%3A%221%22%2C%22is_video%22%3A%220%22%2C%22images%22%3A%7B%22s5%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.motor1.com%2Fimages%2Fmgl%2FkoojNN%2Fs5%2Ftesla-semi.jpg%22%7D%7D%5D%7D\">   <\/section>\n<section class=\"trinity-skip-it\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\" data-widget=\"video_mstv\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sizer\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAYAAAA7KqwyAAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAABpJREFUeNpi\/P\/\/PwMlgImBQjBqwLAwACDAAOVfAw9\/ZDvcAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC\" alt=\"\"\/>  <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla will deliver its first Semi trucks to a customer, PepsiCo, on the 1st of December, but the manufacturer is still out testing prototypes and not all of them may be performing as expected.
